Construction Mortgages

Cambridge provides individuals and commercial enterprises with construction financing to complete renovation and/or development projects. The funds will be granted in installments throughout the various stages of the build – known as “progress draws”. Inspectors review the building progress, prior to subsequent draws. We offer flexible draw schedule options.

Frequently Asked Questions

We ensure that clients have the opportunity to access funds with our adaptable lending guidelines. For construction loans, we offer flexible draw schedule options and can assist with more than three draws, if required.

Every development project is different, but in general, the loan pays for the land, plans, permits, fees, labour and materials, closing costs, contingency reserves (in case the project costs more than estimated) and interest reserves. Coverage will vary depending on your client’s financial status and plan.

Choosing construction financing over a line of credit or other lending options offers distinct benefits. These include more flexible terms than traditional loans, smaller monthly payments, the option of being interest-only during construction and the possibility of one-time close, saving you fees.

Despite sizable growth in the industry, property development still is considered high-risk by many traditional lending institutions. Individuals that have poor credit history might not be able to obtain the necessary funds for their development. Alternative lenders, like Cambridge, can provide construction mortgages to those that need them, offering flexible terms and conditions so they can build their dream property in an affordable manner.
