      Change Date March 11, 2019 • This chapter has been revised in its entirety.
      a. Construction Exhibits Construction exhibits must be uploaded by the lender
      into WebLGY the same day the case number is assigned. The exhibits must include:
      • survey or plot plan, • plans sufficient to allow the appraiser to establish
      market value, • foundation or basement plan, • exterior elevations, • wall section,
      and • specifications, on either VA Form 26-1852, Description of Materials, HUD
      Form 92541, or another format that provides essentially the same information
      in sufficient detail. b. Certification of Exhibits The appraiser will certify
      in the appraisal report, “I hereby certify that the information contained in
      [specific identification for all construction exhibits, (for example, Smith
      Construction Plan Type A, 9 sheets, VA Form 26-1852, Description of Materials,
      plot plan by Jones, Inc.)], was used to arrive at the estimate of reasonable
      value noted in this report.” c. Appraisal Subject to Completion of Construction
      The appraiser will prepare the appraisal report subject to the completion per
      plans and specifications. VA Pamphlet 26-7, Revised Chapter 10: Appraisal Process
