Frequently Asked Questions
Construction loan draws are funds you request from your loan during the building process. At closing, funds are distributed to cover the land and closing costs. The remaining loan amount becomes available as “draws” for construction-related expenses. The best part? You only pay interest on the amount you’ve drawn, not the full loan amount.
Interest accrues on the funds you’ve drawn and is billed monthly. Payments can be made in person, via debit or credit card, or by mailing a check to:

An inspector visits your property monthly to track progress. Draws should align with the percentage of project completion. For example, if 45% of the project is complete, 45% of the loan funds should have been draw, within a 5% tolerance. If there’s a mismatch beyond this range, draws will pause until everything aligns.
It’s simple! Email draws@firstservicebank.com with the amount and purpose of your request. Once approved, funds will be deposited into your construction checking account within 24 hours. Please note that the minimum request is $200, and only one request can be made per day.
