Frequently Asked Questions

What situations qualify as a stalled project?

Projects stalled due to builder failure, insolvency, cost overruns, funding gaps, or disputes may qualify for completion capital.

Can you fund behind an existing lender?

Yes, we can provide first mortgage (refinancing existing debt) or second mortgage positions depending on the situation.

How is cost to complete assessed?

An independent Quantity Surveyor prepares a cost-to-complete report, which forms the basis of our funding assessment.

What if the builder has failed?

We work with borrowers to appoint a replacement builder. The new builder must be approved and provide a fixed-price or GMP contract.
