Question
Do we have to build our own applications on the platform?
Answer
No. As part of our onboarding process, we automate your applications and make a link available on your website. When a borrower clicks on the link, they will enter the Builders Patch platform where they will complete the application and upload the requested underwriting/due diligence documents.
Question
As our borrower gives us the documents we need for our underwriting/due diligence, we update our checklist manually. How is Builders Patch different?
Answer
As the borrower uploads requested documents, your team will receive a notification and the checklist will be updated automatically. Both you and the borrower can easily see what has been provided and what is missing.
Question
Each one of our loan officers has a different way of saving documents to our shared server. Can Builders Patch help with this?
Answer
Helping you stay organized is important to Builders Patch. As borrowers upload underwriting files, they are automatically stored in the appropriate folders. This folder structure can be customized by you and can be standardized across applications. This way, all your deals will share the same folder structure across your portfolio regardless of how many loan officers you have.
Question
Can Builders Patch help us keep track of our pipeline?
Answer
Yes. Our platform provides you with a dashboard so that you can see all the deals, and their status, in your pipeline from application to closing. You have the option to view your pipeline in different formats such as list, map, and thumbnails and you can also sort them based on the stage of the application.
Question
Can we create reports with Builders Patch?
Answer
Yes, Builders Patch can automatically create any number of custom reports for you, including deployment reports, risk rating reports, and pipeline reports, to name a few.
Question
During the loan cycle, we communicate with a lot of different people. Am I limited in terms of the number of people I can communicate with on Builders Patch?
Answer
No. At Builders Patch, we make it easy to communicate with your borrowers, team members, and third parties, including underwriters, lawyers, and anyone else you choose. They don’t have to be existing customers of ours in order to work with you on our platform. You also have total control over what you share with whom.
Question
How long does it take to get up and running with Builders Patch?
Answer

Question
What customer support is available to clients?
Answer
Builders Patch is committed to ensuring that our customers are 100% comfortable with 100% of the platform. During the first 90 days, we schedule weekly meetings to properly onboard your team onto the platform and to discuss its functionality. After 90 days, our Customer Success is available to meet with you and answer questions on an as-needed basis. We also have a Knowledge Base of articles and videos to help you with task-specific items.
Question
We have very specific due diligence requirements. Can you accommodate for our needs?
Answer
Builders Patch has a standard checklist for different loan types. It covers about 90% of what most lenders would collect for due diligence. You can start using this standard checklist right away. However, given that each lender has their own due diligence criteria and 'secret sauce' for underwriting loans, you can request to create and add your custom checklists for the different loan types you provide. Setting them up is part of our customer onboarding process where our team will work closely with you to make sure all your needs are covered.
Question
Who owns the data on the Builders Patch platform? Do you re-sell any of the data?
Answer
Any file or information you upload to the platform is your property. We don’t re-sell any of your data to third party buyers. In short, what belongs to you stays with you and is owned by you.
Question
Is there a limit on number of users? How can I open up Builders Patch to clients and employees?
Answer
We don’t have a restriction on the number of users. All you need to do is send out an invite to people within your company and they can log in immediately. Same applies to your clients. Send out an invite and request them to complete due diligence collection by adding their deal details.
