Owner Builders-Sydney

Hi,

Anyone owner building currently in Sydney.
Would love to be in touch and exchange any valuable contacts/information.

Hi Jacky10
Start with proper preliminary drawings, engineering, data,cost and quants
Then firm up the above
I like the artists analogy include information/Data
Frame-> sketch->broad brush strokes-> fill in finer details-> and keep within the parameters...
There are tools and appsb4ubuild @ google that automates the whole process . goodluck

Hi Jacky10, I've been doing owner builder insurance for over ten years, if you need any help with that. Most of my clients are in Sydney.

Hi

Ignore my ignorance please tell me what did you meant by "aapsb4ubuild".

Any specific aap you are referring to ?

I am currently shopping around.

How can i contact you for a reasonable quote ?

I generate apps to suit your project b4Ubuild they are geared towards the Battlers & Punters projects
Start with 3D Building Information Modelling (BIM) the connection to the internet of things (IoT) is Python

Hi Jackie10, which part of Sydney are you building in and how far along are you? I'm in Belrose and just have my DA approved.

Hi

I am still in drawings stage.
And looking to build in Riverstone in north west Sydney.

Hi,
I am looking to build around Wentworthville area. Would love to be in touch and share knowledge and experience

Is it a new build or reno, budget & have you progressed from the sketch stage?

I'm also going to be doing a OB in Riverstone. I have plans before BCC and I'm currently work throught the Engineers objections.

Hey peeps, how are you guys going with your build? I am planning to do an OB duplex in Schofields but sitting on the edge on taking the first step. How has your experience been so far? I have very little experience with building and construction and not sure if I am biting more than I can chew!

Hmm. Those numbers look overly optimistic.

In addition to drafting/architectural drawings you would have to pay for:

- Contour survey
- Structural engineering (usually $2K+)
- Geotech
- Stormwater engineering
- BASIX assessment
- (optionally) arborist report and landscaping plan
- Council DA fees and long service levy (depends on council, but expect around $5K for both)
- Private certifier ($2.5K+)

So expect up to $15K of additional expenses before you are even allowed to dig (obtain your construction certificate).

Sure, but my main point here is that the costs will be still adding up.
BTW have some questions to you regarding current fair value costs in Sydney, asked them in the neighbouring "Slab and formwork costs" topic. Thanks

Hi all,
I am starting to do a owner builder and have had the architect plans done and organised a private certifier. So far it has cost over $13K for all the plans engineer BASIX etc. My certifier says he needs the Owner/Builder permit to put on the NOI form but I cannot get the permit from fair trading until approval has been given? So what do we do? I thought the idea of going through a certifier was so I did not have to go through council to get a DA. Would love to hear how everyone else got theirs.
Thanks

Your certifier is talking about construction certificate (CC).

But before CC you would need to receive DA or CDC first, which do not require owner builder permit, but do require council approval.

You can get a owner builder certificate with a DA number... you don't need an approved DA.
