Owner-Builder Costs

An important part of acquiring an owner-builder permit is the process of cost estimation. In Victoria, if your project is going to cost more than $16,000, you will need to get a certificate of consent from the Victorian Building Authority (VBA). This figure includes labour costs as well as the price of materials.

If you’re an inexperienced owner-builder, it can be tough to keep track of all these numbers.
