Construction Loans

Purpose-built finance for new builds, renovations, and everything in between.

What Is a Construction Loan?

A construction loan is a tailored lending solution for people building or significantly renovating a home. Unlike a traditional mortgage, where funds are released in full at settlement, construction loans operate on progress drawdowns—you receive funds in stages aligned with key construction milestones.

This means you:

  • Only pay interest on the amount drawn, not the entire loan
  • Can budget as you build, with clear cost breakdowns
  • Gain financial flexibility during your project’s most dynamic phase

For those embarking on new build loans, home extension construction loans, or even prefab home construction loans, this structure offers cost control and transparency at every step.

Who Are Construction Loans For?

Our construction loans are purpose-built for Australians who are ready to shape their next chapter, not just buy into it. Whether you’re managing blueprints or bringing an old property back to life, this loan is for you if:

You’re building a brand-new home

from a blank block, house-and-land package, or a knockdown rebuild

You’re renovating or extending

adding value with structural upgrades like second-storey additions or major overhauls

You’re investing in a prefab/modular build

with staged funding during off-site and on-site construction

You’re an owner-builder

and need a lender who understands the unique structure and compliance needed

You want more control over how funds flow

and need a drawdown model that tracks with your project

You need finance that flexes with your timeline

whether it’s six months to fit-out or two years from slab to final inspection

If your project needs funding that works with you—not against your progress—this loan is designed for that.

How Do Construction Loans Work?

We break the loan down into five key construction stages, each supported by a progress payment:

After each stage, your builder submits an invoice, and you complete a progress drawing request. A property appraiser may inspect the site to confirm completion. Once approved, we release funds directly to your builder.
Throughout the process, you pay interest only on the funds drawn, helping ease cash flow—especially helpful if you’re renting during the build or managing overlapping expenses.

Loans for New Builds

Apply now

Building a brand-new home is a bold and exciting step—and it comes with its own set of financial considerations. FYX Finance offers new build loans that support your project from vacant block to finished keys-in-hand, with lending designed around the unique rhythm of construction.
Whether you’re a first home builder or upgrading to your forever home, our construction finance supports:
  • Funds released in progressive drawdowns at each build stage
  • Suited to first-home builds and house-and-land packages
  • Custom-designed homes on newly acquired land
  • Knockdown rebuilds on existing sites
  • Compatible with Government first home grants
A new home should feel like a fresh start, not a financing maze. FYX Finance helps make the journey clear, calm, and tailored to you.

Renovation Loans & Rebuilding Loans

Apply now

Sometimes it’s not about starting from scratch—it’s about creating something better from what you already have. Our renovation loans and rebuilding loans are tailored for substantial projects that go beyond cosmetic upgrades. Think second stories, extensions, or full knockdown-rebuilds.
These loans follow the same progress payment model and offer:
  • Flexible repayment options during the build
  • Integration with your existing mortgage structure
  • Tailored valuation requirements based on projected outcomes
If you’re an owner-builder, we’ll walk you through what’s needed to qualify. We understand the unique requirements of owner builder mortgages, and we work with lenders who are equipped to assess these applications fairly.

Prefabricated Home Construction Loans

Apply now

Prefabricated homes are a rising trend—and so is the need for flexible finance. At FYX Finance, our prefabricated home construction loans offer staged funding even while your home is being built off-site.
  • Loan funds can be accessed during factory construction
  • Secure lending with land as collateral during off-site phase
  • Clear caps on off-site drawdowns to manage risk
  • Full funding resumes on-site during affixation to land
Our team ensures all drawdowns align with lender and insurance conditions to protect your investment—before and after your prefab arrives on-site.
FYX Finance

Valuation Requirements & Compliance

Before approval, we’ll arrange an ‘as-if-complete’ valuation—assessing your land and completed structure to determine its expected value. This helps both you and the lender understand your loan-to-value ratio, and ensures you’re borrowing responsibly for the scope of work.

Depending on the loan type, we may request:

FYX Finance

A fixed-price building contract

FYX Finance

Council-approved plans

FYX Finance

Builder’s insurance (e.g., public liability and builder’s all-risk)

FYX Finance

Home Warranty Insurance for licensed builders

Let's move forward together

Your loan contract will specify build timelines—typically, construction must begin within 12 months and be completed within 24 months of the first drawdown. We’ll keep your progress on track.
