Tree farm pine... heavily fertilized, grows fast, splits even faster! Stagnant subcontractor & labor wages will keep good carpenters away from tract home builders!
Looking like a crew of carpenters that didn't care about the quality of workmanship they put out !! Some people just don't take pride in their craft !! You can still make a good profit & put out quality workmanship
Totally true especially the PVC through the studs. No oversight by the builder if he went to inspection with that crap. Also lumber and two by boards these days are maybe 60% of them are true, and straight. You have to make the supplier take back the garbage or hand pick it. Most every house built today is using cheap labor fraught with communication problems on various levels. Your manager has to be bi-lingual.
A building trades class at the junior high school level could do a better job. At least the plumber left some wood. I've seen studs they've completely destroyed in order to run pipe.
I've seen some crap work in the DC area but never anyhting that bad. That looks like it was done on purpose by some pissed off HACK. You have to work at screwing something up that bad. All Those Joists need to be sistered with actual good lumber. Those pipes need to be removed run correctly down the bay and then dropped to the basement. All those drilled 2x4s need replacing. House wrap? People still use that. Go back wrap the House in aluminum double bubble. You'll cut 50% off the heating and cooling bill. If I owned that place I'd call the Local Authorities and have the Contractor charged with fraud and get as much money back as you can.
Do you hand these reports to the new owners so they can go after the builder? A family friend had a French Chateau built in 1992 ... probably about $4 million dollars today. The builder took him outside and asked what he thought of the slate roof. The family friend said it looked fine to him... then the builder pointed out the issue and said he was going to fix it. It's too bad that seems to be the price point not to have a shit quality build. With open borders, I wonder if quality will go up or down with the new labor force. I had a friend buy a house in Texas two years ago, maybe the 400k range. They went to replace the carpets. Whatever illegals built the house, they put razor blades in the carpet which cut her husband.
@@Direct_Home_Inspections What if this is a spec home? Who is supposed to make sure things are done right? Thats why the inspector should make the contractor correct the problems before they can continue. Otherwise someone is going to buy a piece of crap home with little or no recourse!! And yes, I see this happen all the time!!
At 36 second mark that is not a lap, that is where they failed to pull the paper tight and it had a wrinkle so they stapled it over itself to lay flat.
This is the result of the “New Construction workforce” now in this country.when 90% of the labor force is from 3rd world countries your gonna get hack work like that. They build with mud and shit that washes up on the beach they aren’t skilled craftsmen. Some here long enough to be taught some skills are getting better but for the most part-when I show up on a job site communication is impossible and there’s nobody with experience supervising.Builders are still getting sick money for shit built houses buttered up with tons of caulking to divert attention away from defects.
Central American framers. Same problem around here. Walking through homes that are under construction after church this is all we see. Absolute s**t construction. 7th graders could do better.
Absolute garbage craftsmanship. Unfortunately, this is common. Putting large holes in studs like that is something I've seen on youtube videos. I commented on one guy's video about how he shouldn't do that, and he just deleted my comment. Smh.
Haha there is a reason 98% of people in construction have 0 formal training. They are wiring houses in a morning now and just having one licensed electrician look over it. Quality is only getting worse.
