Construction Loans

Whether it’s a ground up new build or leasehold improvements on a leased space or anything in between, construction projects are complicated — and have a lot of moving parts. It is vital that the components of a construction project are taken care of properly to ensure a successful project. That’s why it is important to have an experienced project team that can include an architect, engineer, general contractor and lender.

Dedicated Experts

At First National Bank Small Business Finance, we have a dedicated Construction Management Team that will not only help educate and prepare you — we will be with you at every step through the completion of your project. Our entire team is available to help you from the very earliest point of planning for your project to advise you and to help ensure your project comes in on time and on budget. Our team has helped manage hundreds of projects worth many millions of dollars, and this experience and knowledge has been very valuable to our past and current clients.
