Construction Loans

Construction financing up to $4 million — for eligible borrowers building a new home or completing a major renovation, subject to qualifications, lender guidelines, project approval, property, and location.

Who May Benefit

  • Borrowers building a new custom home on owned or purchased land
  • Those undertaking major renovations requiring construction financing
  • Buyers who want to build rather than purchase an existing home
  • Borrowers with strong credit, documented income, and significant assets
  • Those with an approved builder and detailed project plans

How It Generally Works

Construction loans fund the building process in stages called draws, released as work is completed and verified. Unlike a traditional mortgage, you typically pay interest only on the amount drawn during construction. Once the home is complete, the loan converts to or is replaced by a permanent mortgage.

Lenders typically require detailed plans, a budget, a licensed builder, and regular inspections. The borrower, builder, and project all go through an approval process. Construction financing is more complex than a standard purchase loan — a conversation with Courtney is the best starting point.

Key Considerations

Builder and Project Approval

The lender reviews and approves the builder, plans, and budget as part of the loan process. Not all builders or project types will qualify.

Draw Schedule

Funds are released in stages as construction milestones are completed and verified by inspections. You typically pay interest only on amounts drawn during construction.

Conversion to Permanent Financing

At completion, the construction loan converts to or is replaced by a permanent mortgage. The terms of the permanent financing are part of the overall loan structure.
