Question about new home loan

A quick summary of the situation. I work in construction and a homeowner told me today that his loan expires on December 1st so he was curious if we were still on schedule to finish before then. It sounded weird to me cause he's already taken draws out for the land and work completed already. I asked him what would happen if we encountered a delay that went passed that and he said he didn't know, but was making it seem as if the bank would cancel the loan. I don't see us going past that date, but since he brought it up it has me curious. It's a family business and I've only been here a couple months so I still don't have the answers for a lot of things. I'm trying to find out what's going on without having to ask anyone for help and google isn't doing me any favors.

Im curious what % of the total bill has he already paid you for the work completed?

I'm not sure the exact amount cause I don't oversee all the finances, but my guess would be between 50-60%

No idea, but maybe the construction loan has a sunset on it when it converts to a traditional mortgage?

This. Or he has a 90-day lock on the mortgage rate that expires on December 1.

This was my guess

Construction loans are short term loans, usually in 6-12 month intervals. He have to call lender and get an extension. This will typically cost him money. All draws will be put on hold by the bank. Unless he's making a ton of changes finish the house on time.

Both my possibilities have been said. He either locked his rate or has a 6mo loan. Don't worry, those are banker rules that they are happy to bend for a $$$ fee.

Yep. My bet is OP's client has already said he's not paying to extend loan
