My long term goal is being able to develop property (buy land, knock down and build higher density dwellings). In line with this goal, I'm considering doing a tafe course to learn more about building - e.g. Cert IV Building & Construction. I think this may help me better deal with builders and contractors I hire (identify points of quality or where I can / cannot cut corners) - I might even be able to project manage things myself and not require a building company, leaving more money on the table for myself.
Does anyone have any advice or comments regarding this? Is it totally unnecessary for developing, or will it help only marginally / not worth doing? Or, for those who are similarly trained, do you find this education gives you more control / confidence / better results with developments?
