If you’ve got previous building experience and tools, become a DIY builder
Feeling confident to tackle your DIY building project? For an exempt development, no mucking around, you can get straight into it. Even if your project is approved, you can still be the DIY builder of your project as the owner-builder. We can help you to sort the red tape if needed.
Your Backyard Pod kit contains everything needed to get to the lock-up stage with your chosen windows and doors. Instructions, step-by-step videos, engineering documentation – even the fixings and sealant for your building are included. We can also provide practical phone support if you get stuck.
Check out the kits for the full list of inclusions and details.
Become an owner-builder and manage your project yourself
Next to being a DIY builder, becoming an owner-builder can save $$$ thousands on construction costs. For property owners with enough time to get quotes and negotiate with tradespeople, it’s a great option. We can help if you need to know what’s involved and how to do it.
We always suggest asking for building quotes “to the lock-up stage” using our kits, so that you can easily compare ‘apples with apples’ between what builders are charging. Once you establish the best price to lock-up for your building, you can choose the best quotes on extras like your internal lining, fittings and fixtures, connections, etc. For example, local suppliers often have hard-to-beat specials and you can shop on eBay, Gumtree, Facebook, etc.
Have a pod-specialist project manager to coordinate your owner-builder project
Enjoy the cost-saving benefits of being an owner-builder with the assurance and convenience of having a pod-specialist project manager, like Rahil, coordinating your trades for you.
