At Pivotal Financial Solutions, we understand that embarking on a construction project, whether major home renovations or a new build, is a significant step. Our expertise in construction loans enables clients in Queensland, and across Australia to confidently access construction loan options from banks and lenders nationwide. Construction loans are designed to support your project at various stages, ensuring you only pay for what you use through a progressive drawdown approach. This allows you to manage costs efficiently while realising your vision for the ideal location within your price range.
When considering a construction loan, understanding the interest rate and loan amount is crucial. Our streamlined application process makes applying for a loan straightforward, ensuring you have all the necessary information at your fingertips. We guide you through interest-only repayment options, allowing you to pay interest solely on the amount drawn down. This financial flexibility is beneficial as you navigate progressive payments at each stage of construction—from council plans and permits to construction milestones and paying sub-contractors like plumbers and electricians.
A unique feature of construction loans is the Progressive Payment Schedule. This schedule aligns with the ‘as if complete’ valuation, ensuring funds are distributed according to the project's various stages. As each milestone is reached, progress payments are made to the registered builder, who in turn manages payments to sub-contractors. This ensures that everyone involved in the project is compensated appropriately, from those laying the foundations to those managing the final touches.
It’s essential to make a plan that accounts for potential additional payments such as Out of Contract Items not included in the initial agreement. These might arise as you progress through your project, whether you’re buying off the plan or considering demolishing an existing property. We help you consider council restrictions and regulations, development applications, and sourcing suitable land. All these factors need careful attention to commence building within a set period from the Disclosure Date. Understanding these elements ensures that your project progresses smoothly and stays within your anticipated timeline and budget.
Choosing the right loan option also involves considering any Progressive Drawing Fee that might be applicable. This fee is linked to the loan’s progressive drawdown feature, making it a vital component of your financial planning. By being aware of all associated costs and regulations, you can ensure your project remains on track without unexpected financial surprises.
Our goal at Pivotal Financial Solutions is to make this process as transparent and stress-free as possible. We strive to give our clients the knowledge and tools they need to successfully manage their construction projects. Whether you’re planning home improvements or embarking on a large-scale development, our team is here to assist every step of the way.
We invite you to reach out to Pivotal Financial Solutions today to explore how our expertise in construction loans can contribute to the success of your project. Let us help you turn your dream into reality with financial options tailored to your needs. Our commitment is to support your vision with reliable advice and exceptional service every step of the way.

Anthony was absolutely amazing while assisting us in purchasing our 3rd property. His professionalism and knowledge made our journey less stressful and without his help, this purchase would not have been possible. I would highly recommend Anthony and his team and look forward to working with him next year. We wouldn't go anywhere else.

The time came for me to consider my home loan rates and Anthony assisted with finding the top options for my requirements. I’m very happy with my choice- the rate is great and the lender has been very helpful and attentive. Thanks Anthony it was a smooth and seamless transition to the new loan!
To process your home loan application effectively, Pivotal Financial Solutions requires comprehensive documentation to present to lenders. This typically includes recent payslips, tax returns, bank statements covering several months, and details of any existing debts or financial commitments. If you're self-employed, additional documentation such as business financial statements and accountant-prepared income summaries may be necessary. We also need identification documents, details about the property you're purchasing or refinancing, and information about your employment history. Our team will provide you with a detailed checklist specific to your situation and guide you through gathering the required documentation to ensure your application is complete and compelling to potential lenders.
Pivotal Financial Solutions provides comprehensive commercial and investment property financing services to clients across Australia. Our commercial lending expertise covers business purchases, equipment finance, development projects, and working capital facilities. For investment properties, we structure loans that optimise tax benefits while managing cash flow requirements. We understand the unique assessments applied to investment lending, including rental income calculations, negative gearing implications, and serviceability across multiple properties. Our team works with specialist commercial lenders who understand business financials and investment strategies. We assist in preparing applications that highlight the viability of your investment or business proposition, presenting your case in the most favourable manner to appropriate lenders within our network.
Pivotal Financial Solutions operates as a comprehensive finance and mortgage broker, serving clients throughout Sherwood, Queensland, and nationally across Australia. Our services encompass home loans for first-time buyers and existing homeowners, investment property financing, commercial lending solutions, and refinancing options. We work with a diverse network of lenders to secure suitable finance solutions tailored to your specific circumstances. Our team also provides ongoing support throughout the application process, from initial consultation through to settlement. Whether you're purchasing your first home, expanding your investment portfolio, or seeking to restructure existing debt, our experienced brokers are equipped to assist with various financial requirements.
