FAQs

Which loan is best to build a house?

Most lenders don't want to offer traditional loans to those wanting to build their own property, for this, they will offer a construction loan.Fundli’s brokers will guide you to the right loan.

What is a construction loan?

A construction loan is a type of home loan designed specifically for borrowers who are building or renovating a property, rather than purchasing an existing one. Typically, these loans have shorter terms and offer interest-only payments during the construction phase, transitioning to a standard mortgage once the build is complete.

How do construction loans work?

These loans provide funds to pay your licensed builder in stages, aligning with the completion of specific parts of your renovation. These payments, known as ‘progressive drawdowns’ or ‘progress payments,’ are released as your construction project advances, rather than in a single lump sum. As each stage of work is completed, you receive an installment of the loan, ensuring that you have the financial support needed as the build progresses.

Can I get a construction loan as a first home buyer?

Absolutely. Many first home buyers on the Sunshine Coast choose to build rather than buy established. At Fundli, we help you access first home buyer benefits and structure construction loans with deposits as low as 5% (subject to lender approval and Lenders Mortgage Insurance). We'll guide you through the entire process from land purchase to practical completion.

What's the difference between a construction loan and a standard home loan?

A standard home loan provides the full amount upfront to purchase an existing property. A construction loan releases funds progressively as your build reaches key stages (base, frame, lock-up, fixing, completion). You only pay interest on the amount drawn down at each stage, which can save you money during the build. Once construction is complete, the loan typically converts to a standard home loan.

How long does construction loan approval take?

Approval timeframes vary by lender, but typically take 5-10 business days once we submit a complete application with your building contract, plans, and financial documents. At Fundli, we pre-qualify your application and work with lenders who understand construction finance, which speeds up the process considerably.

Can I use a construction loan for renovations?

Yes. Construction loans aren't just for new builds, they're also ideal for major renovations, extensions, or knock-down rebuilds. If you're looking to refinance and access equity for renovations, we can structure that too.

Do I need to own land before applying for a construction loan?

Not necessarily. We can arrange land and construction packages that finance both the land purchase and the build in one loan. This is common for buyers purchasing house-and-land packages or vacant blocks on the Sunshine Coast.
