Yes, Banks Now Fund Modular. If Structured Right.
Lenders have opened prefab construction pathways — with progress payments available before the home is fixed to your land. The catch: your manufacturer, contract and payment schedule have to fit their rules. That's what we structure.
Why Modular Finance Used to Fail — and What Changed
The Old Problem
Construction loans traditionally release funds only against physical works fixed to your land. A home being built inside a factory 200km away? The bank couldn't verify it as security, so they wouldn't pay. Buyers faced huge cash deposits or expensive bridging debt.
What Changed Now
Major Australian lenders now run assessed-manufacturer programs. Use a panel-approved manufacturer with a compliant modular contract structure, and progress payments — up to 80% of the build contract in some programs — can flow during the factory build before the home is transported.
The Implication: Manufacturer choice and contract structure are now finance decisions. Get them wrong, and the cheapest quote becomes the most expensive project.
How Progress Payments Flow on a Prefab Pathway
A typical staged release mapping for bank compliance during off-site builds.
1. Contract & Deposit
Compliant build contract signed and deposit released for factory scheduling.
2. Factory Milestones
Drawdowns released at frame and fit-out stages upon independent inspection.
3. Delivery & Install
Major drawdown on landing, followed by final handover after connection.
