Your expert construction lending team

Construction loans work differently to standard home loans. Instead of receiving funds in a lump sum, the money is released in stages as your build progresses — known as progress payments.

This structure means you only pay interest on what's been drawn down at any given time, reducing your holding costs during the build. Our team understands the nuances of construction finance and will guide you every step of the way.

Progress payments

Funds released in stages so you only pay interest on what's been drawn

Renovations too

Construction finance isn't just for new builds — major renovations qualify too

Fixed price contract

Most lenders require a fixed price building contract before approval

Interest only during build

Repayments typically convert to principal and interest once construction completes

The Process

How it works

Five steps from assessing your capacity to holding the keys to your finished home.

1

Assess your borrowing capacity

Evaluate how much you can borrow without overextending — while keeping reserves for unexpected build expenses. We provide calculators and personalised guidance to clarify your position.

2

Get pre-approval

Pre-approval isn't a commitment to lend, but it lets you know how much you can borrow based on certain criteria — giving you and your builder a clear starting point for the project.

3

Offers are made and accepted

Once your building contract is signed and accepted, we move quickly to initiate your construction loan and begin the formal application — minimising holding costs on your land.

4

Preparing the application

Required documentation includes property details, builder payment schedules, building contracts, and development plans. We gather and package everything to give your application the best chance of success.

5

Completion

After construction finishes, we obtain completion documentation, insurances and warranties, and request an updated property valuation to finalise your loan. Time to enjoy the home you built.
