Our Construction & Builder Financing Services

From deposit schedule to closing table

Pre-Construction Mortgages

Pre-construction purchases run on extended timelines, staged deposits, and evolving costs. We help you see the full path from day one, so closing isn’t a surprise.

How we support pre-construction buyers and investors:

  • Clarify the full cost picture
    We break down deposits, interim occupancy (if applicable), adjustments, and estimated closing costs in simple terms.
  • Plan for closing well in advance
    Together we build a savings and cash-flow plan so your down payment and closing funds are ready when the property completes.
  • Prepare for future qualification
    We review your income, credit, and debt now and highlight what needs to stay stable—or improve—before final approval time.
  • Explore rate and product options at the right time
    As completion approaches, we help you choose a mortgage structure that fits your long-term plans, not just today’s headlines.

The goal: when your pre-construction home is ready, your financing is ready too—without scrambling.

Financing tailored to the realities of building

Builder & Development Financing

Each project has its own rhythm: land costs, trades, permits, draws, and an exit strategy. We help align your financing to that rhythm, so cash flow supports the work instead of slowing it down.

How we support builders, developers, and project-focused investors:

  • Project review with a lender’s lens
    We look at your budget, timelines, and plans the way lenders will, identifying strengths and red flags early.
  • Match you with appropriate lender types
    Depending on your project and profile, that could include institutional, alternative, or, where appropriate, specialized construction lenders.
  • Design practical draw schedules
    We help structure funding tied to key milestones so you can pay trades and suppliers on time while avoiding unnecessary interest.
  • Stress-test your numbers
    We walk through “what if” scenarios—cost overruns, delays, or market shifts—so you’re not caught off guard.
  • Plan for your exit or next stage
    Whether you’ll sell, refinance into long-term hold financing, or roll into the next project, we help map the path ahead.

You focus on the build quality. We help make sure the financing structure can support it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is construction or builder financing different from a regular mortgage?

It’s usually advanced in stages (draws) based on construction progress, not as one lump sum on closing.

As early as possible—ideally before you lock in budgets, timelines, or major contracts.

Final financing is typically needed closer to completion, but planning deposits, qualification, and future payments should start early.

In many cases, yes. We can review your existing setup and see if restructuring or alternative options are available.

No. We work with individual custom builders, emerging developers, and investors stepping into their first or second project.
