In a construction loan, at each draw, the lender collects an inspection fee. Thus, the inspection fee is taken from funds set aside for the construction. In this scenario, has the lender collected fees after closing requiring the inspection charges to be disclosed on an addendum; or has the lender collected funds at closing because the money for the charges has been reserved for in the loan amount requiring disclosure on page 2 of the Closing Disclosure as "loan costs?"

The lender has collected fees. Make the disclosures on the addendum page.

I think you need to look at your accounting practices. I can read your question more than one way.

It sounds like you 'reserved' a specific amount, and if so, when you did your breakouts and ledger tickets, did you go ahead and pull the inspection money into a GL account for that purpose? If so, it's loan costs [this is what we do]

If you only pull the money from the available draw balance as an inspection happens, then it would go on an addendum.
