We'll help you fund your new build or renovation

Embarking on the journey to create your dream home or to undertake significant renovation works can prove to be a complex endeavour, particularly when it comes to understanding and securing the right construction loan for your project. Rizon Finance stands ready as your dedicated ally, guiding you through this intricate landscape with professionalism and precision. Our thorough knowledge of the construction loan market throughout Australia positions us uniquely to offer you bespoke loan solutions that are perfectly aligned with both your project requirements and financial standing.

Construction loans are distinctively structured for individuals intent on building new homes or undertaking substantial renovations. These loans differ from traditional lending options in that funds are dispensed in stages or drawdowns, correlating directly with each phase of your construction process. This progressive payment system means that interest is only charged on the portion of the loan you have utilized at any given time, rather than the entire loan sum upfront. This strategic financing method aids in better cash flow management during the build and often includes the possibility of interest-only repayments, alleviating some of the financial pressures typically associated with construction projects.

Choosing Rizon Finance as your partner for navigating construction loan procurement brings numerous advantages. Our robust network of banks and lending institutions across Australia guarantees that you’ll have access to competitive interest rates and loan allocations that meet your specific project needs. Whether you’re clearing an existing property to pave the way for your new residence, engaging in ambitious home improvements, or purchasing off the plan, our dedicated team is fully equipped to support you.

Our streamlined application process is carefully designed to demystify and simplify the construction loan application journey. From compiling essential documentation such as council permissions and plans, to meticulously planning out your Progressive Payment Schedule, our approach is clear and straightforward. Our expertise ensures that all intricate financial details, whether you’re a tradesperson directly involved in the build or you’re coordinating with registered builders and subcontractors, are comprehensively managed.

A pivotal service we provide is the 'as if complete' valuation. This critical assessment projects the finished value of your construction, ensuring that loan increments or additional funding is precisely aligned with your build’s progression. This guarantees the correct financial safeguards are in place for your investment.

Rizon Finance distinguishes itself not merely through our financial acumen but also our unwavering commitment to supporting our clients at every construction phase. From initial consultations that help fine-tune your plans and budget considerations, to specific details such as managing Progressive Drawing Fees and adhering to building commencement timelines, we are here to ensure your project stays firmly on track towards achieving your financial and building aspirations.

In conclusion, if you seek a partner adept at navigating the complexities of construction loans, Rizon Finance is your premier choice. Our blend of comprehensive loan options, competitive financing rates, and personalised, expertly-guided application process positions us as the optimum partner for your forthcoming building venture.
