AU Australia property term
Construction Loan
Australia-wide
Plain-English definition
A home loan designed to fund construction, usually released in stages as specified building milestones are reached.
Why this matters to a foreign buyer
Align the lender's draw schedule with the building contract's progress payments and keep funds for variations and shortfalls. Approval of finance does not prove the builder's work is complete or defect-free.
