Construction

Financing built around your build

Construction lending is released in stages, so the loan has to match your budget, your draw schedule and your exit plan. A preliminary review helps confirm the structure is realistic before you commit to a timeline.

Ground-up construction

From lot purchase to certificate of occupancy, funded by draw.

Spec homes

Build-to-sell projects structured around the sales timeline.

Major renovation

Additions, tear-downs and gut remodels on an existing footprint.

Owner-built residence

Primary residence construction with owner or builder supervision.

Lot & land

Land acquisition with construction take-out in view.

Bridge to permanent

Construction loan structured with the refinance exit in mind.

What underwriters look at

  • Loan-to-cost and total project budget
  • Builder or general contractor experience and licensing
  • Draw schedule and inspection process
  • Borrower liquidity, reserves and credit profile
  • Exit strategy — refinance or sale of the completed project

What to prepare

  • Plans, specifications and itemized construction budget
  • Builder resume, license and references
  • Purchase contract for the lot or current property value
  • Draw schedule and estimated project timeline
