Disgusting, I've worked for a builder building new homes from the ground up, he was a mate of mine, we both started as carpenters in the early 90's and then he progressed to a builders licence, All the homes were built with pride and quality and full compliance to Australian standards and codes, all contractors were rigorously supervised and strictly inducted on the compliance to codes and standards and quality expected in the workmanship of all works carried out, its the greedy money hungry corrupt builders that find the corrupt certifiers and contractors that result in disgraceful nightmares like this home.

Site Inspections...we need more guys like you and fewer tradies like that!

[themacedonian]

What a state. I’m in the building trade. This is a disgrace.

[MitchDonovan]

Tradie then raced off into the sunset running red lights on the way to the next jpb

my dad (RIP @85) was a bricklayer for 65 years. reitured at 70.
He made workers tear down walls and redo them when he found this sort of crap. i guess there are no skills nowadays or pride in their work.

Where can you learn to do building inspections?

[johnmurphy]

This is the guy you want to employ to stand at the site the whole day observing the workers, unqualified builders, do their thing.

[BraeFTW]

Can you please talk more about the what owners have to go through to get stuff like this fixed and how often do builders refuse to fix defects that would cost them a fortune and need to demolish a large amount of the house to fix? How often does it get messy and end up in court? Love the videos and longer form content .

[piratejimmeh]

That’s what happens when builders sign their own work off. No shits given. The council should be responsible for signing each stage of the build off and if the building doesn’t meet the standard the builder doesn’t get paid it’s simple - New Zealand has been doing this for years hence why the standard of building is better than Australia.

This is the third of your clips that I've watched The depth of detail - and therefore the value you give your clients - is just terrific and I think, worth every cent you charge, but calling you in at the right time is crucial.

[drumbass]

You spit out the NCC codes like a rap champion😂😂love it.

Waiting for your book called "building 101" or "Building for Dummies"

Thanks for the videos,
Spent my life’s saving and a future of debt to buy a house, to find that there was zero water proofing or water resistant boards underneath. Just tiles spot glued onto a obs board in the bathrooms, on the 2nd floor.

Realised I can’t do anything about it as they sold the house exactly to the month, 7 years after it was built. (In Victoria, that s the liability limit for builders)

Now im 40k down fixing all the bathrooms as they grew black mole, floor was getting squishy after a year, and we coulda just fallen through the floor with all the damage if we ignored it a couple more years.
I mean I am already being stretched on mortgage debt.

These people really need to be criminally charged for their work endangering people’s lives and lively hoods.( well in the severe cases where their poor build quality could kill someone)

Or some sorta new rule, like if they never did the job correctly from the beginning they should be liable for it forever. ( not including wear n tear)

[j.l.]

I wish they would name and shame the building company

[creditelectric]

Get a house built & run the risk of finding yourself in court or swallow the cost of remedial works? No confidence in the industry at all.

[footballfreak]

There is nothing wrong with this building, its simply built to Australian standards. She'll be right mate.

[scottatkins]

My sister in law thinks your hot she wants to know how much for a full inspection
She claims you have caused some type of moisture problem……..

[Peter_Monti]

I would love love love! To see the outcome of some of these inspections, what the builder has said or what they have done to rectify the problems, or if the owners end up in court. You know what I mean, like a follow-up. These videos are fantastic you should have a tv show however you will become bigger than tv if you stick to growing your YouTube. Thanks for your complaint videos I love it. 😊

[lockl]

This is just typical of Australian quality now - nothing unexpected.

[kenezos]

I’m assuming this home isn’t from a volume builder. So I guess, whether you go through a volume builder, a small builder, it means nothing. They’re all mentally challenged

[PappadumWarrior]

Surely the so called "building inspector" needs to be named and shamed for allowing such obviously dodgy work to be signed off. THey are a disgrace as much as the builder themselves.
