Building your dream home or undertaking a major renovation is an exciting journey, and understanding the right financial options can make the process smoother. At The Funding Agency, we specialise in providing access to Construction Loan options from banks and lenders across Australia, tailored to meet your unique needs. Whether you’re planning to demolish an existing property for a new build or buying off the plan, our services ensure you have the financial support needed at every step.
When applying for a loan, it’s crucial to consider the interest rate and loan amount that suit your budget and project scope. Construction Loans differ from regular home loans as they are typically structured around progressive drawdowns. This means you only charge interest on the amount drawn down, which can ease cash flow during construction. Our streamlined application process helps you secure the funds necessary for various stages of the project, ensuring you can pay subcontractors like plumbers and electricians promptly.
The process involves several key stages, including ‘as if complete’ valuations and council plans and permits. We understand the importance of adhering to council regulations and ensuring your development application is thorough, especially when dealing with council restrictions on suitable land. Our experts can guide you through understanding Out of Contract Items not included in your Progressive Payment Schedule, ensuring there are no surprises in your financial planning.
The Progressive Drawing Fee is another aspect to be aware of when considering a Construction Loan. As construction progresses, instalments are released based on construction milestones. These progress payments help manage cash flow effectively without overextending your finances. For those interested in interest-only repayment options during the build, we provide advice on managing payments efficiently until the project is complete. This can be particularly beneficial for major home renovations or when commencing building within a set period from the Disclosure Date.
We also assist in making a plan that fits your ideal location and price range. Our expertise includes ensuring all necessary permits and council plans are in place before breaking ground. Moreover, understanding how additional payments may arise during construction will help you maintain budgetary control. Our focus is on helping you achieve your vision, whether it’s a new build or home improvement loan needs.
To ensure a successful build or renovation, it’s vital to engage a registered builder who can manage progress payments and ensure quality work throughout the various stages of the project. Having support from a financial broker like The Funding Agency means you’re never alone in this journey; we’re here to provide clarity and assistance at every step.

Start with a conversation with one of our expert Finance & Mortgage Brokers. We take the time to understand your financial goals and objectives. The broker will look to gain an understanding of your short term and long term plans.
To get started, we’ll request key information and documents such as income statements, bank records, and identification. Our team will guide you through the required paperwork to ensure a smooth process.
We conduct a thorough review of your financial situation like how a bank would. We assess your income, assets, liabilities, spending history and credit history. Based on this, we design a finance plan tailored to your needs, ensuring you maximise your borrowing potential and secure the most suitable loan structure. We will work with you to present the best possible options and discuss how your financial position impacts these options.
Once everything is in place and we have all relevant information and signed application documents, we will submit your loan application to the selected lender. We manage the process end-to-end, liaising with the bank or funder to ensure a seamless experience. We will keep you up to date with emails throughout the journey.
Once your loan is approved, we’ll guide you through the formal documentation process and the relevant steps towards settlement!
As settlement approaches, we coordinate with all relevant parties—your lender, solicitor, and other important parties—to ensure a smooth transaction. Once your loan is settled we will complete relevant checks to ensure that everything has been set up correctly (with your help)
Our relationship doesn’t end at settlement. We provide ongoing support through our **Customer Care Program**, helping you manage repayments, review interest rates, and explore refinancing or investment opportunities as your needs evolve.
