How construction-to-permanent loans work

01

Choose Your Builder

Select from our network of trusted Lowcountry builders or bring your own. We work with custom homes, spec builds, and major renovations.

02

One Loan, One Closing

You get a single loan that covers both construction and permanent financing. No duplicate closings, no double fees, no hassle.

03

Draws During Construction

Funds are drawn in stages as construction progresses. You only pay interest on the amount drawn, not the full loan amount.

04

Automatic Conversion

Once construction completes, your loan automatically converts to permanent financing. No re-qualification, no new closing.

Interest-Only During Build

Only pay interest on funds drawn during construction. Lock your rate upfront and avoid market volatility.

Rate Protection

Lock your permanent rate before construction begins. Don't worry about rate increases while building your home.

Flexible Draws

Draw funds as needed with professional inspection releases. Transparent process keeps your builder on track.

Construction loan questions

A construction-to-permanent loan (also called a single-close loan) covers both the construction phase and permanent financing in one loan. A construction-only loan is short-term and requires refinancing or a new loan when construction ends, which means duplicate closing costs and additional underwriting.
