Ground-up budget
New Construction Calculator
A build has three budgets — land, sticks and bricks, and everything on paper. Add the interest reserve that accrues while you're vertical and you get the real cash the project needs.

Carry & exit
Interest is estimated on an average outstanding balance of about 55% of the loan, since construction funds release by draw as the build progresses rather than all at closing.
Healthy build margin and leverage
Estimates only, based on the numbers you entered. Not a quote, offer, or commitment to lend. Actual terms come from a licensed Capital Partner after underwriting.
Brokers & lenders: these tools are free to share with your own clients — no login, no lead capture.

These calculators use the rate you typed in. A licensed Capital Partner can price your actual file — real rate, real leverage, real cash to close — and tell you what a lender will genuinely do with it.
- 1Ask Sarah — no credit check at allTell her the deal. Nothing is pulled, nothing is dinged. She scores the scenario and finds the right desk.
- 2Soft look at pre-qualificationA Capital Partner can review a self-reported or soft-pull credit range to confirm the program fits. Soft inquiries don't affect your score.
- 3Hard pull only when you say goA hard inquiry happens at formal application, with your written authorization, once you actually want terms issued. Never before.
- 4Come back whenever you're readyWe keep your scenario on file. Get your credit verified next week or next quarter, come back, and we pick up exactly where you left off — no re-typing.
The Capital Connector is a matching network, not a lender or credit bureau. Credit decisions and any inquiries are made by the independent licensed partner you choose to work with.
