The first is your earnest money to lock up the lot, and to show that you are serious about building. The second is the construction deposit. This usually comes after the design process and before construction begins. The final large transactions will be at closing and are called the down payment and closing costs.

Why Do Home Builders Have Preferred Lenders?
