Construction financing is often treated like a variation of a mortgage, but the real risks and outcomes are shaped long before the first dollar is advanced.
This guide explains how construction financing actually works in Canada, beyond surface-level rate discussions or lender lists. Instead of focusing on specific products, it breaks down the mechanics that determine whether a project gets funded, stalls, or finishes strong: borrower strength, project feasibility, draw structures, cost controls, and exit planning.
You’ll see how lenders evaluate unfinished assets, why documentation and sequencing matter more than credit alone, and where projects quietly fail due to budget gaps, weak contractors, or unclear repayment strategies. The guide focuses on what lenders care about, where borrowers get exposed, and how to structure financing that aligns with timelines, risk, and long-term outcomes.
