Finance
Construction loans, explained in plain English.
How a construction loan actually works.
Instead of one lump sum, your lender releases money at five build stages — slab, frame, lock-up, fixing and completion. You pay interest only on what's been drawn, which keeps costs down while you're still renting.
- Progress payments at five stages
- Interest-only on drawn amounts during the build
- Land can settle first, build drawn after
