Building or renovating a home shouldn’t feel like guesswork. The Building Process – The Homeowner’s Guide is a practical, plain-English checklist and toolkit created for Australian homeowners who want to feel informed, organised and in control throughout their build.
Whether you’re working with a builder or stepping into the role of Owner Builder, this guide walks you through every stage – from pre-construction approvals and excavation, right through to final inspections, defects and handover. At each step, you’ll find a clear breakdown of what’s happening on site, which trades are involved, and “Your Role” checklists so you know exactly what to look for, ask and document.
More than just a timeline, this is a working tool you can use on site:
Stage-by-stage breakdowns of the build process – foundations, frame, lock-up, rough-in, fit-out, bathrooms, external works and more.
Homeowner checklists for every stage so you can literally tick tasks off as you go.
Practical templates to log decisions, variations, inspections, issues and defects.
30 pages of insightful step by step guidance for every stage and checklists to help you along the journey.
Use it to understand what’s coming next, as a checklist to stay across the details, and as a record to protect your budget, timeline and peace of mind.
If you’re planning to build or renovate and want to go from “I hope it’s all on track” to “I know exactly where we’re up to and what happens next” – this guide is for you.
