What is a Construction Loan?

A construction loan is a type of home loan specifically designed for people building a new home or undertaking major renovations. Unlike a standard home loan, construction loans are paid progressively with funds released in stages as your build progresses, rather than in one lump sum. This structure helps manage cash flow and ensures you only pay interest on the money that’s been released.

How Construction Loans Work

When you take out a construction loan, you’ll receive funding in clearly defined stages:

  • Land Purchase (if applicable)
  • Slab Down Stage
  • Structural Walls or Frame Stage
  • Roof Cover Stage
  • Lock Up Stage
  • Final or Practical Completion

We liaise frequently with your builder and lender to coordinate each progress payment, ensuring payments are made on time and according to your build contract.
