Full Dirt-to-Keys Curriculum
Every module is built to walk you from raw land to keys in hand — with Arizona-specific details most national courses completely ignore.
  • How an SFH build actually flows (Dirt → Keys).
  • Phases, milestones, and what happens on-site at each stage.
  • Owner-builder vs General Contractor responsibilities.
  • Subcontractor scopes, architect/engineer/designer roles.
  • Inspectors, county officials, and utility players.
  • Critical path: what must happen in order to avoid delays.
  • AZ-specific notes: soils, drainage, caliche, wildfire zoning, CCR/HOA norms.
  • Pre-construction setup: builder binder, contact lists, access, and due diligence mindset.
  • Lot types: rural vs city, neighborhoods, and value drivers.
  • Red flags that can kill a deal or blow up your budget.
  • Zoning, CCRs/HOAs, and use restrictions.
  • Setbacks, height limits, easements & building envelopes.
  • Legal and physical access, driveway layout & fire access requirements.
  • Utility checks: power, water, sewer/septic, gas, trash, mail, internet, schools.
  • Topography: slope, cuts/fills, drainage patterns.
  • Due diligence checklist: who to call, what to ask, and how to read maps.
  • Boundary and topographic surveys — when you need them.
  • How to read surveys: setbacks, slope, easements, and encroachments.
  • Soils / geotechnical reports: when required and what they tell you.
  • How soil conditions drive foundation design and cost.
  • Perc tests: when they’re needed, who performs them, and what the results mean.
  • Septic design basics in rural Arizona.
  • Other investigations: environmental, wells, demo issues.
  • Who you actually need: architect, residential designer, drafter, structural engineer.
  • When each is required by code, lender, or county.
  • How to create a clear “program” for your designer so you don’t pay for revisions twice.
  • Typical fee structures and scopes of work.
  • Structural engineering workflow: soils → foundation → beams → framing → trusses.
  • Civil, grading, and drainage plans — when they’re required in Arizona.
  • Permitting requirements (AZ-specific) from a practical GC perspective.
  • Site-first design principles so the house fits the land, not the other way around.

Quick Answers

Does this include audio, GC call, or the Protection Pack?
No. This is the course-only option: Modules 1–9, PDFs, quizzes, and final exam. Audio-Only Pack, GC Strategy Call, and the Arizona Owner-Builder Protection Pack are separate products or included together in the Pro Bundle.
Is the course Arizona-specific?
Yes. The examples, permitting flow, and field reality are designed around Arizona, especially rural and semi-rural counties. The big-picture GC logic applies anywhere, but details are written for Arizona.

If you want to understand your build the way a GC does — from feasibility and design through permits, budgeting, subs, and full build sequence — the Core Course gives you the full Dirt-to-Keys roadmap.
