If your house-to-be appraises for exactly the cost to build, you'll be able to get a loan for 80% of the cost… and you'll need the other 20% in cash. However, with a bank willing to loan 80% of appraised value (NOT just 80% of cost), you can borrow more if the appraised value is higher than the cost to build.
