Private construction lending — for builders, not buyers

Draw-based capital for builders who move fast.

Zentech Holdings funds ground-up spec and custom home construction for professional builders and GCs. Draw-based, experience-underwritten, and built by people who read a schedule of values without blinking.

Built for the builder, not the buyer.

This isn't a consumer mortgage product wearing a construction label. It's underwritten around a business borrower, a build schedule, and an exit — not a paystub.

We fund

  • Ground-up spec homes built to sell
  • Custom homes under contract with an end buyer
  • Fix-and-flip and heavy rehab on residential 1–4 unit
  • Borrowing entities — LLC, S-corp, or similar
  • Builders with a track record of completed projects
  • Infill lots and horizontal-plus-vertical deals

We don't fund

  • Owner-occupied primary residence purchases
  • Consumer refinance or home equity requests
  • First-time builders with no completed projects
  • Loans underwritten on personal income or W-2s
  • Retail HELOCs or renovation loans on a homeowner's own house

SHEET 03FROM SUBMISSION TO SLAB

A closing timeline built around your build schedule.

Underwriting looks at the project and the builder's history — not a debt-to-income ratio.

01

Submit the deal

Purchase contract or land info, plans and specs, budget, and a track record of past projects.

Day 1
02

Underwrite the project

We evaluate the budget, the exit, and your completed-project history — not personal income documentation.

Day 2–4
03

Term sheet issued

Leverage, rate, and draw schedule confirmed in writing before any third-party reports are ordered.

Day 5–7
04

Close & first draw

Acquisition and Draw 1 fund together, so site work starts the week you close.

Week 2
05

Draw on inspection

Request a draw when a phase is complete. Inspected and funded on a short, predictable turnaround.

Ongoing
SHEET 04WHO WE FUND

Three kinds of builders we work with.

The program is the same; the deal shape usually looks like one of these.

Spec Builder

Building on speculation, selling at completion

Runs two or three lots at a time in a market they know well. Needs leverage high enough to keep cash in the next deal and a lender who won't slow the framing crew down waiting on paperwork.

Custom Home Builder

Building for a contracted end buyer

Has a signed construction contract and a client picking finishes. Needs draws that track the AIA-style schedule of values they're already using with their client.

GC / Investor-Builder

Fix-and-flip and heavy rehab on 1–4 unit

Buys distressed or dated properties and rebuilds to sell. Needs a rehab budget funded in draws alongside the acquisition, not a separate renovation loan process.

Send the basics and we'll come back with indicative leverage, pricing, and a draw schedule shaped around your build timeline.

Zentech Holdings provides business-purpose loans to builders, developers, and investors for the construction and rehabilitation of non-owner-occupied residential property. This is not an offer of consumer mortgage credit and loans are not available for the purchase of a primary residence. Terms shown are representative and subject to underwriting.
