Decoding Construction and Custom Build Financing
Managing progressive draws, builder contracts, and interest-only milestones during custom property builds.
Building a custom dream home or managing a substantial structural infill project requires a completely different financial framework than buying an existing home. Construction financing relies on a sequence of progressive draws, meaning the lender advances funds in milestones as the build passes physical structural inspections.
The 4-Step Strategic Execution
1. Blueprint & Contract Audit
We break down your custom architectural plans, municipal building permits, and your Tarion-registered builder contracts to build a clean operational baseline.
2. Milestone Draw Scheduling
We set up a highly synchronized 3-to-4 stage draw schedule (Excavation, Framing, Drywall, and Completion) to keep your project fully funded without delays.
3. Overhead Interest Control
We negotiate custom interest-only payment structures during the active build phase, keeping your personal monthly cash flow completely safe while construction is ongoing.
4. Completion Rollover
Once the final occupancy permit is signed off by the local municipality, we smoothly transition the construction balance into a standard, low-cost residential term mortgage automatically.
