Now.. different trade... but as a structural welder and a decent person... i want to be able to sleep at night... so i do my job as best i can and don't complain when the welding inspector rolls through and calls out things he has questions about. Had to redo a few things in my day. Sure i grumbled a bit about the nitpicking... but that nitpicking is potentially protecting 1k+ people who may be spending 8-14 hours a day in that building. They don't need to worry about a shoddy weld bringing tons of metal, concrete, and furniture down on their heads.

By walking on it

[@TheAvererageGamer]

@immunitychip317 I'm going to take your impressive lack of grammar skills to decide that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Walking on a roof without being tied off is the single most unsafe things you can do on a new build jobs site and falling off means a coin flip between the ER and funeral home. As a builder, I love to know what's on my roof, and welcome any inspector, but it is a massive legal liability for people to get up on your roof, especially if they are not tied off

[@immunitychip317]

@@TheAvererageGamer I have never once tied off on a roof that was less than 16 foot correct because at that footage it is easier for me to just take the fall then get caught up in the rafters but anything more than that yes I would tie off and it not that hard there is many of different available clips that you can slide up on the ridge and be tied off just fine so once again if you have a problem with AN ACTUAL INSPECTOR looking at your job then you should be walked off the site immediately you are a danger not only the home owners but to whoever is near your build is in damgee an actual inspector in not some dumbass who crushes your ridge caps and puts dents in valleys on the metal because yes we have had inspectors do that and guess what we did after that "WE WENT WITH THE ONE WHO KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING AND WORKED WITH US"

[@bryancurry1723]

How are builders legally allowed to restrict an inspection before close?

[@HBSuccess]

Because the buyer agreed to it hook line and sinker, often before the house was even started. The buyer signed an Agreement of Sale,100% lopsided and restricting inspections is often just the tip of the iceberg. Bigger builders in my experience will slide in whatever they can get away with including “you can’t refuse to close no matter what.” My advice is find a smaller volume family-run builder… under 500 closings/yr … and don’t sign ANYTHING without a thorough attorney review. And pick your lawyer carefully… you want someone very knowledgeable in both consumer rights and residential real estate AND construction. There are a wonderful conscientious small-to-mid volume builders in practically every zip code in the USA.

KB Homes 2007 buyer here.. let me tell you.. what he is saying is true. We had so many issues with our home, balconies w incorrect tiles meaning soap slippery and no slope, so water puddles against walls. Water coming thru the windows frame!! The day I moved in, it pour rain inside my house from 3 unsealed windows and the balcony, called KB for all these issues and guess what.. no answer.. ever ever ever, is like they were gone! The case got so bad for not covering the 10 y warranty and not honoring their mistakes or repairs, nada… that we had to call the local TV. Finally the FL attorney general, Bondi, her name, forced them MF’ers out to respond and take credibility for the poor work they done..stealing our hard money here outright. Eventually after 2 years they fixed the problem, but not without us signing an agreement. Imagine that. So buyers, be aware.. a house is to be a blessing and for being this expensive as it is today, do your inspections. Watch out for KB.

[@AirPurificationEducation]

Just plain EVIL! A home is likely the largest purchase one will make in their lifetime. These people should be outed on social media to the nth degree - so they eventually lose their licenses. We had a good builder and a very good inspector and he still found many issues that they fixed for us. And this was a "good" "honest" builder.... I disagree with Cy saying to do the inspection after close within 10 days of the warranty inspection period for just the reasons you stated - it has already closed so they have no motivation to fix your problems, IMO. And your inspector needs to be VERY GOOD... like ours was - and we paid about $400 to $500 for him 20 years ago... but worth every penny. You have no idea what he will find - ours found a drainage issue in our yard that got fixed b4 we closed - he saved us A LOT of grief on this as some of our neighbors STILL have drainage issues to this day.... Invest upfront in a VERY GOOD Inspector, I say.

devil's advocate here; imagine you building a home and some bottom-dollar inspector Mr. Destructo comes in and starts overflowing bathtubs, slamming the garage door against objects, and unscrews the electrical panel while stripping the heads and crossthreading them putting it back on after looking to make sure the wires are hooked up real good. Same with stomping around on the roof, poking hard with objects, banging the ladder against walls denting and scratching things, otherwise being mildly to more destructive. But my read is they are nasty people who cut corners and almost intentionally do things poorly to see how much they can get away with while proverbially swimming in a vault of money like Scrooge McDuck back at headquarters. They make you not want to buy a new or older home; nor that you can trust most inspectors either. Just time to give up I think ...

Just a heads up, we didn't know about KB homes at first (8 years ago they were a decent builder where we were). Now, banks are asking who the builder is and we only found out about how bad KB was after we were denied 3 times by 3 different lenders for 3 different properties (even one 3 years old) specifically because it was built by KB Homes. We then found all this out, and it is how I found your channel. So their bad building and sale practices are causing even banks to not want to lend. That is why they push so hard with their own preferred lender. Fast forward to today, we are in Las Vegas. I have no idea who to even buy a home from. Even if the market crashes and prices come down. None seem to be able to be trusted at all.

I love the last one "no destructive testing" ah they mean the testing that's only destroying things if they build it right. Rough

I tell my clients to forget they ever told me that the builder said I'm not allowed on the roof - walk em anyway. If someone comes and tells me I'm not allowed I tell them I'll be right down once I grab my stuff (don't have any stuff, just finish my work).

It should be flat out illegal for the home builder to dictate ANY terms of conduct to a home inspector.

[@TPIR_Fan_1972]

These restrictions are beyond nuts.

[@fighter7029]

They should be able to make rules like that… that’s like getting new tires on your car and the tire shop saying you’re not allowed to check the torque on the wheels with a torque wrench you’re only allowed to use a open end wrench to see if your wheel is actually tight lol

[@richard09able]

The attorney general & better business breaue should look into this. They basically don’t want an inspection and are trying to force you hand to technically hide thier building errors but get “an inspection “ at the same time

That sounds like the driveway warranty. Once KB leaves the driveway, you're on your own.

Seems like they paid off their attorneys a good amount of money to keep their shady building habits going.

[@quantumquestions5849]

Sounds like no one should be buying any home from those TYPE BUILDERS.
