Lender-ready · CMHC MLI Select

Your lender wants experience on the file. You don't have to give up the project.

CMHC and commercial lenders expect demonstrated multifamily construction and property-management experience before they fund. BUILDiQ joins your project as owner's representative and development/construction manager — you remain the owner-developer.

STEP 1
They secure the land

And carry it while the project takes shape.

STEP 2
They design & apply

Drawings done, application in — the numbers work.

STEP 3
Underwriting pushes back

“Demonstrate multifamily and property-management experience — or engage an experienced builder.”
