🏗️ Building a Home in Southeast Wisconsin? Here’s What to Know About Construction Loans in 2025

Dreaming of a custom home in Waukesha, Brookfield, Oak Creek, or anywhere across Southeast Wisconsin? Whether you’re building from the ground up or finishing a partially built project, financing your construction takes more than just a blueprint - it takes a plan.

I help buyers secure construction-to-permanent financing through Union Home Mortgage, giving you the tools and structure to build smarter and close with confidence.


🔨 What Is a Construction Loan?

A construction loan is a short-term loan that covers the cost of building a new home. Unlike a traditional mortgage, it's designed to fund the build in stages - called "draws" - based on the progress of construction.

At Union Home Mortgage, we offer: ✅ Interest-only payments during construction
One-time close options (no need to refinance later)
Fast draws and coordinated builder relationships
Local underwriting and support to keep things on track

  • People tired of bidding wars and ready to build what they actually want

Whether it's your primary residence, second home, or a home on your own lot, we'll walk through your goals and pick the program that fits.


📍 Construction Lending in Wisconsin: What to Know in 2025

Southeast Wisconsin continues to see demand for new builds, especially in:

  • Brookfield - where existing home inventory is tight
  • Waukesha County - great school districts and acreage options
  • Franklin / Oak Creek - with growing developments and land opportunities

And with interest-only options + smart draw schedules, you can keep your build on budget.

🏡 From Blueprint to Closing Table

Here's how we make it work:

  1. Pre-approval based on your financials and budget
  2. Loan designed to match your builder's timeline
  3. Funds released as construction progresses (draws)
  4. One closing. One lender. Then your permanent loan kicks in.

No need to refinance. No extra surprises.
