Let's start on your compliance items
You are now ready to start working on your owner builder compliance items. This is part of getting you ready for construction, and it will ensure you and your project are approved to owner build.
We will step you through the requirements for officially becoming an owner builder. The first one is ensuring you complete an owner builder course.
What is the Owner Builder Course?
The Owner Builder Course is a mandatory training program that teaches you the legal, safety, and project management responsibilities of managing your own residential build in NSW. It must be completed before applying for an Owner Builder Permit.
Why this is needed:
This course ensures you understand your legal duties, safety obligations, and the requirements for supervising or managing a residential building project. It’s a key step in gaining approval to act as an Owner Builder and helps protect you and your trades throughout the project.
