Your success is our success
From a Niche Need to an Industry Leader
Since our inception, Builders Capital has been driven by one mission: empowering developers and builders to achieve their ambitions. With a foundation rooted in expertise and innovation, we’ve become a trusted partner for some of the nation’s most successful projects.
How It Started
Builders Capital was formed in 2009 initially as a funding partner to a single high-volume home builder. As Builders Capital grew it began to fill a crucial gap in the lending industry: providing developers with fast, reliable capital that banks and traditional lenders couldn’t match. By focusing on the unique needs of development projects, Builders Capital quickly established itself as a trusted partner for those building the future of housing.
How We Got Here
Over the years, Builders Capital has grown into a leading private construction lender, driven by innovation and an unwavering commitment to its customers. By introducing tailored loan products and providing exclusive benefits, Builders Capital has redefined efficiency and flexibility in the lending space. Our dedication to exceptional service, combined with expertise in the construction industry, has earned us the trust of countless developers and brokers across the nation.
Where We’re Going
Builders Capital is shaping the future of construction lending by investing in scalable solutions, enhancing technology, and expanding our reach. We aim to empower even more developers with streamlined financing options and innovative programs that make building easier. Our focus remains on being the premier partner for developers and brokers, helping them turn visions into thriving communities.
With an eye on the horizon, Builders Capital is committed to driving the growth of the housing market and supporting the success of our clients.
Our Values
Our leadership team.
Builders Capital is proud to have one of the region’s most successful builders on our Founders Team. Mr. Trent was recognized in 2010 by the Puget Sound Business Journal for creating one of the “100 Fastest Growing Private Companies in Washington State.” Mr. Trent, a highly successful entrepreneur, founded SDC Homes at the onset of the “credit crisis” in 2007. Through innovation, experience and sheer determination, Mr. Trent developed a business model that took SDC Homes to one of the top three homebuilders in Washington State by 2010. Resulting from innovation, SDC Homes was extremely profitable, garnering the interest of several national homebuilders. In the spring of 2011, Mr. Trent accepted a bid for his company from a U.S. “Top 10” builder. Mr. Trent has returned to the world of private investment and currently plays a strategic role with Builders Capital.
As the company’s Founder, Curt Altig brings a deep passion for the home building industry to everything he touches at Builders Capital. His two decades as an executive with respected major mortgage bankers prepared him well for the launch of Builders Capital in 2009.
Mr. Altig has assembled and inspired a world class leadership team devoted to helping our home builder clients succeed at every level. His current leadership goals are the deliberate and successful launches in new markets, as well as creating new products and services that can reduce risks and increase profitability of clients in all sectors of home building.
Mr. Altig is a current board member of Liberty Road Foundation and a graduate of the University of Washington.
