Welcome to OwnerDraw
An overview of what OwnerDraw does, who it's for, and the key features.
What is OwnerDraw?
OwnerDraw is a web application designed specifically for **owner-builders** — people who are building their own home and acting as their own general contractor. It helps you manage every aspect of your construction project, from budgeting and scheduling to bank draws and lien waivers.
Who is it For?
Whether you're a first-time owner-builder or have some construction experience, OwnerDraw provides the structure and guidance you need to stay organized, on budget, and on schedule.
Key Features
- **The Playbook** — A phase-by-phase construction guide that walks you through every step of the build process
- **Budget Management** — Track estimated costs, actual spending, and variances across all budget categories
- **Allowances & Selections** — Research products, compare options, and track finish selections against your budget
- **Bank Ready** — Generate professional loan packets and draw requests with industry-standard AIA forms
- **Lien Waivers** — Track and manage lien waivers from all your subcontractors
- **QC Checklists** — Pre-built quality control checklists for every trade
