QLD Owner Builder Course is the mandatory course that all individuals must complete prior to being eligible to apply for a Queensland Owner Builder Permit.


Our nationally accredited owner builder course meets all the educational requirements set out by the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC).



Owner Builder QLD Course


Our online owner builder course meets all the educational requirements set out by the QBCC and includes the following units of competency:

  • CPCCCM1011 – Undertake basic estimation and costing

An Owner Builder is a homeowner who holds a permit and performs the traditional role of a licensed builder, managing construction work that is being carried out on their own residential premises.

As part of the project, an Owner Builder orders materials, engages contractors directly, and manages the whole project in the same way a licensed builder normally would.
