A contractor who is an owner builder is usually not a registered builder. They are people who organise the contractors to build their home themselves. As well as being a jack of most trades, a builder is a facilitator, who deals with council authorities, negotiates with trademen, supplies building materials, prepares the site and oversees the build. An owner builderdoes the same but is not qualified to do so, and therefore needs an owner builder license and on completion of the house has the term owner builder on the deed and if selling, on the contract. Owner built homes are subject to all inspections and warranties just like builder built homes, but may not be to the same standard. Owner builders generally build kit homes or from alternate materials such as strawbale or mudbrick.
