Does a construction loan require you to use the banks funds thru the whole process then close at the end?

I have 75% of the funds to build our house. I just need a loan for the remainder 25% of cost. I would rather use my funds as much as possible to save on interest.

Is a construction loan the best process or is there a better loan option to accomplish this?

Typically equity goes in first, then debt.

This should not be a problem. I don't see why a bank would have any issue with it as long as they are the first lien holder on the property.

Equity first then debt. You should be in the clear. Any bank should want to do this deal. Super low risk.

Typically, the bank won't release funds until you request them. You won't owe them anything/accrue interest until you request funds to pay the contractor.
