I'm a old school painter and decorater from the 70s I painted a lot of homes and the quality of the work was A+ and now the work done on homes are absolutely criminal. What we pay for homes now is also criminal. There are only a handful of trades people out there the rest are pretenders with very little experience. GOD HELP US ALL

YES! I remember back in the day when painters were actually really skilled. They'd do your house and it would last a lifetime. They'd actually do apprenticeships. Now they come in, charge $2k per room, don't even sugar soap the walls, slap it up and it's chipping off within a few months.

@ethel.13 because insanely high demand for homes mean quality control suffers... same goes for motorhomes and caravans... the demand was so high that the manufacturers decided it was better to slap them together now, and worry about fixing them later.

I walked through a ten year old home in the outer north a few weeks ago on auction day, it has a corrugated colour bond conventional hipped roof, one would expect it to be water tight for a couple of lifetimes, but there are obvious water stains under the eaves & the outdoor dining entertaining area.It sold for just a few thousand under $900,000. What is going on with roofing? Ask the VBA i guess.

It isn't the builder, it's the subcontractors who employ unqualified people. You'll get a Chinese or Korean tiling crew and they'll bring in their workers, none of whom speak English, who knows who they are. Generally the builder isn't employing people directly. They have the details of the subcontractor but who knows who they have working for them. All this is supposed to be picked up during inspections though and the builder made to rectify it. The biggest problem is bad oversight, if there's holes in the system then the dodgiest people win and honest people who do a good job get outcompeted.

Ah thankyou, my eyes knew something was very wrong in that stairwell but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. There's not supposed to be anything at all in a fire escape rated stairwell that is flammable, PVC can be set alight with a match, this also makes the left over timber formwork lazily left there a big nope. The huge air-drafting gaps in those walls filled with flammable expandy foam are also terribad, in the event of a fire they will either suck oxygen out of the stairwell; feeding the fire and risking escapees fainting, or vent noxious smoke or even flames into the stairwell. So much wrong in such a small space.

It goes into the state coffers for spending on those things I mentioned. It also pays for welfare, hospitals, schools and roads. The states can also borrow money from the central banks.

Multiple reasons: Australia has hundreds of thousands of immigrants that they cannot manage. Same with millions of migrants in much of Europe and North America. Government regulations for net-zero have made building a house unaffordable. Government zoning does not allow construction in many areas driving up prices. Etc.

It's complicated.... but, We keep building shit places that are expected to last maybe 20-30 years, get knocked down and replaced. So where a house used to be expected to last 60-90 years its now 20, maybe. So we spend more time rebuilding. As mentioned, in a desperate bid to prop up neoliberal perpetual expansion economics multiple Australian governments have opened up immigration, obviously beyond sustainable levels. Property is wealth and many people are holding multiple properties. Some do lease them, but combined with AirBnB turning places into hotels this has also eaten supply of rental properties. A thing that the tax scheme was supposed to make more of has effectively inflated housing prices and reduced the market availability. No government for the past 30 years has made any meaningful spending on affordable subsidized housing or social housing. All while population has kept increasing including with the new immigration pressures. TLDR, Greed, Failed Economic Theories, Greed.

This is why we need to categorically reject rushed building of mass apartments, or rush rush build dog boxes regardless of housing crisis in Victoria. It is unfair to move people in or have them purchase off the plan, only to find major waterproofing and structural defects destroying their life financially…building well initially but slowly and thoroughly saves money in long run..
