New integration speeds construction lending by reducing delays and improving compliance
TROY, Mich., and SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., Oct. 28, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Class Valuation, a leading real estate appraisal management company, and Land Gorilla, a leading provider of construction lending software, today announced a joint integration that adds a new Appraisal Management Company category to Land Gorilla’s inspection marketplace. This enables lenders to order or automate final inspections and appraisal updates directly within the Land Gorilla platform.

This collaboration centralizes a critical step in the construction loan lifecycle and is designed to cut delays, reduce risk and speed draw disbursements for lenders.
Through Land Gorilla’s marketplace, mutual clients can automatically trigger inspection orders when a project reaches its completion milestone. Class Valuation routes the request to the original appraiser when available or quickly assigns a qualified local appraiser. This minimizes the end-of-project bottleneck that often stretches multiple weeks for many lenders.
The partnership also supports additional Class Valuation products, providing lenders with greater assurance in collateral valuation data, alongside Land Gorilla’s secure and auditable inspection workflows. With appraisal products becoming the third major category in Land Gorilla’s marketplace — joining draw inspections and title updates — the direct integration standardizes data exchange and order processing. It moves beyond customized connections to a reliable, repeatable system that will serve new-construction, investment and private-lending segments and credit unions. Moreover, this integration will support the delivery of Update and Completion appraisal reports in the new UAD 3.6 format. The integration is expected to be available midway through the fourth quarter, with broad access for Land Gorilla lenders at launch.
“This is about helping general contractors get their final disbursement faster,” said Sean Faries, CEO of Land Gorilla. “By embedding Class Valuation directly into our Marketplace, lenders get an automated, scalable path to final inspections that reduces manual touches, accelerates final payment and closes out projects faster.”
“This is really two leaders coming together to remove a costly choke point in construction lending,” said John Fraas, CEO of Class Valuation. “Our nationwide 1004D/Final Appraisal Inspections coverage combined with Land Gorilla’s automation helps lenders in any market — busy or slow — close out projects faster, lower carrying costs and mitigate compliance risk. The fact that we can also quickly assign the final inspection back to the original appraiser adds a layer of certainty that the lenders need to feel confident in the final approval decision.”
