Construction Loans

Building a home can be stressful. How do you get started? What are the steps in the process? When can I lock in my mortgage interest rate?

When you choose West Gate Bank ® for your home construction financing, our team of experienced lenders will help you through every step in the construction project, helping to protect you and your investment.

Our Residential Construction team provides:

Project Management - We pride ourselves on meticulous and thorough management of your project from start to finish. By having a dedicated Construction Loan Department, your project is in good hands as we monitor the monthly construction draws, conduct on-site inspections, track lien waivers, and reconcile your project budget against the actual spend. If something doesn't look right, we will let you know.
Quick and easy approval process - Once you decide to build your dream home we know you'll want to get started right away! We strive to make the approval process quick and easy so that your build can start as soon as possible.
Responsive service - We're local so you can call, email, or stop by our office any time. We've helped thousands of people make their dreams a reality. We are ready to help answer all of your questions.
Quick turnaround on monthly draws - We will begin to process your construction draw immediately upon receiving it. Your build involves a lot of subcontractors and our goal is to get them paid as quickly as possible to keep your project moving.
Customized lending solutions - Sometimes your financial situation might be as unique as the home you are planning to build. This is where working with a local bank is crucial. We are not a "one-size-fits-all" bank, and can tailor your loan to your specific needs or financial situation.
