Owner-builder guidance
Take control—without overlooking the rules.
CodePoint brings practical construction knowledge and approval expertise to owner-builders who value preparation, workmanship and sound documentation.
Before you commit
Owner-builder is a legal role, not just a way to manage trades.
Every owner-builder project has its own technical and approval risks. We help establish a sound pathway, coordinate the right documentation and maintain quality through inspection and completion.
Before work starts, confirm the permit, required consultants, inspection stages and approved construction documents.
If you intend to undertake domestic building work on land you own and the value of the work is more than $20,000, then you will need a certificate of consent from the BPC.
Core responsibilities
Your project. Your obligations.
Strong preparation, capable consultants and disciplined records protect both the work and the final approval.
- Engage appropriately qualified designers, engineers and specialist consultants.
- Build to coordinated, approved documents and keep them available on site.
- Prepare each mandatory stage properly before requesting an inspection.
- Refer proposed variations for review before they are incorporated into the work.
- Maintain quality records, certificates and completion evidence throughout the project.
