Construction Mortgage
A construction mortgage is a type of mortgage used to finance the construction of a new home or the renovation of an existing property. This type of mortgage is designed to provide funding for the construction process in stages, with each stage releasing funds as the project progresses.
The lender will typically inspect the construction site and approve each stage of the project before releasing funds. This helps to ensure that the project is on track and that the funds are being used as intended.

Construction Mortgage
Construction mortgages can be either a “draw” or “completion” mortgage. With a draw mortgage, the lender releases funds in stages as the construction progresses. With a completion mortgage, the lender releases the entire amount of the mortgage when the construction is complete.
Construction mortgages generally require a larger down payment than a traditional mortgage for a pre-existing home, and may have higher interest rates and stricter lending criteria. Lenders may also require additional documentation, such as a detailed construction plan and budget, to evaluate the potential risk of the construction project.
It’s important for borrowers to carefully consider the potential risks and benefits of a construction mortgage and to have a clear understanding of the terms and conditions of the mortgage. Working with one of our mortgage brokers who is familiar with the real estate market and construction industry can help borrowers navigate the construction process and find the best mortgage options for their unique situation.
