Construction and Building Loans Adelaide
Loan Structures Built Around How Construction Actually Happens
Building a new home or investment property comes with a different lending process to buying an established property. Funds are released in stages as construction progresses, rather than all at once. As experienced construction and building loan brokers in Adelaide, Power of Finance helps you navigate this process from application through to your final drawdown. As one of the local mortgage brokers in Adelaide who understands builder requirements and progressive drawdowns, we're here to keep your build on track financially.

How Construction Loans Work

Progressive Drawdowns
Construction loans are structured differently to a standard home loan. Rather than receiving the full loan amount upfront, funds are released in stages that align with key points in the build, such as the slab, frame, lock-up, fit-out and completion stages.

Interest on Drawn Funds
Generally, interest is charged only on the funds that have been drawn down at each stage, rather than the full approved loan amount, which can help manage cash flow throughout the build.

Stage Inspections
Each drawdown typically requires confirmation that the relevant stage of construction has been completed, often via a valuer or inspection report.
