There are a number of requirements that you need to meet before you get on site to start construction as a home builder in Victoria.

You may have opted to go down the owner builder path for a number of reasons. For many, saving money is one of the key factors. The basis of any successful project is to track, as closely as possible, to the original home building budget so you don’t find yourself short at the end.

Know your Home Building Limits

For most owner builders, it can be fun & exciting researching & sourcing products for fixtures & fittings. However, when it comes to structural items such as roof, cladding, frame timber, bricklaying or concrete, not all owner builders have the knowledge or expertise to produce accurate bill of quantities. This puts doubt on how realistic your cost estimates are for those items. Then, getting quotes for those items is another task where you may have limited knowledge or know how.
