Owner Builder Program

Owner Builder Readiness Program

For owner builders navigating the DA or CDC approval system.

Why owner builders choose us

We see the problems before they happen.

We save you time, money, and help you avoid the mistakes that come from doing this for the first time.

Organising an architect is usually the easy part — you might even get some consultants coordinated along the way. But making sure the whole process runs smoothly is a different job entirely. It's sequencing the right consultants at the right time. It's finding people who actually care about your project, not just their piece of it. And it's knowing how to lodge and manage the application itself — the part most owner builders have never done before, and don't find out how complex it is until they're already in it.

This isn't about capability. It's about experience — and that's exactly where we come in. Once you're working with us, you're not carrying it alone. Every dollar you put in buys peace of mind, knowing someone with real experience is watching your project.

Find out what your project actually needs.

How we help

From a free call to full support.

We start with a free call — no cost, no pressure — to explain how the process actually works and what it looks like for a project like yours.

If it makes sense to go further, the next step is a paid project review — whether you're starting from scratch or already have plans from your architect. We assess what's possible, the right approval pathway, and the obstacles ahead, and give you a clear indicative cost. If you proceed, the cost of your review comes off your overall price.

Once you go ahead, we stay with you — coordinating your consultants, keeping everything on track and in the right order, and making sure your application is complete and compliant before it goes anywhere near council. Want it fully handled? We can lodge and manage the application through to approval too.

Common questions

Wherever you are in the process.

I've already started — can you still help? +
Yes. Whether you're just starting out or already partway through, we can step in at whatever stage you're at.
My application wasn't accepted — what now? +
This is usually a lodgement issue, not a rejection of your project. We can look at the comments and help you work out why, and what to do next.
My application was refused — what now? +
This happens more than people think, and it's not the end of the road. We can look at why it was rejected and help you work out the best way forward — whether that's a Section 8.2 Review, a Section 4.55 modification, or reconsidering the approach entirely. We'll help you understand the fastest, most cost-effective path from here.
