Assessing a self-build<\/h3>
<\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

At the heart of every self-build file is the project assessment. Appraisal fees are the borrower\u2019s responsibility, as are any progress assessment fees along the way. Keep in mind that all assessments must be conducted by appraisers designated by the caisse.<\/p>\n

The appraiser will require the construction plan, cost breakdown, contractor quotes, and either the land purchase offer or the deed of sale if you already own the property.<\/p>\n

Disbursements are released gradually as work progresses; accordingly, our appraiser will inspect your build at each financing stage. Each disbursement amount is then calculated based on the percentage of work completed.<\/p>\n

For more information, get in touch with Marie-Jo\u00eblle Thibault, our dedicated self-build advisor!<\/p>\n

*The self-build procedures and rates described are subject to change without prior notice. Please reach out to your advisor with any questions.<\/p>\n
