Home construction financing

Building a home involves more planning than buying an established property. We help you understand how construction lending generally works and what lenders may need before funds are released.

Overview

Construction loans are usually structured differently from standard home loans. Funds are commonly released in stages as building work progresses, and lenders typically require building plans, a fixed-price contract and approvals before lending.

We help you understand these requirements early, so your building plans and your financing can progress together.

Who this may suit

  • Owners building a new home on land they hold
  • Buyers purchasing land to build on
  • Owners planning a major extension or renovation
  • People who want guidance on construction lending steps

Common eligibility considerations

Each lender sets its own criteria. Considerations commonly include:

  • Income and ability to service the loan during and after construction
  • Land ownership and title type
  • A builder’s contract, plans and cost estimates
  • Required building and council approvals
  • Deposit, equity and any contingency funds

Documents that may be requested

The exact list depends on the lender and your circumstances. We will confirm what applies to you.

  • Photo identification and proof of income
  • Land title documents
  • Building contract, plans and specifications
  • Builder details and quotations
  • Relevant approvals and permits

How the process works

  1. Submit an enquiry about your building plans
  2. Discuss your project, budget and timeline
  3. Prepare land, builder and income documents
  4. Explore construction financing options
  5. Proceed through lender assessment, staged payments and completion, where applicable
