Building in Clarkson - PERTH - June 2024 VLOG

[@johnstockwell9457]

Nice to see building works right on my doorstep in Mindarie.

[@CemDuru]

I love Mindarie, I was at Sistas for lunch today :)

[@markymark4831]

Im a local Architectural Designer & Draftsman in Kinross and I have noticed a big shift in the past 18 months with clients choosing to do owner builder homes due to the cost savings. Engaging independent structural engineers and building surveyors/inspectors to inspect each stage of their works for peace of mind. Interesting times.

[@CemDuru]

Do you work for a builder or do you have your own business?

[@KainSwiss]

Trust me no matter what the cost. Building a house in WA right now is the right thing to do. Renting should be only temporary!

[@CemDuru]

No matter what the cost? That's an interesting take!

[@xotic8617]

Can’t believe how tiny houses have become in Perth.. absolutely ludicrous

[@Chronicles_of_life99]

Can't agree more mate !! Gone were the days we had homes!! Councils approving more tinier building codes in the coming years so let's be realistic and wait for houses built in 70sqm blocks 😢

[@CemDuru]

Agreed but who do you think is to blame here?

[@granthayes1673]

Outstanding presentation Cem . Thoroughly enjoyed this informative video . Very very well done 👌👏

[@CemDuru]

[@SomethingRandomChannel]

[@CemDuru]

Thank you so much!

[@TheMontyrex]

Staight forward and down to earth. LOVE IT

[@CemDuru]

That's really kind thank you so much!!!

[@troycrawford8916]

Nice video. The one thing that I would like to see from all builders is with the size of blocks these days leaves next to no room for a shed. Why cant start seeing design with roof attics

[@CemDuru]

Thanks Troy. I agree, it would be really handy to have and I've seen a few people incorporate roof storage into their homes. It's all a matter of cost at the end of the day, the price of both land and build has gone up so much, for many it's hard to afford even the simplest home.

[@nasernazamyar9783]

Thanks Cem What do you think of investing in Catalina green?

[@CemDuru]

I did 12 months ago. I'm a fan of that estate. Not financial advice.

[@nasernazamyar9783]

@@CemDuru thanks mate We will be neighbors then

[@paulgilliland2992]

Or you can build right next to a main highway.

[@davidhawkins4495]

If building in Perth , be very selective with the choice of builder. We signed a building contract in August 2019 and our builder built our house in the seasonal water table. When the house flooded in 2021, the builder denied all liability and abandoned the build. We needed to get legal assistance to re take possession of the house, install sub soil drainage and complete the build . Its been a stressful few years for us. Meanwhile the builder concerned continues to screw his client base. Karma will get him one day.

[@aelridcrasta8578]

whats the name of the home design?

[@CemDuru]

It's a custom design

[@peterbozich4433]

I cringe when I see tradesmen using a kitchen benchtop as a work bench.

[@CemDuru]

They do a good job of covering it up well but it could be avoided all together, you're right.

[@Randomtvonline]

Have to disagree with quality. What’s being built today is complete and utter garbage. Bad designs not suited to the block. No thought on solar orientation. Zero checks and balances. Builders who haven’t read the building code.

[@ncandanto]

I haven't seen Terry for 30 years, Top little Raver he was , bouncing round Limbo's in the early 90's

[@CemDuru]

That makes me love him even more!

[@ToLive...IsToDie]

Nice work mate👍 can I ask how many Practical Completion Inspections you have to do in Perth? I was told it's 2xPCI's by a well-known builder in Perth. Cheers

[@CemDuru]

Every builder is different, HG have one PCI completed by a 3rd party inspector before key hand-over, however you're more than welcome to hire your own inspector to complete as many inspections as you like through-out the build.

[@ToLive...IsToDie]

@CemDuru Thanks for the info, mate. I believe our builder (PD) requires us to get 2 independent PCI inspections so that it gives the site supervisor a list to work to complete before handover (PCI 1), and another inspection to make sure defects have been rectified (PCI 2), freeing up time for the site supervisor which then would save them time and $$. Just my opinion. I guess 2 would be better than 1.

[@CemDuru]

Yes, you're right and of course the more eyes looking over the work the better, it just comes down to how much extra you want to pay for the additional quality control. Some people are happy leaving it all up to the builder and others have an inspector through at multiple stages throughout the build.
