Building a home or starting a project? As a Construction Financing Broker in Surrey, BC, Shabbir Patel arranges staged construction mortgages that release funds as work is completed, so your build keeps moving and your trades get paid on time.
Construction financing is a mortgage designed for building rather than buying. Instead of one lump sum, the lender releases funds in stages, called draws, as each phase of the project is completed and inspected. This structure protects both you and the lender during a Surrey build.
As your mortgage broker in Surrey, we review your land, budget, plans, builder and timeline, and then match the project to a lender that finances construction across BC. Not every lender does, so the right match matters.
