A construction loan works differently to a standard home loan, and if you haven't been through the process before it can feel overwhelming. There are progress payments to manage, builders to coordinate with, and lender requirements to satisfy at each stage of the build.
The good news is that with the right broker in your corner, most of the complexity is handled for you. I've helped plenty of clients across Bribie Island and Moreton Bay finance their builds, and I know what lenders need, what builders expect, and how to keep everything moving so your project stays on track.
Construction loans are designed to release funds as each stage of the project is completed. The lender usually pays the builder directly once the stage has been inspected and approved.
Better Finance Solutions helps coordinate the lending side of this process. We work with lenders who understand construction finance and can help you prepare the documents needed for approval and progress payments.
We can help with finance options for a range of building projects, including:
Each project type has different lending requirements. Some lenders may be comfortable with certain builds, while others may have stricter policies around contracts, deposits, valuations or project size.
A well-structured construction loan can help support cash flow during the build and reduce delays once work begins. The loan needs to suit the contract, the builder’s payment schedule and the lender’s requirements.
We help you compare options and understand key features such as:
Progress payment process
Interest only repayments during construction
Loan term and repayment structure
Deposit requirements
Valuation requirements
Builder and contract documentation
Lender policy for your project type

Before construction starts, it is worth getting your finance organised early. Your building contract, deposit, loan approval, progress payment schedule and lender requirements all need to line up.