Pivotal Financial Solutions employs a systematic approach to matching clients with appropriate lenders based on multiple factors specific to your circumstances. We analyse your income type, employment history, credit profile, deposit amount, and property details against each lender's specific criteria. Different lenders specialise in various market segments - some favour first-time buyers, others focus on high-net-worth clients, and some specialise in self-employed borrowers. We also consider loan features important to you, such as offset accounts, redraw facilities, or fixed-rate options. Our experience with each lender's assessment processes, turnaround times, and approval rates informs our recommendations. This comprehensive matching process maximises your probability of approval while securing terms that align with your financial objectives and circumstances.
Pivotal Financial Solutions operates on a commission structure whereby we receive payment from the lenders when your loan settles successfully. This means that for most standard home loan applications, there are no upfront fees payable by clients. Our remuneration comes from the financial institutions within our lending panel, allowing us to provide our professional services without direct cost to you. However, for certain specialised services or complex commercial applications, specific fee arrangements may apply, which we would discuss and agree upon before proceeding. We maintain complete transparency about our fee structure and any potential costs, ensuring you understand all financial implications before engaging our services. This approach aligns our interests with yours - we succeed when you secure suitable financing.
The timeline for mortgage applications can vary significantly depending on several factors including lender requirements, property type, and the completeness of your documentation. Generally, once we submit your application to a lender, you can expect initial approval or decline within 5-10 business days. However, more complex applications or those requiring additional verification may take longer. The settlement process typically occurs 6-8 weeks after formal approval, though this can be shorter or longer based on contractual arrangements. At Pivotal Financial Solutions, we work diligently to expedite the process while ensuring all requirements are met. We maintain regular communication throughout, providing updates and addressing any issues promptly to minimise delays.
Refinancing represents a significant area of expertise for Pivotal Financial Solutions. We assist clients in evaluating their current loan arrangements against available market options to determine potential savings and benefits. This process involves analysing your existing interest rate, loan features, fees, and repayment structure against alternative products from our panel of lenders. Refinancing can potentially reduce monthly repayments, access equity for other purposes, consolidate debts, or switch from variable to fixed rates. Our team conducts a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis, considering exit fees from your current lender and establishment costs for new facilities. We handle the entire refinancing process, coordinating between your existing and new lenders to ensure a smooth transition.
Pivotal Financial Solutions maintains relationships with clients beyond the initial loan settlement, recognising that financial needs evolve over time. We provide ongoing review services to ensure your loan continues to meet your requirements and remains competitive within the current market. This includes monitoring interest rate movements, new product releases, and changes to lending criteria that might benefit your situation. We're available to assist with loan variations, additional borrowing requirements, or refinancing opportunities as they arise. Many clients return to us for subsequent property purchases, investment loans, or when major life changes affect their financial circumstances. Our ongoing support reflects our commitment to building long-term relationships and ensuring your financial arrangements continue to serve your evolving needs effectively.
When you work with Pivotal Financial Solutions, you gain access to multiple lenders through a single point of contact, rather than visiting numerous banks individually. Our brokers maintain relationships with major banks, credit unions, and specialist lenders, providing you with a broader range of options than typically available through one institution. We handle the research, comparison, and application processes on your behalf, saving considerable time and effort. Additionally, our expertise allows us to identify loan products that align with your financial situation and goals. We can often negotiate terms and rates that may not be readily available to individual applicants, while providing ongoing support throughout the entire loan process.
If a lender declines your application, Pivotal Financial Solutions doesn't consider this the end of the process. We immediately review the reasons for decline and assess alternative options within our lending panel. Different lenders have varying criteria and risk appetites, so a decline from one institution doesn't preclude approval elsewhere. We analyse the specific concerns raised and determine whether additional documentation, a different loan structure, or an alternative lender might achieve a successful outcome. Our team may recommend waiting to strengthen your application through improved savings, reduced debts, or extended employment history. Throughout this process, we provide clear communication about your options and realistic timeframes. Our extensive lender relationships often allow us to find solutions even in challenging situations.
