The LRS Process

How The Launch Reimbursement System™ Works

An effective reimbursement process helps developers and homebuilders protect their ability to recover eligible public infrastructure costs from the first invoice through final payment. The Launch Reimbursement System™ is a managed service for projects using special taxing districts. Launch tracks eligible costs, organizes required documentation, prepares reimbursement submittals, and provides visibility throughout the process.

Why It Matters

Reimbursements are rarely lost in one big way. They are lost in dozens of small ones.

Missing backup, incomplete lien releases, incorrect bidding procedures, delayed acceptance letters, unorganized invoices, and unclear cost tracking can all slow down or jeopardize reimbursement.

The LRS gives developers a structured, Launch-managed process to identify issues early, maintain documentation discipline, and keep reimbursement activity moving forward.

From First Invoice to Final Reimbursement

A disciplined reimbursement process for every reimbursable dollar.

The Launch Reimbursement System™ brings order, visibility, and accountability to the reimbursement process from project setup through final reimbursement.

01

Set Up Eligible Cost Tracking

Launch organizes district-eligible costs by project, contract, improvement area, and reimbursement status.

02

Support Bidding Compliance

Launch helps guide required bidding procedures to reduce the risk of noncompliance, delays, or denied reimbursement.

03

Collect Required Documentation

Launch gathers and organizes bids, contracts, change orders, invoices, certified payrolls, checks, lien releases, as-builts, and acceptance letters.

04

Identify Missing Backup

The LRS helps flag documentation gaps before reimbursement packages are submitted, reducing avoidable rejections or delays.

05

Prepare Reimbursement Binders

Launch compiles and submits electronic reimbursement binders to district representatives and coordinates follow-up throughout the review process.

06

Report Status and Capacity

Launch provides visibility into costs processed, binders submitted, reimbursements received, pending reimbursements, and remaining bond proceeds.

Real-Time Visibility

Management reporting that shows what matters.

The Launch Reimbursement System™ provides development teams with a clearer view of reimbursable costs, submitted binders, reimbursements received, remaining district balances, and pending reimbursement activity.

Combined with The Launch Control Matrix™, the LRS gives management a centralized view of special district activity so teams can forecast reimbursement timing and understand where each project stands.

What the LRS Helps Track

  • Total reimbursable construction costs
  • Costs processed to date in the LRS
