Basics
Identifying information. Address drives weather data, permit lookups, and benchmark cohorting.
Use "Address, Model name" for easy identification across projects.
Construction details
Drives benchmark comparisons and cost-per-SF reporting. Heated SF is the only one that affects cost models, the rest are reference.
Conditioned square footage only.

Construction loan
Annual rate. Interest accrues on drawn balance only.
Withheld from each draw until completion.
