Construction Loans Perth

Building is exciting — but construction loans have extra moving parts. We manage progress payments, valuations and builder invoices so you stay focused on your dream home.

Progress payments handled

We coordinate draw-downs with your builder, so invoices get paid on time.

Interest-only during build

You only pay interest on drawn funds — keeping repayments low during build.

Converts to standard loan

When the build is complete, we transition you to a standard home loan seamlessly.

How construction loans work

Rather than lending the full amount upfront, the bank releases funds in 5–6 stages: slab, frame, lock-up, fixing, and completion. You only pay interest on what's been drawn — which is much cheaper than a standard loan during build.

What lenders look for

Fixed-price building contract, council-approved plans, builder's licence and insurance. We handle the document checklist so you can focus on tile choices.

Avoiding delays

The #1 cause of delay is valuation. We choose lenders with fast in-house valuers and stay on top of each progress claim so your builder isn't left waiting.

FAQs

Can I use the FHOG to build?

Yes — in WA the First Home Owner Grant is specifically for new homes, which includes knock-down-rebuilds and new builds.

Do I need a bigger deposit to build?

Generally 10–20% of the total (land + build), but guarantor options can reduce this. We'll structure it to your situation.
