CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION LOANS

Building or renovating a home involves more complex finance than a standard loan. At Plum Home Loan, we structure construction and renovation loans around your timeline and budget, managing lender requirements so you can build with confidence.

How Construction & Renovation Loans Work

Unlike traditional home loans, construction and renovation loans are released in stages, known as progress payments. Funds are drawn down at key milestones throughout the build, such as slab, frame, lock-up, and completion.

We guide you through:

  • How progress payments are structured
  • What inspections are required at each stage
  • How and when funds are released
  • Interest and repayment considerations during construction

Our team ensures you fully understand the process before construction begins, helping you avoid surprises and delays.

Planning for

Your Future

We don’t just look at the build — we consider what comes next. Whether your plan is to live in the property long-term, upgrade later, or turn it into an investment, we help structure your loan with flexibility for the future.

“As first home buyers, we felt overwhelmed at the start, but Plum Home Loan made everything clear and easy to understand. They guided us through pre-approval, explained every option patiently, and supported us right through to settlement. We couldn’t have asked for better advice or service.”
