Building Loans Without the Headaches
Construction loans work differently to standard home loans and the differences matter. If you’re planning a build, construction finance in Forster needs to be structured around your contract, your build timeline, and the way lenders release funds. At Into Finance Lending Solutions, we guide you through that process from the start, so you know what’s required before the first invoice lands.
Most construction loans are paid out in stages (often called progress payments), with the lender releasing funds as each milestone is completed and verified. You generally only pay interest on the amount drawn so far, not the full approved limit, which can help manage cash flow during the build. To avoid delays, lenders usually need a fixed price building contract, detailed plans, council approvals and builder quotes upfront. We help you line all of that up clearly, then keep the finance moving as your build progresses.

Progress Payments Made Simple
Once you’re approved, the key to a smooth build is understanding how drawdowns actually work. With Into Finance Lending Solutions, you’ll know what each stage means, what the bank needs to see, and how to keep payments flowing without friction.
Progress payments are typically released at set milestones such as slab, frame, lock up, fixing and completion, after your builder invoices and the lender confirms the work is done. Timing matters here because builders rely on those payments to stay on schedule and delays often come from missing paperwork or unclear costings. We stay involved throughout the build phase, helping you respond quickly to lender requests, explaining variations if your build changes, and keeping you aware of your available funds at each step.
Whether you’re building your first home or managing a more complex project, our job is to make the finance side feel steady and predictable while you focus on the build itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is a construction loan different from a regular home loan?
Instead of receiving the full amount at settlement, construction loans are released in stages as building progresses. You’re usually charged interest only on what’s been drawn to date during construction.
What documents do lenders typically need for construction finance?
Most lenders require a signed fixed price building contract, council approved plans, builder insurance details, a progress payment schedule and your standard income and expense documents.
What are progress payments and why do banks use them?
Progress payments are staged releases to your builder after each construction milestone is completed and verified. Banks use them to match funding to completed work and reduce risk for everyone involved.
