His comprehensive courses are designed to guide you through the process of obtaining your QBCC Owner Builder Permit and provide practical insights to manage your construction confidently.

Beyond the textbook, our courses offer practical advice, tips, and resources to help you navigate contractor relationships, budgeting, and the building process.
Why Become an Owner Builder
Becoming an Owner Builder gives you the unique opportunity to manage your own building project, whether it’s constructing a new home or taking on a renovation. Here are some reasons why you should consider becoming an Owner Builder:
-
Cost Savings: By taking control of your project, you can significantly reduce costs by avoiding builder’s mark-ups, choosing your own materials, and working with contractors directly.
-
Complete Control: You get to oversee every aspect of your project, from design to completion, ensuring the final outcome meets your exact vision.
-
Personal Satisfaction: There’s nothing quite like the feeling of building or improving your own home. As an Owner Builder, you get to be directly involved in the construction process and witness your plans come to life.
-
Customisation: As the project manager, you have full creative control over the design and finishes, allowing you to customise your build to suit your lifestyle.
However, being an Owner Builder also comes with responsibilities. That’s why Owner Builder Education exists – to guide you through the process, helping you navigate the legal requirements, manage contractors, and avoid costly mistakes. Brian’s courses ensure you are well-prepared for the journey ahead.
