We cater to all kinds of construction companies offering unique builder financing programs to meet all your needs. Whether you are a big scale builder constructing hundreds of homes a year, or a home builder specializing in customized construction, or a small builder just starting out, our construction loans are well designed to suit your requirements.

A Construction Mortgage can be used for either the construction of a new home, major renovations to a home or the increasingly common process of teardown and rebuild of infill properties.

Where the increase is greater than 10% of the as-improved value, the advancing options for new construction apply. The standard thresholds for completion of work and advancing funds to you are:

• 35-40% complete (foundation in, framing stage complete)
• 60-65% complete (lockup stage, all windows and doors are in)
• 80-85% complete (finishing stage, if required)
• 85-100% (completion, if required)

With projects of this scale, it requires a higher level of organization and planning; lenders will request some, if not all of the following items to fairly assess the scope, timeline and cost of the project that you are rolling out:

• Development Plans, Architectural Renderings
• Site Survey, Environmental Land Assessment
• Builder, General Contractor, Sub-Trade Estimates Cost, Timing, Etc.
• Appraisal Of Property, Project
• Building Specs
• Business Plan

The lender will assess the value of the property and the project as a whole. The LTV and Down Payment percentage requirements are based on as-completed value. The as- completed value is used to determine maximum loan amount (maximum LTV varies by product and number of units). The Approved Lender advances directly to the builder during construction.
