It’s pretty simple but sometimes it can get confusing.

The bank will have a “paper appraisal” done on the plans and the lot. This combined appraisal will be used as the basis upfront. Your loan will be limited to 85% of this value.

It’ll be divided up into 4 or 5 withdrawals.

If you don’t need to use it all, great. If you spend out of pocket to reduce loan amount, that works too.

Ultimately, at the end of construction, however much you have withdrawn from the bank will be what your final loan amount is. You’ll then finance this amount at the final interest rate/etc. depending on if you have a one-time close or not.
