Instead of receiving the entire mortgage amount upfront, the funds are released in stages (called <strong>draws<\/strong>) as the construction progresses.<\/p><p>Each draw helps pay for a specific stage of the build, such as:<\/p><ul><li>Land purchase (in some cases)<br \/>\u2022 Foundation<br \/>\u2022 Framing<br \/>\u2022 Lock-up stage (windows, roof, exterior)<br \/>\u2022 Interior finishing<br \/>\u2022 Final completion<\/li><\/ul><p>This structure allows lenders to safely finance the project while ensuring funds are used as construction progresses.<\/p><p><strong>How does a draw mortgage work?<\/strong><\/p><p>With a draw mortgage, the lender releases funds at predetermined stages of the construction project.
