Construction Loans

Construction loans are a form of financing designed to help a business create real estate from the foundation to the roof. In some cases, a construction loan can also cover land development or renovations on an existing property. Funds are paid out based on construction milestones, sometimes directly to the contractor involved in the project. These loans are short-term, meant only to cover expenses until the building is complete.

CONSTRUCTION LOANS

Overview

Construction loans provide short-term financing for new builds and major renovations, typically taken out by builders or companies. Lenders review detailed plans, blueprints, and contractor qualifications before approval, and funds are released in stages as milestones are completed. These loans usually require interest-only payments during construction, with long-term financing secured once the project is finished. Some even roll automatically into permanent financing.

Ground-Up Construction

Finance the full cost of building a new property from start to finish.

Major Renovations

Cover expenses for large-scale improvements or expansions to existing buildings.

Project Completion

Secure funds to finish stalled projects and move them toward permanent financing.
