Funding Your Vision From the Ground Up
Building a home is a unique journey, and it requires a specialized type of financing. Unlike a standard home loan, a construction loan is structured to release funds in stages as your build progresses. We have hands-on experience with development and renovation and can help you navigate the complexities of construction finance.
Navigating Construction Finance
We provide expert guidance on the specific requirements of construction loans, including:
- Understanding the Process: We'll explain how progressive drawdowns work and what's required at each stage, from the slab down to the final fixtures.
- Managing Progress Payments: We liaise with your builder and the lender to ensure payments are made on time, keeping your project on track.
- Fixed vs. Variable Rates: We help you decide on the right interest rate structure for the construction period and beyond.
- Budget & Contingency Planning: Our real-world experience helps you budget effectively and plan for contingencies, avoiding costly surprises.
