Securing finance for a planned construction project could be a daunting task, whether working on a commercial construction project, a self-build or a home extension.

All borrowers may not fit into mainstream lenders' credit criteria. However, at Aus Wealth, we can also arrange alternative funding solutions to suit individual circumstances and requirements. We have helped many independent property developers or owner-builders who acknowledge the need for an alternative approach to secure flexible, fuss-free funding for construction projects. We will guide you through all you need to know about construction finance and address critical concerns and frequently asked questions, exploring the advantages and drawbacks.

What is a construction loan?  

Generally referred to as a construction or owner-builder loan, the type of finance is usually a short-term, secured loan used to pay for the construction cost of the building project. The type of property can include residential, commercial, or industrial buildings.

A construction loan provides funds to pay a licensed builder or to finance an owner-builder project throughout each stage of your building or renovation project. Significantly, the loan amount is based on the expenses needed to complete the construction and is not based on the property value at the end of the project. Therefore, construction loans/owner-builder loans operate very differently from standard home loans. Construction or owner-builder loans typically charge interest-only repayments for the construction period or duration of the build and are traditionally fixed at 12-18 months. 

Banks and finance companies also offer home construction loans for consumers looking to construct their residential home property . Lenders provide home construction loans to both existing and new borrowers. Most lenders offer this facility through their traditional home loan products.
