Self-building, step by step<\/h3>
<\/div>[vc_row_inner el_class=”bloc-etape”][vc_column_inner]

STEP 1 :<\/h4>[vc_column_text el_class=”float-left last-element”]<\/p>\n

Your self-build project is assessed by a certified appraiser appointed by the caisse.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=”bloc-etape”][vc_column_inner]

STEP 2 :<\/h4>[vc_column_text el_class=”float-left last-element”]<\/p>\n

The caisse works with you to determine your financing amount, to update your file, and to review your financing request.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=”bloc-etape”][vc_column_inner]

STEP 3 :<\/h4>[vc_column_text el_class=”float-left last-element”]<\/p>\n

Following approval of your file by the caisse, the documents are sent to the notary for you to sign.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=”bloc-etape”][vc_column_inner]

STEP 4 :<\/h4>[vc_column_text el_class=”float-left last-element”]<\/p>\n

The notary forwards the preliminary disbursement notice to us, requesting the amount due for the land purchase\u2014or nothing if the land is already yours.<\/p>\n

Once construction is ready to begin and you have submitted the building permit and construction site insurance, members who own their land outright will receive 100% of its value if it is debt-free*.<\/p>\n

Your down payment must be applied first and deposited into your caisse account before the notary receives their instructions.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=”bloc-etape”][vc_column_inner]

STEP 5 :<\/h4>[vc_column_text el_class=”float-left last-element”]<\/p>\n

When your financial reserve is nearly depleted, all you need to do is reach out to your advisor to initiate the disbursements.<\/p>\n

An appraiser is brought in to evaluate how the work is progressing, and upon receiving the progress report, we release funds gradually as work is completed.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=”bloc-etape”][vc_column_inner]

STEP 6 :<\/h4>[vc_column_text el_class=”float-left last-element”]<\/p>\n

When construction wraps up, the certified appraiser conducts a final inspection and submits their report to us. A 35-day waiting period must then pass before the last disbursement is released and the file is finalized*.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=”bloc-etape”][vc_column_inner]

STEP 7 :<\/h4>[vc_column_text el_class=”float-left last-element”]<\/p>\n

If the certificate of location is already available, now is the time to forward it to the notary.<\/p>\n
