Your New Construction Step-by-step:

Basic steps to financing the construction of a new home:

• Ask us to help you determine how much home you can afford.
• Select your builder, finalize your plans and write your offer to purchase.
• Apply for and closing your construction to perm loan with Piedmont Federal Bank.
• At closing, Piedmont Federal Bank will add any unpaid balance owed on the lot to your loan.
• We will set up your line of credit that holds the funds needed based on the contract with your builder.
• As your home is built, you/your builder can request up to six draws for payment. Each draw covers only the work completed and materials installed to date based on that draw request.

The Draw Request Process:

We work directly with your builder to draw the funds specified for the work completed.

The bank employs a local company to inspect the construction site to verify that work being requested for payment has been completed.

For the final draw, a copy of the Certificate of Occupancy and a final inspection must be provided. The appraiser for the bank also makes a final inspection and certifies that your home has been completed per the plans and specifications you signed at the time of your application.

The bank will convert your existing line of credit to a permanent loan, set up an escrow account and modify the terms to the loan if necessary.

You are now ready to move in to your new home.
