A construction loan is usually right if this is you
| YOUR SITUATION | WHY THIS LOAN FITS | GO TO |
|---|---|---|
| You are building rather than buying | The core use, and increasingly common in outer Loudoun and rural Maryland | All purchase loans → |
| You already own the land | Land you hold can often count towards the deposit | Talk to us → |
| You are doing a major renovation | Beyond what a renovation loan covers, this may be the better structure | FHA 203k → |
| You want one closing, not two | Converting automatically avoids a second approval at the worst possible moment | Rate and term → |
| You are buying a new build from a builder | Different structure. Tell us which situation you are in early | Talk to us → |

What a construction file needs
A licensed builder
Approved by the lender. This is usually the longest lead item.
Full plans and a fixed budget
Priced properly. Lenders read this closely and changes mid-build cause delays.
The land
Owned already, or being bought as part of the same transaction.
A credit history the lender can price
Underwritten to the permanent loan standard from the start.
Contingency in the budget
Builds overrun. Lenders expect to see room for it.
Patience
More moving parts than any other file in this silo.
No rates or figures here on purpose. Yours depend on your credit, the county and the program. A licensed loan officer gives you real numbers on the call.
What to watch for, and we will not bury it
Your builder has to be approved too
It is not only you being underwritten. A builder who cannot produce the paperwork will stall the whole file.
Draws follow inspections
Money is released as stages complete, not upfront. Your builder needs to be able to work with that rhythm.
Overruns are the norm, not the exception
Build a contingency into the budget from the start. Adding cost mid-build is slow and sometimes impossible.

What self-builders ask first
How does it become a normal mortgage?
It converts once the build is complete, usually without a second application. That is the main advantage over financing the two stages separately.
Can I use land I already own?
Usually yes, and its value can often count towards your deposit.
Do I choose the builder?
Yes, but the lender has to approve them. Choose someone who has been through the process before.
What if the build costs more than planned?
Build a contingency in from the start. Increasing the loan mid-build is slow and occasionally not possible at all.
Can I act as my own contractor?
Rarely. Most lenders require a licensed builder, and the ones that do not apply far tighter conditions.
Talk through the build before you commit
Tell us about the land, the plans and the builder. We will tell you how it structures, free.
