About us
We guide you through the construction loan maze, and make sure you’re better-informed than when you started.
Are construction loans available to owner-builders?
Generally not. Instead, you’ll need to have a contract with a licensed builder.
How can I make sure I'm getting a quality build?
It’s up to you to make sure you’re happy with the quality of construction. You should do regular checks of the workmanship, and if you’re not exactly sure what to look out for, you may want to consider hiring a qualified building expert to check things over before you sign off on payment to the builder.
Will I need a new construction loan if I decide to renovate later on?
No, a construction loan with progressive drawings isn’t always needed – especially if you’re simply looking to make cosmetic changes to the internal rooms of your home.
What's the difference between a fixed price contract and a cost-plus contract?
A fixed price contract is where the builder agrees to complete the construction for a set amount. A cost plus contract is where the builder agrees to complete specific work for a set amount, however the contract contains rise and fall clauses – which means you can be charged for increased labour or supply costs.
