I Inspected a Billionaire’s Mansion

On one hand, I'm like "what difference does the price of the house matter?" but then on the other, I'm like "if millions of dollars can't ensure compliant and good practice work, what chance do the little guys have?"

[@josephj6521]

That’s why I’ve resigned to the fact to spend as little as possible on renovations and any work I can do, I’ll do it. I don’t think there is a perfect home unfortunately. Our standards are garbage.

[@pcatful]

@@josephj6521 But if the builders will just follow the standards, you're partway there. Some of these are fine standards, they are just not followed. I'm surprised that all the houses I see him do have bascially the same finishes, just the more expensive ones look nicer sometimes, and have more bells an whistles. The baths are basically the same in all the houses. Wouldn't fly design-wise in the US for higher end.

[@tdarben]

So.. how do we utilise the end advise? When we hire an inspector, isnt it too late, everyone has been paid? Or do we have the option to deploy our own inspectors throughout the construction period? How does it work?

[@retsaMinnavoiG]

Generally payments are made during the build at certain stages. If a certified inspector says there is non-compliant work you're usually well within your rights to not make the payment until it's remedied. You could have an inspector everyday if you can afford it or you could have them present for major works, like when the slab is being poured, when the frame goes up but before it gets covered, when the roof is being done, when waterproofing is done etc. etc. You can get your own inspector at anytime like right before final payment. But lots of stuff will be covered up and hidden by that point. Once a final payment is made you're likely to have serious issues getting things properly remedied and many major issues are borderline impossible to fix when to much work has progressed even if you haven't made the final payment - so they will bodge up a fix more than likely. In my opinion the best thing would be to hire an inspector like this to inspect during a handful of major works (to ensure the skeletons of the building are right) and just before final payment. It wouldn't be cheap but still much cheaper in the long run if you don't notice these issues for a few years or if they become known around the time of final payment, considering how common it has become for major defects to be part of a build, it's a good idea. Of course it all depends on how complex and non-standard the build is and the builders reputation.
