    Construction Loans

    Get finance from the people who understand the complexities of the building and construction industry. Our investors want to see you build with their money. We recognise the fluid nature of your industry, tailoring flexible loans to meet specific phases of a build or potential challenges that may occur during the progression of a development.

    Leave less to chance

    Apply for a loan that offers tailored terms that fit the individual requirements of your project. Our loan packages provide flexible features and complex options not provided by most banks.

    Competitive rates

    We offer competitively low-interest terms, including options for fixed term rates, interest resetting, modified repayments during the loan term, early repayment options, and even pre-approved rollovers.

    Tailored, stepped loans

    Lend up to 70% of the “on completion” value net of GST, including funding for the full construction contract amount (including GST, contingency and open space). Progress payments are built into the loan terms to tie in with when funds are needed for different project milestones.
