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.

Slab
Groundwork, plumbing, waterproofing and concrete slab poured
Frame
Walls, roofing framework, windows and essential structure
Lock Up
External walls, doors, and windows installed for security
Fit-Out
Electricals, cabinetry, painting, and internal finishes
Completion
Final clean, handover items, compliance documentation
What Can You Use a Construction Loan for?

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:
A fixed-price building contract
Council-approved plans
Builder’s insurance (e.g., public liability and builder’s all-risk)
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.
