What is it
Development and construction financing is specifically designed to spread expenditure over the different phases of a construction project, in order to manage the financial burden on the builder or real estate developer. The goal is to gradually release the necessary funds as the project progresses, so that the costs don’t have to be paid all at once. Construction financing often includes mechanisms to manage risk for the lender, such as engaging independent inspectors to monitor project progress and confirm that financing requirements are being met. After completion of construction, the loan can sometimes be converted into investment financing.
