Note, I haven't been, but I have some peers, so will relay what I can remember, briefly:Understand the type of construction loan you're getting (standalone vs. all-in-one) and the payment structure.Work closely with your builder to stay on schedule.Prepare to budget for unexpected costs by including contingency funds.Ensure your financial documents and credit are in good shape for loan approval (varies with lender).Many people underestimate costs or miss important details in planning, which can lead to delays, budget overruns, and loan issues.I hope this helps, a bit.
