Description
This course is designed for anyone who is either building a new home, owner-builder or anyone who is looking to become a site supervisor/manager. We will go through the sequence of trades and when to schedule each trade in. There are also a heap of professional tips and tricks to help you minimise costly mistakes when building a new home. It is a practical step by step guide on how to build a home through the eyes of a site supervisor. The course is made up of 6 modules, each reflecting a major stage of the building process. Module 1 will go through the process of things to look for before even starting site such as site inspections and making a checklist of curve ball items that can cause costly issues if not noted early on in the project. It will then move on to site works and footings. Module 2 will go through site set up and framing. In module 3 we will go through the sequence of external cladding and roofing. Module 4 will go through 1st fix services such as electrical, plumbing and gas and finish up at internal linings. In module 5 we will go through the sequence of the finishing trades and answer questions such as what a pre-paint is and when do we measure shower-screens and mirrors? Module 6 is all about the walk-through and handover process. Our bonus module will have details on how to lead a team of sub-contractors and tips and tricks on how to get the most out of our day with productivity hacks.

This course was developed because there is a lack of useful practical courses in regards to the sequence of trades and what to check before and after they have done their job.

Who this course is for
This course is designed for owner builders, site supervisors or anyone who is building a new home and wishes to be able to follow along the process with an understanding of what to look out for and what is acceptable.
