What does an owner builder do?

You will be responsible for pretty much everything that goes on. This kind of permit is not the same as a building license. An owner builder will have certain skills and expertise in construction.

How do I get a permit for owner-builder projects in Perth?

First, you will have to obtain approval from the building services board. Next, you will get an owner-builder permit from your local government through an online application. To obtain approval, you will have to demonstrate that you have the requisite experience. If you are registered as a building practitioner, then this should be enough for qualification. Keep in mind that a permit is not required if the work done is less than $10,000. Home renovations do not require owner-builder permits. Only residential construction requires such permits.

What are the restrictions of the owner-builder permit?

You can only apply for one owner-builder permit every 6 years in Western Australia. There are some rare exceptions to this rule, namely if the getting a permit for the same area of land as the earlier owner-builder permit. Most applications are processed within 5 weeks, and you may be contacted for additional information. Of course, the permit is only the first step. You then have quite a big job to coordinate!
