Construction

Construction loans, financed in stages

Finance the build as it happens, drawing funds in stages and paying interest only on what’s drawn, then convert to permanent financing when the home is done. For new builds and major rebuilds alike.

Is this you?

Where it fits, and where to look twice

A strong fit when…

  • You’re building from the ground up or taking on a major rebuild.
  • You want to pay interest only on the money actually drawn, not the full amount.
  • You’d like a clean path from construction into permanent financing.

Worth weighing…

  • Construction lending is more involved, budgets, draw schedules, and builder approval all matter.
  • Timelines and weather can shift the plan, so a realistic schedule protects your costs.
  • Rates and structures vary; lining up the conversion to permanent financing early avoids surprises.

How it works

The shape of the loan

01

Draws as the home rises

Funds are released in stages tied to construction milestones, and you pay interest only on the amount drawn so far.

02

Your equity in the project

Lenders look at total project cost against the loan amount, your contribution is the equity that makes the numbers work.

03

One path to permanent

Many programs convert to a standard mortgage at completion, so you don’t have to qualify twice or close twice.

Common questions

Answered straight

Do I pay on the full loan during the build?+

No, interest accrues only on what’s been drawn, which keeps carrying costs lower while the home is going up.

Does it become a regular mortgage?+

Often, yes. Construction-to-permanent loans convert at completion, saving a second closing. We’ll set it up that way where it fits.

Do you work with my builder?+

Most construction lenders vet the builder and budget. We’ll guide that step and keep the draws moving.
