Build and score your JV agreement before legal review.
PactPilot walks developers and investors through the joint venture decisions that matter, scores the framework out of 100, stress-tests it and drafts a first agreement. Take it to your own attorney or one in the ConstructFi network, and spend legal fees on review instead of discovery.
Every JV is different. The questions change with it.
A landowner contributing a site needs different protections than a contractor earning sweat equity or a fund taking tax credits. PactPilot builds the framework around the structure you pick and the project you are building.
Sponsor + capital partner
One side finds and runs the deal, the other funds most of it. Fees, the promote, the waterfall and how the manager can be removed.
Landowner + developer
Land goes in as equity. How it is valued, what happens if entitlements fail and when the owner can get the land back.
Equal partners (50/50)
Shared control means shared deadlock. Major decisions, tie-breakers and a clean way out when partners disagree.
Developer + contractor
A contractor earns equity by building. Vesting, cost overruns, change orders and what happens if the work stops.
Affordable housing / LIHTC
Tax-credit investors, adjusters, recapture risk, general partner replacement and compliance for the full period.
Multiple passive investors
Many investors, one manager. Securities questions, reporting, fees defined up front and conflicts disclosed.
Programmatic / institutional
A repeat program with an institution. Approval rights, budgets, key persons and the terms that carry across deals.
Six kinds of project
- Ground-up development
- Value-add or heavy rehab
- Stabilized acquisition
- Land or entitlement play
- Mixed-use or urban infill
- ADU or small infill
From a blank page to a draft counsel can review.

- An early sale at a big gain, or a loss
- Entitlements or permits are denied
- Tax credits arrive late or are recaptured

TIGHTEN IT
The deal is taking shape, but key terms are thin or missing. PactPilot shows exactly which ones to fix first.
- <55
NOT READY

Before you start.
Is PactPilot a law firm?
No. PactPilot is a self-help tool from ConstructFi Inc. It does not give legal advice, does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not replace an attorney. It helps you decide the business terms and arrive at legal review prepared.
Do I still need an attorney?
Yes. Every drafted agreement is a first draft for attorney review. The point is to spend counsel's time reviewing and finishing your deal instead of designing it from a blank page.
Can I use my own attorney?
Yes. Export the agreement in Word and the attorney brief and send them to anyone. If you do not have an attorney, you can send the framework free to one listed in the ConstructFi network. They quote and bill you directly.
Does ConstructFi take a share of attorney fees?
Never. Attorneys pay ConstructFi a flat listing fee to be found on the platform. There are no per-lead charges and no percentage of what they bill you.
Do Pact Credits expire?
No. Pact Credits never expire and have no cash value. Unused purchased credits can be refunded within 30 days of purchase.
How does it connect to Eluvial Academy?
The Eluvial Academy JV course and PactPilot use the same framework. Questions link to the module that teaches them. Graduates have their certificate noted on attorney briefs and get 10 Pact Credits once per account.
