Environmentally Sound Construction

Not all houses are made of brick & tile; owner builders can and do build homes from other materials with better insulation properties.

Straw Bale

Have you considered straw bale? It's surprisingly strong, very thermally efficient, and even has excellent sound dampening properties as well.

Rammed Earth

What about rammed earth? This has the advantage of high load bearing strength (up to three storeys) and superb insulation - we've heard reports that rammed earth homes maintain a constant inner temperature almost 365 days a year.

Green Roof

No room for a garden? Why not put the garden on your roof! What else were you going to use that space for :)

Your House Your Way

Being an owner builder, you have the unique opportunity to do something different, which suits you. Not everyone wants to build a 4x2 brick and tile house in the suburbs - there's nothing stopping you from being creative and coming up with something unique.

Choose Your Builder Carefully

Adam Weaver  adam@allrisk.com.au 25-03-2018 Talk to your builder It sounds obvious, but not all builders are the same; most are highly skilled, experienced, and competent, and some are ... not . Sadly, in insurance, we hear horror stories more often than not; usually when it's too late to do anything about the choice of builder. Ask questions Are you a licensed builder? Quite a few "builders" are actually carpenters and other trades, and whilst they may have loads of experience in the particular trade, are  less  experienced in budgeting and time management skills. For how long have you had your license ?  Do you have any completed projects we can view? Any client references? Don't be embarrassed to ask, you'd think that a good builder would be proud of his past work and his past clients would give him a good review. What other work do you have on the go? Realistically, most builders will be working on more than one job at any ...

How Much Does Owner Builder Insurance Cost Victoria

In most owner builder insurance, the exact area to be covered or secured depends on what kind of package or product you take out. It is necessary to specify them with proper assistance from the company’s expert. It is also important to choose the right company for your property protection. The first thing you must do is learn about their terms and policies through checking their websites or calling them through the phone. In some places of Australia, companies provide service but with hidden charges. This is not the case all the time but it happens even here in Victoria.

Owner Builder Insurance Cost

In some parts of Australia, you can never totally rely on a certain insurance company. In choosing the right one, you would really need to dig deep for its background first before you should decide to work with it. This is tough for  owner builders   because it could consume a lot of time and they have no other option but to do this. In many cases, companies hire incompetent tradespeople who fail to deliver a decent service. Some of them cannot even secure insurance because of lack of legitimacy. That is why sometimes,  the license  becomes meaningless. It cannot assure credibility anymore. It is unfortunate but many Australians have ignored this fact. This has been happening in the insurance industry for how many decades. Until now, you can still find corrupt companies trying to take advantage of other people’s weakness and vulnerability. It is now time we should address this issue for the sake of other future clients. In Australia, thousands of builder...
