When you're ready to bring your dream home to life from the ground up, construction loans are essential. Unlike traditional home loans, construction loans provide short-term financing specifically designed for covering the costs of building a home—from purchasing land to hiring contractors and securing materials.At SouthStar Bank, construction loans are structured to support each stage of your project. Funds are typically released in phases, known as “draws,” aligned with milestones like foundation laying, framing, and final inspection. This ensures builders have access to the funds they need while keeping your project on budget and on time.One of the key benefits of construction loans is the flexibility they offer. You can tailor the loan to your timeline and budget, and in many cases, convert the loan into a permanent mortgage once construction is complete—saving time and closing costs.SouthStar Bank provides personalized support throughout the process, helping you navigate documentation, timelines, and inspections with ease. Whether you're building your forever home or developing a custom investment property, a construction loan can be the perfect foundation.Start strong with the right financial tools in place.
