Hello Owner Builder in the ACT 🙂

Welcome to The Owner Builder Club – here to simplify the process for you!

Are you wondering where to begin in the owner builder process?

Maybe you need help deciding if owner building is even for you?

If you're at the very early stage, it's now you need to think through some really key areas, like…

• can you afford to be an owner builder
• how will you finance an owner build
• how does financing an owner build differ from a normal build?
• what does your schedule look like?
• how will you structure your day/time
• what skills do you have to contribute to the build?

If you need help answering these questions, CLICK HERE to find out more about our short online course that by the end, will have you going confidently in the right direction for YOU.

In the ACT, owner builders must be licensed, that means you need to complete an owner builder course in order to be granted a license.

A LITTLE EXTRA…

If you're right at the start of the process, an excellent starting point is always with your local Council (see link below) because you need to know local Council approvals e.g. Development Application, Planning Approval.

• When the licence is issued, you'll need to apply for a ‘Commencement Notice' with a building certifier before you can start building.
• The work can only start once the certifier has issued the Commencement Notice.
