Are Aussie roofers better than UK and USA roofers

[@adamseabrook6455]

I beg to differ on some points about New South Wales: 1/ NSW allows unlicensed work under the $5000 threshold. 2/ this means that there are many unlicensed roofing repair businesses springing up in Sydney. They have a registered company but no licence. They do cowboy work. 3/ If you complain to Fair Trading about their work they did, the response is "you should have used a licensed business"so its on the customer, not the unlicensed roofing business because the $5000 threshold is higher than 99% of roof repairs and it is not a "protected" trade 4/ The customer needs to check on the credentials and cannot rely on glitzy websites and advertising.

Your points are ALL valid. Perhaps Aussie roofers are trending towards USA roofers (since we seem to follow USA by a few years).... Deregulation (making it easier) in some aspects of construction is supposed to make things better for the tradie and the consumer to work together. But when there are people who want to take advantage of deregulation, this efficiency tool is a double edged sword. Long term, tradies will find that it is far better for everyone to practice their trade right. It works out cheaper for the homeowner and more profitable for the tradie. But in the short term, 'She will be right' and 'I will be gone before they find out...' attitudes are short cuts to short term profit.

Good job. I think if you start mentioning parts of the related National Construction Code and Australian Standards to the areas where you find problems. That would make your videos stand out. Especially for building practitioners who are starting out in the industry.

Thanks for the feed back. Another NCC related video will be dropping this week.

I hear a bit of kiwi/South African accent

You are close - yet very far from where the accent comes from...
