I have been reading through a lot of topics and comments on here and find the reading very helpful and informative, thank you.
I am a single mother and I am thinking seriously of Owner Building an extension of my existing home in the Illawarra district of NSW.
I haven't had much luck at all with builders quoting the job, most genuine builders are very busy so I opted for a quote on an owner builder job and I think th quote was quite reasonable and the carpenter is very keen and comes with high recommendations.
Firstly I'd like to find out a little bit about what insurances I will need to take out if I decide to Owner Build, I do intend to stay in the property for more than 7 years. approx how much the insurances will cost and who are the best companies to go with.
Secondly who is the best Company to do an Owner Builders Course through, how long does it take, whether it is face to face or online and an approx cost involved as well.
Thanks in advance for your help, hopefully I will be able to get a little clearer vision on whether to go for this or not.
