Construction Loan
Building your dream home or taking on a construction project is an exciting journey—but it can also feel overwhelming. At eZee Mortgages, we specialise in making the process simple and stress-free with a tailored construction loan designed to meet your needs.
Whether you’re constructing a new home, renovating, or developing an investment property, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
What Is a Construction Loan?
A construction loan is a short-term loan designed to fund the building or renovation of a property. Unlike traditional home loans, funds are typically released in stages (called progress payments) to align with your project’s progress.
Key features of construction loans include:
• Staged Payments: Funds are released at key milestones, such as laying the foundation or completing the roof.
• Interest Only During Construction: You’ll typically only pay interest on the amount drawn down during the construction phase.

How Do Construction Loans Work?
1. Approval
We’ll help you get pre-approved for a construction loan by assessing your financial situation and reviewing your project plans, builder’s contract, and cost estimates.
2. Progress Payments
Funds are released in stages to match your project’s progress:
Deposit: Initial payment to secure your builder.
Slab Stage: When the foundation is laid.
Frame Stage: After the framework is complete.
Lock-Up Stage: Once external doors and windows are installed.
Fit-Out Stage: When internal fixtures and fittings are added.
Completion Stage: Final payment when the project is finished.
3. Transition to a Standard Loan
Once construction is complete, your loan transitions to a standard home loan, where you’ll begin making regular principal and interest repayments.
Benefits of a Construction Loan

Tips for a Smooth Construction Loan Process

Have a Detailed Budget: Ensure your building plans and cost estimates are accurate and realistic.
Plan for Unexpected Costs: Keep a contingency fund to cover any unforeseen expenses.
Communicate Regularly: Stay in touch with your lender and builder to keep your project on track.
