OWNER BUILDING: SOME RESOURCES

I completed an Owner Building Course today and now feeling armed with much of the knowledge and know how about how to most effectively administer a building site.

I Strongly recommended that anyone interest in pursing this path do an owner builders course as there is a lot to learn about all the legalities of manging a building project.


My course was through Owner Building Solutions www.ownerbuilding.com.au.
