Become a Property Guru
There is no better way to manage buildings than to understand construction and landscaping. Through this extensive and intensive course students are encouraged to nurture construction skills and use those to make a variety of projects. They are also provided with some landscaping components so that appreciation of the whole site is developed.

This is knowledge that underpins the property or real estate industry. This course is very practical with an "experience" based approach to learning; where you will be observing and interacting with real properties; discovering relevance to the real world in the things you learn about building methods (from carpentry to masonry) and gardening (from landscaping to garden maintenance).
This is a foundation course for:
-
building managers
-
estate or property managers

entrepreneurs, investors, developers

What does a property manager do?
It depends on the property. Some property managers may be only responsible for the maintenance of a property; but others may be responsible for development or redevelopment projects and controlling at least some aspects of the use.
Property managers are commonly employed by the properties owner, which may be an individual, a company, or a group of individuals operating as a body corporate, overseen by an elected committee. The responsibilities may be diverse, for example:
-
Maintaining services within and the structure of buildings (eg. power supply, water supply, air conditioning, heating, plumbing, etc).
-
The manager may have permanent staff or contractors to oversee for cleaning, maintaining indoor plants and exterior gardens, replacing light bulbs, repairing damage to walls, windows, doors etc. They do not need to be a tradesman, but an understanding of the work a tradesman does is important, and any trades skills they may have can be an advantage.
-
Issues of safety (eg. fire drills, maintaining security and safety equipment)
