Baker Hill and Built Integrate Platforms for CRE Lending Lifecycle

The integration connects Baker Hill’s commercial lending origination technology directly with Built’s construction finance platform. By allowing seamless data flow between these systems, the collaboration aims to eliminate the reliance on manual email chains and disconnected drives that currently plague many banks and credit unions. This unified approach provides lenders with a holistic view of property projects, budgets, and borrower documentation without requiring the replacement of existing infrastructure.

Federal Reserve data highlights the scale of this challenge, with U.S. commercial banks holding approximately $454 billion in construction and land development loans. Currently, the administrative burden of coordinating inspections and covenants often slows decision-making. Andy Ivankovich, chairman and CEO of Baker Hill, noted that lenders require the same level of control after closing that they maintain during the initial origination process. By centralizing draws, exceptions, and asset performance, the combined platform allows teams to focus on risk management rather than reconciling disparate data sets.
