These mortgages are designed to ease your home-building process – right from land acquisition to project completion. Let us negotiate with our vast network of lenders on your behalf to get the perfect construction financing solution for you.
Types of Construction Mortgages We Offer
Construction financing in BC is a vital financial tool for individuals & companies looking to build new homes or renovate existing ones. These mortgages are specifically designed to provide funding throughout the construction process, ensuring that builders have access to the necessary funds at each stage of the project. Keeping the unique needs of the borrowers in mind, we offer the following mortgage options:
Construction-to-Permanent Mortgage
Also known as “all-in-one” or “single-close” mortgages, this type of loan combines the construction loan and the permanent mortgage into a single loan. Borrowers only need to apply and pay closing costs once, simplifying the process and potentially saving money.
Progress Draw Mortgage
With a progress draw mortgage, funds are released in increments, or “draws,” as construction progresses. The borrower submits invoices or receipts for completed work to the lender, who then releases funds to cover those expenses. This type of mortgage helps ensure that builders have access to the necessary funds at each stage of the project. Here is a general breakdown of payment disbursements of this mortgage:
Completion Mortgage
A completion mortgage is similar to a progress draw mortgage, but funds are released only after the construction is fully completed and inspected. If your builder is covering all the construction costs upfront and you need to reimburse them once the project is completed and handed over to you, this mortgage can be a great option.
Owner-Builder Construction Finance
This type of mortgage is designed for individuals who want to act as their own general contractor or builder. Owner-builder mortgages provide financing for both the land and the construction costs, allowing homeowners to oversee the building process themselves.
Renovation Mortgage
While not strictly a construction loan, renovation mortgages are used to finance major home improvements or renovations. These mortgages can be used to purchase a property in need of renovation or to refinance an existing property and cover the cost of renovations.
| Draw Stage | Required Building Completion | Construction Stage | % of Total Mortgage Amount Advanced |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Draw (Optional) | 15% complete | Excavation and foundation complete | 15% |
| 2nd Draw | 40% complete | Rooftop is on, the building is weather-protected (i.e. airtight, access secured) | 25% |
| 3rd Draw | 65% complete | Plumbing and wiring is started, plaster/ drywall is complete, furnace installed, exterior wall cladding complete, etc. | 20% |
| 4th Draw | 65% complete | Kitchen cupboards installed, bathroom completed, doors have been hung, etc. | 20% |
| 5th Draw | 100% complete | Ready for occupancy with seasonal and exterior work completed | 15% |
