Building Inspections Explained!

[@shalimar7100]

Excellent information on how the processes of a build happens, to get code of compliance. We are starting a new build next year(march 2024)out in Taita(Wellington), my boss put his tender in, and got the job! so im stoked for him.... im stoked because i get to do a new build from excavation(boss buying a digger) no slab(ive done one new complete build before with slab), but this well be a piled duplex build, something im new too, so im looking forward to the new year already, and it aint even xmas! Great video, merry xmas, and bring on the new year!👍

Ex builder/ inspectors really understand when you sometimes have to improvise to get the same result. (Still following the building code). It just helps with that practical knowledge.

[@hectorhazard904]

Great video, I'm doing a diploma in QS and CM so I can be an inspector with fuck all site exposure. My dad was a plumber though... Seriously these videos help a lot.

[@ledang9584]

Thanks, mate. Great video as usual

[@nzbuilder]

Glad you enjoyed it :)

I remember my first time in Construction. My boss said to be careful digging where the power cables where. I was digging up the ground with my spade and didn't know I hit the power cable. He inspected it and there was just a little tear in the outer side of the cable. He said if I had dug full strength I would have cut the power cable, and would have been liable for damage and costs up to thousands. I've never been scared on a construction site in all my life.

Crazy

[@handson2717]

Very good information

[@jpl0713]

I do agree with you, I prefer the inspector with practical knowledge rather than the guy who is good at academic bullshit . Some fresh inspector likes blabla the nonsense.

[@matthewbryant8849]

Really nice builds bro

[@nzbuilder]

thanks Matt - appreciate it

[@samuelmcgill8891]

Can you do a video on the administrative site on booking inspections? Like how you organise and prepare for them while your in the office

[@MRDOCTORLOUIS]

Where to find the inspection list?

[@jamieryan7576]

Cheers mate

In Auckland, if a building inspector needs to come back and re-inspect something, it’s often a different inspector who commonly raises an issue around something his colleague previously inspected and passed. It should be mandatory that these guys a former builders.

How often would an inspection fail and for what reasons.

[@davidmarinan4818]

Depends how often you produce incorrect work to them. They can fail you for all kinds of reasons. Unprimed H3.1 timber cladding would fail. Bevelback cladding weathergrooves not lining up would fail. Incorrect screw patterns on a gib bracing element. There are many ways to fail, so it's important to learn about the key things.

[@alexbarber1468]

Commonly failed inspection would be pre-line inspection due to framing timber having a too high moisture content. If you are only missing a couple items that need siting, they may pass you but request photos be sent through of the items once you have remedied them.

[@arangy1]

@@alexbarber1468 what should the moisture content be for the framing timber before pre-line?

[@alexbarber1468]

@@arangy1 off the top of my head I believe GIB requires 17% moisture content (could be wrong) however some inspectors can be generous enough to allow within 3%

[@alexbarber1468]

@@arangy1 around 17% I believe to meet Gib Requirements

[@lukezhao1068]

Can we sue the council since they sign the CCC. Like plumbers sign their work they should responsible for that. Then why we like masterbuild.
