Construction times are blowing out across the country, driven by labour shortages and supply delays. This isn’t just a builder issue—it’s a finance issue. Without smart planning, projects risk budget blowouts or stalled timelines.
- HIA reports show construction workforce shortages exceeding 83,000 trades
- Average build time for detached dwellings is now over 10 months
- Flexible funding and stage-payment planning are essential for risk mitigation
Master Builders Australia and HIA confirm that the top 12 trades required for housing delivery face major shortages, leading to longer lead times and budget fluctuations. Project finance with rigid terms can delay builds or leave clients exposed.
Infinite Finance specialises in construction finance that works with project realities—not against them. We build contingency buffers, flexible drawdowns, and lender timelines that align with real-world conditions.
