Construction lending and credit administration: Principles, policies, and practices

Most bankers acknowledge that construction lending is riskier than other types of commercial lending. Therefore, lenders must learn how to evaluate a developer’s ability to repay the construction loan and apply the appropriate underwriting of the construction project to ensure the structure of the loan results in it being repaid in full, on time, and as agreed.
