As for the deposit amount, it entirely depends on the builder. My builder asked for 15% deposit, when I chose completion mortgage. That's the norm. Other builders may ask less, as a promotion tactic.
If your bank offers you a mortgage of 80% of the house value, you have to take another 15% out of your pocket. (If the appraisal value was less than your purchase price, you need to have even more cash in hand for completion)

If your downpayment is 5 %, you have to pay all the 5 % to landmark one time. If your downpayment is 20%, you can pay to them in three times. The deposit will include in the first payment.

当房子建到35%,银行给第一次draw是有条件的,银行给客户律师的instruction是要先把lot转到客户名下,银行才会给钱,这样即使建筑商造一半造不下去或跑了,客户起码有一块地在名下, 加上Alberta New Home Warranty 可以保证客户的deposit, 这样也就最大程度的降低了风险.
