Building a House with a CIMB Loan

We are a registered CIMB Bank Berhad panel contractor. Here is what that means in practice for your application — and, honestly, what it does not mean.

Our panel status, stated precisely

RumahHQ is a registered panel contractor with CIMB. In practice, this means our standing as a contractor has been assessed by the bank, and our progress-claim documents already follow the format their branches and disbursement department expect. The result is not an easier approval — it is smoother disbursement once you are approved, with fewer rounds of document corrections.

CIMB has a wide branch network in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, which makes face-to-face dealings easier while preparing documents. For construction financing, make sure you apply for a construction financing product with staged disbursement, not financing to buy a finished house — the two are different and only the first suits building on your own land.

What we do not publish here, and why

We do not publish CIMB's rates, product names or terms. Home financing rates are floating and move with campaigns; we are not the bank's agent; and product information published by third parties goes stale quickly and misleads people who are budgeting. For current terms, see CIMB's official site or your branch.

What we can give you: an eligibility estimate based on the DSR and margin rules that are standard in the industry, with the assumptions stated openly and dated.

The order we recommend

  1. 1

    Check your estimated eligibility

    Before you go to any bank, know your range. It also shows which commitments are worth settling first.

    Check eligibility
  2. 2

    Check your land

    A bank will not approve financing on land that cannot be charged. Category, express conditions and title are checked first.

    Check land
  3. 3

    Get a formal quotation

    The bank needs the contractor's quotation and CIDB registration. We prepare both free, in the format they expect.

    Estimate cost
  4. 4

    Council plan approval

    Approved plans are the document the bank needs before disbursing construction financing. We handle the submission and follow-up.

    Approval process
  5. 5

    Apply with CIMB

    Submit your application with the approved plans, the quotation and your income documents. Ask specifically for a staged construction financing product.

  6. 6

    Build, with staged disbursement

    Work starts. Each stage is verified, we claim, and the bank pays us directly.

    Payment schedule

We are a registered panel contractor

Golden Sharp Innovation (IP0580950-X) is a registered panel contractor with the institutions above. Panel status means our credentials as a contractor have been assessed, and our progress-claim documents follow the format these institutions expect — it is not a guarantee that your financing will be approved, and not an endorsement of our services by them. Approval and terms are determined entirely by LPPSA or the bank concerned. Logos and trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

FAQ — CIMB

Is CIMB's rate better than other banks'?
We do not publish any bank's rates, because home financing rates are floating, depend on current campaigns and can be negotiated based on your credit profile. Any rate we published today could be misleading in three months. Get the current rate directly from the bank — and get more than one offer.
Should I use CIMB because you are on their panel?
Not at all. Our panel status makes the progress-claim process smoother if you choose CIMB, but you are free to use any bank or LPPSA. We receive no commission based on your choice of financing, and our build rate does not change with the bank you choose.
Does panel status mean my approval is guaranteed?
No. Panel status is CIMB Bank Berhad's assessment of RumahHQ as a contractor, not of your application. Approval and terms are decided entirely by the bank based on your income, commitments and credit record. Anyone who promises you financing approval should be doubted.
What is genuinely easier because of panel status?
Three things, all after approval: the contractor's registration does not need assessing from scratch, our progress-claim format is already known, and the stage certificates they need are already a routine part of our process. The effect is faster disbursement and fewer documents sent back.
How does staged disbursement work?
The bank does not release the whole amount at once. Each stage of work is completed and verified by an engineer or supervisor, then we submit a progress claim and the bank pays us directly. You do not hand over cash at each stage. See the staged payment schedule.
How much can I borrow?
It depends on DSR and margin, not on the bank you choose. Our eligibility check gives an estimate using a DSR of 60–70% and a margin of 80–90%, and tells you which rule is limiting you.

We help with the contractor's part

The part of the application that involves the contractor — a detailed quotation, CIDB registration, approved plans, the work schedule and the progress-claim format — is the part we handle. It is free, and it is the part that most often gets documents sent back when handled by a contractor unfamiliar with the bank's process.

The income and credit part is between you and the bank. We can tell you what is usually asked for, and we will not pretend to influence that decision.
