What Is a Construction Loan?
A construction loan is a short-term mortgage used to finance the cost of building a property rather than buying a completed one. In Canada, most construction loans are structured with draws — where funds are advanced in stages as construction progresses.
We help coordinate:
- Lot purchase + construction financing
- Draw schedules based on inspection milestones
- Interest-only payments during construction
- Seamless transition to a long-term mortgage upon completion
Licensed for both owner-built and builder-managed projects.

Construction Draw Process (Simplified)
We guide you through a typical 5-draw construction financing structure:
- Land Draw – Funds for land purchase (if applicable)
- Foundation Draw – Once excavation and foundation are complete
- Lock-Up Draw – Once the building is closed in (windows, doors, roofing)
- Drywall Draw – Interior completion in progress
- Completion Draw – Final stage and occupancy
We help coordinate appraisals, lender inspections, and legal disbursements throughout the process — keeping everything on track.
Who Qualifies for a Construction Loan?
Each lender has unique criteria, but generally:
- You must own or be purchasing the land
- You’ll need construction plans, permits, and a cost breakdown
- A qualified builder or trades must be involved (if not self-building)
- You may need 20%–25% equity upfront
- Good credit and verifiable income improve approval odds
We work with banks, alternative lenders, and private lenders to match you with the right solution — even for unique or non-conventional projects.

FAQs – Construction Loans in Canada
Construction mortgages release funds in stages (draws) rather than a lump sum. You may only pay interest on what’s drawn until construction is complete.
Not always — we can help you secure bundled land + build financing if you’re purchasing the land and building from scratch.
Typically 20%–25% of the total build cost (land + construction). Private options may allow more flexibility.
Yes. We work with lenders who support new builders, as long as you have a solid project plan and experienced trades.
