Construction Home Loan

Draw down funds in stages as your new home is being built

Our Residential Construction Home Loan is a flexible loan that’s designed specifically to help you build your new home. This means that loan funds are advanced progressively and only as your builder satisfactorily completes previously agreed construction stages. This saves you money, as interest is payable only on the amount advanced under the loan. We can help you establish a schedule of progress payments and organise your expenditures so that they are made only after each stage of the building has been inspected and verified. To help us determine the final cost of your property you will need to supply construction cost estimates (tenders, costs and quotes from your builder); council approved plans and specifications, including any conditions of approval; and written details of any work to be carried out by you, your family, friends or subcontractors.

  • Access to funds when you need them
  • Improve cost-efficiency of your project by establishing a schedule of payments to builders
