The VA Builder ID policy has been updated to show that it’s no longer required for a standard VA Construction Loan. Previously, becoming a VA‑approved builder was simple but still an extra step — the general contractor just had to watch a set of videos and pass a basic certification. It wasn’t difficult, but it did take time and energy that most contractors don’t really have. Now, VA‑approved builder status isn’t needed at all. A licensed, bonded, and insured general contractor with real experience is enough to meet current industry standards. The downside is that with this lower barrier to entry, builders get even less information about the full VA construction process. That’s where the VA Construction Guild consultants come in to help guide through the entire process so no one is left guessing.

One-Time Close (OTC) VA construction loan basically means in simple terms: It is an interest hold-back loan that accrues interest over the time of building. It should not be a balloon arm that would be infringing on the VA policy of guarantee to back the loan. During loan infancy this type of loan needs more preparation (the construction packet) and during full inception of the loan when the building is complete, the loan a VA-loan and no longer a VA-Construction loan. This meaning there is no refinance into a new type of loan, it is also not a bridge loan.
