Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common Ground‑Up Construction questions. Terms may vary by market and credit profile.
What projects are eligible?
Infill residential 1–4 units and townhomes. Small multifamily and ADUs may be considered case‑by‑case. Rural properties are generally ineligible.
Can you finance land purchase?

Are permits required at closing?
Yes—approved plans and permits are typically required prior to closing or prior to first draw.
How do construction draws work?
Funds are disbursed in stages after inspections confirm completed work. Turnaround is designed to be quick to minimize delays.
