Certificate of consent

In Victoria there is a requirement for you to get permission to be able to become an owner builder if you are not already a registered building practitioner. To do this you will need to download the owner builder kit from the building commission website. (there is a link on the right of this page).

Once you have filled out the form you submit it to the commission with the processing fee and they will then asses the submission. You will need a copy of the title that you can get from the title office or www.land.vic.gov.au you need to be aware when applying for both the certificate of consent and for your building permit you need to make sure that the copy of title has to be recent not older than about 100 days but you need to check these requirements.

During this whole process its best to have gone to see a building surveyor which is the person that issues the building permit, and its helpful if they are a user friendly to help guide you through this process.
