Home Quality Check Guide! (What to look for)

[@monchingjr1632]

Architect here, i just want to add, for toilets you should also check if the floor is sloping down to the drain so that there will be no ponding on certain areas, you can do this by running the water on the floor and check how the water drains on its own. Anyways, thanks for this Sir Slater you're helping a lot of people =)

[@ramilmedina5308]

Unfortunately this is a problem I raised to my contractor but was not addressed until the warranty period lapsed

[@PULLED-u6l]

is it possible to be fixed if it does not drain properly and the tiles is already plotted?

[@MysticRose99]

THIS IS A MUST TOO!

[@harayas4420]

Was about to add this one as I am currently experiencing it with my apartment. Good thing I am only a tenant and hoping to move in to a new home (which I will inspect soon). Helpful video indeed Slater!

[@precioussword2263]

"Hindi mo makikita ang mali kung hindi mo alam ang tama." Kaya ka kumukuha ng contractor kasi expected mo na alam nila ang tama - dapat. But, reality is not all are reliable, honest, and may pagmalasakit sa owner. Hirap talaga pag wala kang alam kasi sasabihin lang nila na yun ang tama or okay na yan kahit hindi. Malaki ang tulong ng vlog na ito na malaman ang basics. Salamat Slater.

[@jebreldomado5955]

Also to add, Engr. based on personal experience. Check nyo if may dumadaan na pipe sa septic other than yung galing sa water closet. dapat yung sa water closet lng yung daan sa septic para hindi mapuno agad. also dapat ndi binabaha yun septic very basic pro minsan kase ndi napapansin kaya nadadaya hehe. water proofing din po very important sa mga canopies above window and sa roof ofcourse. at eto pa pala. sa simula palang dapat ina-anticipate nyo na kung gano kataas dapat yung floorlevel ng bahay nyo, kung ndi ba aabutin ng baha. very important to na dapat masiguro nyo lalo na pag nasa layouting period na kayo ng bahay nyo, kase mahirap mag adjust ng floorlevel ng bahay lalo na kung very late nyo na marealize. yun lng po magandang gabi sa lahat. Salamat sa infos, Engr! salute sa pag effort hehe

[@kenia154]

Hi, how to check the septic part?

[@jebreldomado5955]

Friday's mum hi po itry nyo po ipaandar isaisa yung gripo nyo sa kitchen sink, lavatory tsaka shower tapos labas kayo sa kanal tignan nyo kung diritso ba sa kanal yung tubig. pg hindi, baka sa septic dumiretso yun which is masama kase mapupuno agad septic tank nyo i hope thats what u meant to ask po

[@kenia154]

Yup, right on point. Tysm!

[@AsurorusA]

during concreting phase , check if the contractor follows the structural schedule / details (number of rebars & sizes) for beams slab columns etc and the methodology behind it, this is where they usually make "daya" because rebars are one of the most expensive components in a building, if you cant understand the engineering plans make sure to ask your civil designer / architect to visit the site. if these details are not met the longevity of the house is compromised because problems in structural stability will only take effect maybe years or even a decade to occur which is way after the contractors warranty / retention, Great vid btw kudos

[@alyssamendoza450]

As a young engineer (contractor side) here in Cebu, I'm learning a lot from your channel po. Thanks kaayu!!p

[@thewanderingvlogger2899]

WoW engineer thumbs up. Very good tip . I live in Las Vegas . Planning to build the retirement house . Simple but elegant. I don’t have any idea and knowledge about house . Thanks for your time and patience to share your knowledge. All your video I try to watch repeatedly. Thank you 👏🏻👏🏻♥️♥️🤝🤝

[@anakinskywalker6902]

To make your life easier, hire an Architect/Engineer to do the punch listing or snagging before the project turn-over.👌

[@icesummer1725]

do you mean po na aside from the contractor (like ung mga build now pay later), you need to hire a separate architect or engineer?

[@anakinskywalker6902]

@@icesummer1725 If yung contractor mo may sariling architect or civil engr pwede kayong mag.ask ng punch list sa kanila. If wala, kayo na kumuha.

[@josevivenciomateo6754]

What I really like about Slater is his attention to detail and his effort of sharing - kahit nawawalan na ng boses. 😆 No Ads skipped as my thank you.

[@jobelgerard]

Very helpful content esp for laymen in construction like us. We are doing all our researches about this online but most of what we read are from western countries. Please make more contents like this 🙏🙏🙏

[@heyitsbiancake]

Perfect video just before we start building our house next week! Thanks, Engr. Young! 😁💯

[@velaragonpadin]

Yung checklist nyo po ay aesthetically pleasing din ❤ This is very useful. Thank you!

