  Owner Builder

  Project Manager, Builder, Trade Assistant.: I project managed and built our own Home. The works that I could complete were completed in house by myself, and works that could not be down due to certification issues were sub- contracted out for completion. The following management tactics were employed throughout the complete build. Efficient time management skills. OH&S Techniques such as house keeping, PPE and Jobsite inductions for Sub-Contractor site access. Liaising with Suppliers and Manufacturers of various materials that were needed. Conducting Building works such as welding, electrical cable installation, waterproofing and Air-Conditioning works to name a few. The undertaking of owner building my own house was a great experience that was an eye opener to say the least. The amount of work that goes into the organisation of materials, plans, people and permits etc, is very time consuming and in-depth. We obtained our Certificate to Occupy at the end of last year but have only just placed the finishing touches to the property prior to Selling and moving Interstate.
