12.1.2 HUD Construction Analyst (CA)

A. HUD regional production chiefs or designated technical branch chiefs will assign HUD construction analysts to administer construction for each project. The assigned construction analyst (CA) serves as a single point of contact on behalf of HUD to the Lenders and the external development team (e.g., owner, General Contractor, Architect, etc.) during the construction administration period. In general, the CA is responsible for overseeing construction progress and the development team’s performance during construction and the contractor’s warranty period. The HUD CA must be familiar with all program and contractual requirements particular to the project. Where existing HUD forms (e.g. the Trip Report, form HUD 95379) refer to the HUD “construction manager” or “CM” the reference is to the HUD construction analyst designated as the HUD point of contact for construction administration of the project.
