Questions
Will you run my build for me?
No. You stay the owner-builder. Coaching is advice and inspections: help to make the calls, not someone to make them for you.
What can I bring to a session?
Anything about your build: plans, quotes, trade contracts, your programme, a variation, a defect, an inspection coming up.
Do I need building experience?
No. Everything starts with what an owner-builder is responsible for and builds up stage by stage. If you have renovated before, you will move faster.
Is this the government owner-builder test?
No. That's a free online assessment run by the Building and Plumbing Commission, and you'll still need to pass it yourself. This is about running the build.
Is it accredited?
No. It's independent. It isn't accredited, and it isn't affiliated with or approved by the Building and Plumbing Commission.
How do I pay?
There's nothing to pay to talk to us. After your call, a A$200 deposit holds your place and the rest is paid before you start. On a crash course, pay your deposit within 72 hours of your call and get a free 30-minute review of your plans and budget. See the course terms for the details.
What if it turns out not to be for me?
