The
common formula used to calculate construction loan draws:
1.. First Draw
(Slab/Foundation) 15%. This draw will purchase land if
not owned. If you are doing a rehab loan then your existing mortgage
is paid off at this time. The draw is released at closing. Any
builder "soft costs" such as permits are added to this advance.
Septic and any site work is also included. The loan fees,
attorneys fees, title insurance, etc. are paid at
closing.
2.. Second Draw
(Framing/Rough Carpentry) 10% This draw is released when foundation
is poured. First floor walls and sub flooring in place with exterior
walls sheathed.
3.. Third Draw (Roof/Mechanicals)
20% The draw will include second floor sub flooring and
walls, roof framing, rough plumbing electrical and HVAC inspected,
and any miscellaneous items like garages and pools.
4.. Fourth Draw (Exterior/Interior
Finishes) 20%. The draw includes doors and windows installed,
drywall installed, exterior siding or painting complete
5.. Fifth Draw
(Trim-out) 20%. Draw includes all interior trim,
cabinets, paint and final plumbing HVAC and electrical
6.. Final Draw (Project Closeout)
15% Draw includes all decks and patios, house cleaned. appliances ,
and any landscaping. The final inspection and occupancy permits are
issued.
This schedule may be modified as
determined by local requirements.
Your contractor may complete
construction on a different schedule. Funds can be disbursed for
each item upon
completion.
