Turning blueprints into reality.
A construction loan is a specialised type of financing that provides funds to build a new home, renovate an existing one, or complete a major building project. Unlike a standard mortgage, funds are disbursed in stages as construction progresses.
Loan Approval: Your lender approves your loan based on the project's plans, budget, and your financial situation.
Progress Payments: Funds are released to your builder in stages (drawdowns) as they complete specific milestones.
Construction Phase: You typically make interest-only payments during the construction period.
Completion: Once construction is complete, the loan often converts to a traditional mortgage.
Interest-Only Payments: Often available during the building phase to help manage cash flow.
Detailed Documentation: Requires comprehensive plans, permits, and builder contracts.
Lender Inspections: Lenders may inspect the property at each stage to ensure work is completed.

What is a progress payment?
A progress payment is a portion of the construction loan that is paid to the builder as they complete specific stages of the building process. The stages and payment amounts are typically outlined in the construction contract.
What is a fixed-price contract?
A fixed-price contract is an agreement with your builder where the total cost of the construction project is agreed upon before work begins. This provides cost certainty and helps you stay within budget.
What is a drawdown?
In the context of a construction loan, a drawdown refers to the release of funds from the lender to the borrower (or, more accurately, to the builder) at each stage of construction.
What is LVR?
LVR stands for Loan-to-Value Ratio. It's the percentage of the property's value that you are borrowing. For example, if you are borrowing $400,000 to build a home on a $500,000 piece of land, your LVR is 80%.