[@MrRedthorn]

future home owners will now be equipped with these USEFUL basic tips of punchlisting that construction personnel only know. Thank you, for sharing this to us!

[@MsMichelleVillar]

More of these type of vlogs Engineer Slater! Thank you for sharing

[@jarveyvelasco6200]

Thanks Janjan for these very insightful contents!!!

[@elshatilaon3102]

You just earned a subscriber. Kudos Engr!

[@ahyonvlogs]

Para nako nakipag dialouge sa lahat ng site contractor namin tru dis video.. Ang galing naman..! 😎

[@meopinspace79]

Content Suggestion: What we need to know or consider on rent to own houses/condo? What are the things we need to check?

[@joeyqth]

Very very informative!! How I wish this pieces of info were already available when our house was built in 1996. Too late. So many issues now!! Gastos!!

[@peach7545]

Watching the little details of making a house makes me so kiliiiiggggg 🥰🥰🥰 i am far from building my dream home but this keeps me inspired! 😬 thanksssss

[@hollycruz9390]

This is awesome! We’re building and this makes me more confident about the process. Your videos are so helpful! Thanks heaps!

[@JediiTheWarrior]

I feel you Sir. Production Engr po ako sa isang Military boat builder company, so frustration is high specially general assembly most importantly connections.

[@jaycellyntadlas6729]

Silent viewer niyo po engr. Slater.. thank you for sharing your knowledge to us.. di man karon mapatukod among future house atleast naa mi idea what to check puhon.. God bless you and the skyfam!

[@angielavicencio1096]

As far as am watching Engr. Young's videos, am getting more perfectionist of how my future house can be built🤣

[@diribastabasta]

Ito talaga praktikal at useful ang contents! Sana dumami pa subs mo idol!

[@ritchelmacapagal3219]

Very much helpful! Post it - Check!😉 I truly admire your honesty, integrity and dedication in work. It's very seldom to find people who has "malasakit" on the part of the owner. If I win in lotto I will entrust you my dream house 🏠 God bless you and your family Slater 🙏❤

[@xtianzpaul5267]

Nung una pinapagawa lang nmin sa mga construction worker yung pagpipinta sa bahay ng parents ko kaya may mga spotting sa floor at uneven yung paint sa wall kaya pinaulit nmin sa mga nakakaalam or professional kaya makikita talaga yung differences ng gawa nila mas finer at even yung paint ng wall at walang spotting sa marble floor even mas costy but very satifying nman yung resulta

[@KristelDi]

Can I just say how could you dislike this kind of very useful and insanely informative video with Engr. Slater in it? 🤷‍♀️

[@tarastephanie]

Contractors are shaking! Hahaha hindi na nila tayo maloloko 🤣😂

[@nicaarcilla522]

This is sooooo helpful!!!!!! Thank you sir!!! More blessings to come. 🙏👌

[@marialourdeslopez4014]

Thanks for this video. Owners really have to check everything. Our contractor and architect have very poor attention to details. No quality check from their end before turnover. And we really have to assert that they fix all the flaws before paying the retention fee.

[@kaydengile7903]

I so love this kind of videos. So educational. Will definitely consider this in my future home 🥰

[@rexelabad5271]

Thanks Engr Slater Young. OFW here. Tamang tama to sa patapos q na bhay na pinapagawa. Khit paano di man perfectly mamonitor ng aking mag ina q atleast may idea kami on how to check before accepting. Thanks sa downloadable checklist too. It will help us a lot na mag ina q lang nasa Pnas dahil hindi pa makauwi.

[@lesterburgos2237]

Thank you po kuya for this video. This is very timely coz our house will be done by next month and we’ll soon be doing the site inspection with our builder. We didn’t hire an inspector kasi it would cost us too much that’s why I’m very thankful for this vid! Again, thank you po kuya! P.S. I hit the “Like” button!

[@CiafiHOLIC]

My gash the video editing is so professional. 💕👏🏼 When you have the time, please do a detailed design explanation of your bathrooms Sir Slater🙏🏼 I really love your bathroom especially the stone and bathroom fixture choices.

[@Discoverandlivephilippines]

Very good to tell people those things. But best is always to be around when installation is ongoing so you can take care directly!

[@jaceb8208]

Me and the fiance are currently having our house built, the turnover is mid this year and I could already feel the panic and stress setting in... This is soooo helpful and makes me feel like i can do something to ensure I wouldn't regret too much in the future (of course i know there will still be some hiccups..that's almost unavoidable...but it helps to know I did everything I can😁 ) Thanks Slater! You're the champ !!!

[@jieeenjer____3873]
