Financing Your Arched Cabin: Construction Loans & Hearth Options

Building your dream Arched Cabin home is an exciting milestone — and one of the most important steps in the process is figuring out how to finance it. Whether you’re creating a cozy cabin retreat or a spacious family home, understanding your construction loan options (and alternatives like Hearth financing) will help you get started with confidence.

What Is a Construction Loan?

Most Arched Cabins customers use a construction loan to fund their build. These are short-term loans designed specifically for building a home. Unlike a traditional mortgage that gives you the entire amount upfront, construction loans release funds in stages as your build progresses. This structure helps keep projects organized and ensures funds are available when key milestones are met.

How a Construction Loan Works

  1. Apply with plans and details: You’ll submit your building plans, budget, and builder’s contract.
  2. Lender review: The lender evaluates your credit, project costs, and the future value of your completed home.
  3. Funds released in ‘draws’: The lender disburses funds in stages as you reach milestones such as foundation, framing, and interior work.
  4. Interest-only payments: You pay interest only on the funds that have been drawn.
  5. Convert or refinance: Once your Arched Cabin is complete, the loan can convert into a traditional mortgage (a construction-to-permanent loan) or be refinanced into a standard home loan.

Popular Types of Construction Loans

Depending on your goals and builder arrangement, here are the main types of construction loans to consider:

  1. Construction-to-Permanent Loan
    • Automatically converts into a mortgage after the home is completed.
    • Only one closing, which saves time and fees.
  2. Construction-Only Loan
    • Short-term financing (usually 12–18 months).
    • Requires a separate mortgage once the build is finished.
  3. Owner-Builder Loan
    • For those acting as their own general contractor.
    • Harder to qualify for, as lenders prefer licensed builders.

What You’ll Typically Need to Qualify

  • Detailed building plans and a realistic construction timeline
  • A licensed builder and signed contract
  • A complete cost breakdown and project budget
  • Good credit (typically 680 or higher)
  • A down payment of around 20–25%
