What is a Construction-to-Permanent Loan?

Construction-to-Permanent Loan

A Construction-to-Permanent Loan is a financing arrangement that transitions from initial building funds to a longer-term repayment structure once the project is complete. It spares borrowers the hassle of two separate loans—one for construction and another for ownership—by bundling them into a single process. During building stages, the borrower draws funds to cover materials and labor, paying only interest on utilized amounts.

Key Points

• One-Time Closing: Minimizes extra legal fees and documentation.
• Interest-Only Phase: Eases cash flow demands while construction progresses.
• Seamless Shift: Converts into standard installments upon project completion.
• Risk Assessment: Lenders evaluate building plans, budgets, and timelines before approval.

By merging these phases into one loan, individuals or enterprises streamline financing, ensuring continuity from blueprint to fully operational asset.
