I love your videos, as a builder here in New Zealand building multi story apartment blocks, I've now got my team and now my bosses watching your videos and i can tell you have made us check and recheck every trade that comes though our doors, your videos helped us identify red flags pertaining to trades giving us fake paperwork and insurance paperwork, some of the paperwork filed to us was so good some of our government's departments had to do a double take when checking them as they all had the right stamps and signatures, we now have such a robust team of 6 setting standards above and beyond what we would normality do, and we now offer this service to other companies here; which helps off set our fixed costs.

The worst thing about this is it actually requires someone to come in and point out all of the dodgy work that has been done before the builder does something about it. If the builders were professionals the problems pointed out in these videos wouldn't have occurred. The builder must know how bad/cheap the quality of the build is.

[@Vanceydress]

I have watched a few of these videos and it is obvious building company's are subcontracting people who have no understanding of Australian building standards because they didn't do their apprenticeship here but they work cheap and the builder can maximize their profits. Screw the people buying the house right? Suckers.

Yes ,and that board should be mechanically fastened every 200mm 0r 150mm depending on tile weight per sqm. I have seen tiled walls bulging 50mm because the sheets were fixed like standard walls with glue and fasteners around perimeter of sheet only. The glue lets go under weight of tiles.

Apparently the crew learned their trades in China, they are using construction techniques from China with materials from China and even instructions on the wall in Chinese. What would you expect? Does the foreman even read enough English to be familiar with the complex Australian building code regulations for bathroom waterproofing or roofing? For an Aussie tiler who has grown up with Aussie standards the waterproofing would be second nature, but certainly not for recent immigrants who still communicate in Chinese on the site. Same for roofing or any other trade. I hope the plumbing has not been done by Chinese plumbers, as in my experience, China has some of the worst plumbing in the world.

Wow - sadly this was a familiar scene for us. Our builders took too long between laying the scree and tiling over it - and in the meantime it lifted. But can you tell me when the rules about window labels came in. Ours went in when we had an extension done on our 1940's house - there is no label on any of them. Great work. Well done

How has it passed? How is it standing!

We are currently at the end of pre-construction waiting to be released to construction. For some reason our builder keeps coming up with excuses to delay us to construction over issues that should have been rectified months ago. Anyway, seeing this makes me think we're making the biggest mistake of our lives. So much of this could or should be resolved if they had a supervisor on site 8 hours a day. From what I hear you are lucky to see one for 10 minutes once a fortnight.

It's one thing for builders to have poor workmanship but i reckon it's also on the lazy site surveyors who pass inspections which let's builders think everything is compliant. Thank you for the follow up vid

And this is a prime example of cheaper work being prioritised over quality work

People paying cheap prices expecting quality work as well

To book an inspection online, the client has to tick a box stating they agree to the 'terms and conditions'. I cannot find a list or any reference to what your terms and conditions are anywhere on your website.
