About the course

Starting your own house build can feel overwhelming especially when you’re figuring it out on your own. That’s why I created this step-by-step course using the same proven methods I’ve used to build my own houses. Whether you’re planning your first owner-builder project or just want to understand how to get started the right way, this course walks you through the beginning phase with practical instruction. This isn’t a theory-heavy course, it’s focused on real-world steps you can take right now. From designing your own floor plan to understanding permits, inspections, and staking out your build site, I’ll show you exactly how I get each part done! ⚠️ Disclaimer: I’m not a licensed architect, engineer, plumber or electrician. This course is based on my personal experience building my own homes as an owner builder. Always check your local building codes and permit requirements, and consult licensed professionals as needed. This course is for educational purposes only.
