CONSTRUCTION FINANCING

Ground Up Construction Loans

Ground up construction loans help finance a project from land or pre-development through construction draws, completion, and the planned exit into sale, refinance, or long-term permanent financing.

What Is A Ground Up Construction Loan?

Construction financing is structured around project milestones. Funds are typically released through draw schedules as work is completed and inspected. Because the collateral is changing during the project, lenders pay close attention to planning, budget control, contractor strength, permits, and exit strategy.

Common Uses

  • New commercial building construction.
  • Major rehabilitation or redevelopment projects.
  • Land plus vertical construction plans.
  • Projects with staged draws and completion timelines.

What Lenders Review

Lenders may review plans, budgets, permits, contractor agreements, borrower experience, equity, contingency reserves, appraisal, environmental items, title, insurance, and the permanent financing or sale plan.
