How Does It Work?
Building is generally completed in several stages. Once a stage is
completed, the builder will issue an invoice.
If the stage has been completed to your satisfaction, you will authorise
us to pay the builder.
This means the loan is drawn down in stages through progressive
payments. The builder will issue you with approximately 5 invoices
during the course of construction.
Prior to making a payment to the builder, we may confirm the works
claimed are completed by way of a valuation (usually with 2nd and the
final progressive payment).
How do I authorise each claim to be paid?
With each builder invoice, you will need to visit the construction site
to confirm that the works claimed are substantially complete.
You will also need to check the amount claimed by your builder against
you building contract payment schedule, to ensure they are not claiming
more than they are due.
If you are satisfied with the claim, send a Progress Payment Authority
form, which will be included in your loan documentation, and the builder’s
invoice to us for payment.
There is a 5-day processing time to respond to the builder’s claim after
we receive the Progress Payment Authority and the builder’s invoice
from you.
When do I have to use my own funds?
When your total building cost is greater than the amount of funds that
the bank is holding in your construction loan account, you will be
required to use your own funds to wards the cost of the building
project (at the commencement of construction)
