Owner Builder South Africa?
An owner builder in South Africa refers to an individual who acts as both the owner and the builder of a residential property. It is a legal term used to describe individuals who undertake the construction, renovation, or alteration of a building on their own property without employing a registered builder or contractor.
Owner builders are responsible for managing the entire construction process, including obtaining necessary permits, sourcing materials, hiring and supervising subcontractors, and ensuring compliance with building regulations. This approach allows individuals to have greater control over the project, potentially reducing costs and tailoring the design to their specific needs.
However, it also requires a good understanding of construction practices and regulations to ensure a successful outcome.
