Types of Construction Financing

Whether you're building a custom home, developing a multi-family project, or undertaking a major renovation, we connect you with the right construction lender for your project.

Ground-Up Residential

Custom homes, spec builds, single-family and townhome construction. We structure draw schedules aligned with your build phases and connect you with lenders experienced in residential construction.

Spec Home Building

Builder financing for pre-sale and speculative residential construction. We work with lenders who understand the spec build market and offer terms suited to builders and developers.

The Draw Process

How Construction Draws Work

Unlike a standard mortgage where you receive the full loan amount at closing, construction financing is funded in stages called “draws.” Each draw is released as your project reaches pre-defined construction milestones.

This protects both you and the lender. You only pay interest on funds that have been advanced, and the lender verifies that work is progressing on schedule before releasing the next draw.

A qualified inspector visits the site before each draw to confirm the completed work matches the approved construction budget. We coordinate this entire process for you, ensuring draws are released quickly so your project stays on track.
