Loan Program Processing

Construction Loan Processing Services | CTC Processing LLC

Construction loans are the most complex file type in residential lending — builder contracts, draw schedules, inspection requirements, and modification-to-permanent conversions all add layers that standard processors aren't equipped to handle. CTC Processing specializes in Colorado construction loan processing.

How we process it

The most common construction loan delay is an incomplete builder approval package. CTC provides a builder documentation checklist at intake and follows up directly with builders — they're not used to being asked for 10 specific documents.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a construction-to-permanent loan?

A construction-to-permanent loan (also called a one-time close) funds construction draws during the build phase, then automatically converts to a permanent mortgage when the CO is issued — one set of closing costs, one closing.

What is a draw schedule?

A draw schedule is the sequence of construction milestone payments — foundation, framing, roof, mechanicals, finish work, and final. Each draw requires an inspection to confirm completion. CTC tracks draws and inspections throughout the build.

How long does a construction loan take to process?

Initial processing for a construction loan takes 30–45 days. The construction phase itself is 6–12 months, followed by a 7–14 day modification-to-permanent process after the CO is issued.
