Construction lending sits in a narrower market than conventional mortgages. Fewer lenders write these loans, and most require a strong builder relationship or a portfolio lender.
SRK CAPITAL shops construction loans across its wholesale lender network to find programs that fit your builder and timeline. Underwriting takes longer because the lender must inspect the property at each draw stage.

Construction loans make strong sense in Dublin when you've found the right lot and builder. At $1,199,999 median price, new construction can compete with resale homes on timeline and cost.
The real advantage comes when you want to control the build quality and finishes. You lock in your rate structure early and avoid bidding wars.
05
Construction loans differ from conventional purchases in one key way: you're financing the build, not the finished home. A conventional mortgage closes on an existing property; a construction loan funds in stages and converts to permanent financing.
During construction, you typically pay interest-only on the drawn amount. Once the loan converts, your payment includes principal and interest on the full loan amount.
