Meet the Team
Joe Griltz
Progress inspector, Lien waiver management and Code compliance
Experience: For more than eighteen years, I have worked alongside lenders, investors, and property owners to support successful construction projects by strengthening oversight, improving transparency, and helping mitigate risk throughout the construction financing process. My work has centered on ensuring that projects remain compliant, well-documented, and aligned with funding requirements from start to finish.
I have also had the privilege of serving the Texas lending community through multiple board roles, including four years with the North Texas Association of Government Guaranteed Lenders (NTAGGL), service with the Central Texas Association of Government Guaranteed Lenders (CTAGGL), and nine years on the board of Greater Texas Capital Corporation. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of the operational, regulatory, and documentation standards within the SBA lending environment and the broader government-guaranteed lending community.
Hans Strayer
Progress inspector, Lien waiver management and Code compliance
Experience: 1975 to 1979, I served in the United States Army as a Military Policeman, where I was wounded in the line of duty several times and developed the discipline, resilience, and leadership that shaped the rest of my career. After completing my military service, I dedicated more than forty years to law enforcement and public‑sector safety roles, including extensive work in municipal inspection, code compliance, and construction oversight.
2006 to 2021, I served as a Senior Building Inspector for the City of Grapevine, Texas, conducting residential and commercial inspections and ensuring compliance with state and local building codes. I hold multiple ICC certifications, including plumbing, and maintain state licensure in Texas. My work emphasized structural integrity, safety, and clear communication with contractors, builders, and city officials.
Since 2021, I have continued my inspection career in the private sector, providing independent third‑party construction inspections and consulting for lenders, builders, and property owners. This work includes progress inspections, draw verification, code‑related assessments, and quality‑control reviews across residential and commercial projects throughout Texas.
