Build

Financing designed around the construction, not a finished house.

Talk through draws, the builder, and the lot before you are too far into plans.

A house under construction

This path

Construction files start with plans, specs, builder, and lot, not a finished-house application.

What happens next

Three moves. Then a person.

  1. A house under construction

    01

    Talk before ground-break

    Lot, plans, builder, and timeline all change the loan.

  2. Sitting down together to walk through a mortgage file

    02

    Confirm the structure

    One-time close, or construction then a separate permanent loan.

  3. A finished home, what the construction file is aiming toward

    03

    Keep draws honest

    Inspections and disbursements have to match the build.

A finished home, what the construction file is aiming toward

Build, then live

The loan has to follow the job site.

Draws, inspections, and a plan to convert to a permanent mortgage.

Programs often in play

Options, not a grid of logos.

Construction lending is not available in every scenario. Confirm product availability and licensing with a Hancock loan officer.
