Must of the big banks are not interested in doing residential construction loans for individuals. When making application for a construction loan, be sure to ask the loan officer if they offer a construction to permanent loan, these type of loans will convert from construction loan to permanent loan at the end of the construction and some of them set the permanent rate at the beginning of the construction loan.

3. Find and experienced Home Builder. Selecting an experienced home builder is one of your must crucial steps of the home building process. There are a lots of home builders willing top help you build your dream home, before you hire one, be sure to do the following steps:
   • If you can do a criminal background check, some home builders are know for taking the money of naive home owners and never building anything.
   • Verify that the home home builder has the experience necessary to complete your home.
   • Request copies of the certificate of Insurance, it is very important that the builder carries workers-men compensation and General Liability insurance, this way, if an accident occurs while building your home you are protected. No insurance and accident happens while at you job, home owner is in trouble.
   • Ask at front how the builder is compensated, There are several way a builder gets compensated, here are the 3 most common builders get compensated:

     2. Set amount to build your home, this type of agreement is beneficial to the home owner, because he knows the exact amount he is paying to have his home built. Home Builders also like this method of payment, since the builders is taking all the liability in terms of the cost run ups, the builder sets a very high profit margins to make sure he doesn't loose money while building your home.
     3. Construction Management, this is probably the best method and is beneficial to both the home owner and the builder. In this method of payment, the home builder gives you a set of costs for all items required to build your home and you and the builder agrees an a percentage cost for the builder, it is some what similar to cost plus with one difference, the percentage amount is set at front and it only changes if the scope of work changes by more than 10%.
