Start with my book.
I wrote this book to help students and graduates of architecture to bridge the gap between study and practice, but it has also struck a chord with DIYers and interested members of the public.
It covers the basics of construction, legislation, energy-efficient design, and project process in the Australian context.
I also welcome you to join my quarterly newsletter list which shares the most up to date information and resources. Sign up here.
