subject: Thinking Of Building Your Own House In Australia? [print this page] It feels great thinking about building your own house. Many people in Australia are interested in building their own house. These people are known as owner builders. The owner builder NSW is very much in fashion these days and for that you need to go for a white card course. Read more about all these things in this article.
An Owner Builder or a Home Building Service offers building services to you to help you in completing the construction of your new house by offering services that you may not find and they are difficult to arrange and manage by you. An owner builder NSW has to follow these steps to build their own house. The execution of all these steps should be smooth and the start of one depends on the finish of the previous task. First of all you must get a building permit which has to be approved by local government authorities. Without this permit, you cannot begin to construct your house. Various other permits and inspections will be carried out by local authorities during the construction process. After that comes laying the foundation of the house. Foundation has to be super strong and could be slab, block or pillar type, for which your land needs to be dug. You have to consider all the geographical conditions of the land on which you are constructing your house.
After that an owner builder needs to work on the framework for doors, windows and walls. After that you have to go for siding installation, roofing and electrical and plumbing works, without which you cannot think of living in your house. After this step, all you have to care about is flooring, interior finishing and painting your house. After that if you are looking for a ground or lawn outside your house, then you have to get on with landscaping and the final touches of the house would be done by an interior decorator. But before going for all this, you have to take a white card course, which would be issued to you by a registered training organisation. This training organisation will certify you that you have taken a course for being a owner builder NSW and are fit for building your own house. The course includes identifying and avoiding hazards at the workplace where you are taught to be vigilant, and how to work with speed and accuracy of identifying and also you are taught to deal with hazards. Without this white card, you would not be allowed to make your own house and even if you tried and got caught then you are entitled for heavy fines.
