How to Build a House | Site Management

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.
