When applying for a loan for construction purposes, it is important to consider how the loan is structured. Construction Loans are unique as they allow for a progressive drawdown, meaning you only pay interest on the amount drawn down at each stage of construction. This is particularly beneficial as it helps manage costs effectively. The loan amount is typically released in instalments through a Progressive Payment Schedule, aligning with various stages of the project such as when council plans have been approved or when sub-contractors like plumbers and electricians need to be paid. This approach ensures that funds are available when needed, while also keeping the overall interest rate manageable.
Choosing the right loan means considering interest-only repayment options during the construction phase. This flexibility allows you to minimise financial pressure until your project is complete. It is essential to factor in additional payments for Out of Contract Items not included in the original budget as these can impact your overall financial plan. Furthermore, an ‘as if complete’ valuation can provide insight into the expected value once construction milestones are achieved, giving you an idea of potential equity growth.
For those planning to demolish an existing property or commence building within a set period from the Disclosure Date, having a clear strategy is crucial. Make a plan that takes into account your ideal location, price range, and any council restrictions or regulations that may affect your development application for suitable land. Understanding these elements will help streamline the application process and ensure you are prepared for any challenges that may arise.

What is a construction loan?
A construction loan is a loan designed for building projects. Instead of releasing all funds upfront, the lender usually releases money in stages as the build progresses.
What are progress payments?
Progress payments are staged payments made by the lender to the builder at key milestones such as slab, frame, lock up, fit out and completion.
Do I pay interest on the full loan amount straight away?
Usually not. In many construction loan structures, interest is charged only on the funds that have been drawn at each stage, rather than the full approved limit from day one.
Can I use a construction loan for a knockdown rebuild?
Yes. Many lenders offer construction finance for knockdown rebuilds, although the valuation, contract and overall project structure will influence the available options.
What documents are needed for a construction loan?
Lenders commonly require plans, specifications, a fixed price building contract, council approvals where relevant, proof of land ownership or purchase, and your standard income and financial documents.
What happens if the build costs increase?
Cost increases or variations can create pressure if there is no buffer in place. This is why it is important to understand the total project cost and keep contingency funds available where possible.
Can I refinance a construction loan?
In some circumstances, yes. Refinancing may be possible during or after the build, depending on stage, valuation and lender policy.
