Differences between a construction loan and a home loan

< Back to Home Loan FAQs

How does a construction loan differ from a home loan?

Unlike home loans, which you typically receive the whole loan amount at settlement, construction loans allows funds to be drawn in stages, as you receive progress payment requests from your builder and tradespeople.
