Avoid the pitfalls of owner building and successfully build your own home!
An Owner Builder is a person who constructs or renovates a domestic dwelling on his or her own land and who is not already a registered builder.
Owner Builders (or Self Builders) gain great satisfaction out of building their own home by having more control over the quality and materials used in their new home. Owner Builders can save up to 20% to 30% in registered builder’s commission fees. However being responsible for building your own home can be challenging, complicated and involves taking on significant legal and financial risks & responsibilities.
The Owner Builder Course is designed to introduce you to the domestic construction process as well as the process of becoming an owner builder, your duties & responsibilities under the law, plus the pro’s and con’s of building your own home.
Get a real life insight into the process of owner building your own home in Western Australia.
