Prepare yourself for one of our most jaw-dropping episodes yet! In what becomes our longest video to date, we document a supposed handover that turned into an exposé of astonishing negligence in home construction.
🏠 The Handover That Wasn't: Imagine paying the final invoice, expecting to walk into your dream home, only to be met with a scenario that's nothing short of a disaster. The homeowner's experience underscores the vital need for meticulous inspections, as the final product was riddled with issues from top to bottom.
🚫 No Supervisor, No Standards: The site supervisor's absence at our scheduled inspection was just the beginning. What we found on-site was a shocking display of poor workmanship: atrocious painting, uncleaned rooms still filled with construction debris, dangerously exposed cables, and non-compliant waterproofing efforts that jeopardized the entire structure.
🎨 A Cautionary Tale: This video serves as a powerful warning to all homeowners about the risks of skipping a detailed final inspection. The findings here are among the worst we've encountered, highlighting how critical it is to ensure every aspect of the construction meets the highest standards before making that final payment.
👀 Eye-Opening Insights: Dive deep with us as we uncover every corner of this poorly handed-over home. Witness firsthand the consequences of neglect and poor management in building practices.
📣 Your Role in Change: By watching and sharing this video, you help spread the message about the importance of thorough inspections. Your engagement is crucial in advocating for better standards in the construction industry.
👍 Support and Subscribe: If you value the insights we bring to light, please like, share, and subscribe. Your support enables us to continue uncovering these important stories, ensuring future homeowners can avoid similar pitfalls.

As a lawyer, I cant emphasise this enough: NEVER hand over money until you are satisfied with the job. Once you hand over the money your leverage goes out the window and youre reduced to asking them to fix things: which they may or they may not. Once they have the money, you're at the mercy of their good will or the mercy of people like me. Either way, thats not a good position to be in and youre probably about to spend a lot more money that you didnt budget on spending. If you dont know how to tell if the job is acceptable get it inspected by a professional BEFORE you hand over the money. It might seem like an unnecessary cost but its not: its insurance well spent.

@@samgiamarelos4524 Its actually not that obvious. Did you watch the video? Did you not hear the bit where the owner said he paid the builder's invoice and had taken handover of the house? He's now got to rely on either the goodwill of the builder or legal action to get all those problems fixed. Whereas, if he hadnt paid, he could just have said, fix it and I'll pay, and the builder suddenly has a cashflow problem the builder has to resolve. Let me put it this way: there are LOTS of lawyers in Australia. And their businesses trundle along because things like this - for whatever reason - ARENT OBVIOUS to most people. You wouldnt know, because youre not a lawyer. Which means you are not exposed to the river of concentrated stupidity that keeps law firms - and our courts and tribunals - busy.

@wobblyboost 2 месяца назад
I believe we had such a system for reserving final payment in temporary trust and the inspector had to be a council employee that couldn't have any familial or business ties to the builders. Then in the 90s, they allowed builders to provide their own inspectors and they never advise clients they are allowed to choose their own like they are supposed to by law. Now over 70% of new builds have water ingress, black mold and structural problems detected in first 3 years.

I am genuinely scared - my wife and I are in the process of building our first home in Perth and I can't stop watching these videos. We don't know anything about building or what the Australian Standards are - we put our faith into the people employed by the building company to do the job to, at the very least, the AS. So many people no longer have pride in their work and the name of the game is to get things done as quickly as possible and move on to the next. I would rather my build take 2 years and know that it is not only compliant, but the builder and EVERY person who worked on my house could stand back and say "I am proud to put my name to this". I have employed an external building inspector, but again, it is someone I need to have faith in to do a complete job (in other words "the job that I am paying them for"). How do I know the inspector will do this? Do I need to have an inspector to watch over the inspector? At nearly 60 years of age, this is supposed to be our "forever" home, but seeing some of the issues that are brought to light by this gentleman, makes me start to rethink the idea of owning.

Also a painter. Kinda confused on how this happened. At first I thought it was dirty roller, but its far too much sand and the spider webs means it was sprayed. So if it was spray how did that much debris get on the wall. Spackle dust maybe, but its everywhere not just joints. Im thinking its a bunch of things. Spackle and maybe someone was cutting molding while spraying, leaving fine dust everywhere. Gonna be a bigger job to remedy then paint. I have a really good system for cleaning prior. I bought a mop that has a 18" microfiber cloth. Wet it will clean the walls and dry it dusts off spackle. I have about a dozen of microfiber cloth mop heads so I swap them as soon as they dirty then wash them in a machine. I could clean all those walls in a one story in about 15 minutes with my system.

Been through our legal system myself and even though I won, I was left with 400k of legal expenses and since we couldn’t trade whilst the court case was active (it was a bogus copyright case), my company lost millions in contracts which were awarded to the company that took me to court. Yes I could have kept fighting, but I would have been up for a heck of a lot more and I had already sold my house to cover the court costs. The legal system is not designed to protect you, it is designed to protect companies which lobby the politicians. It is 100% corruption… but since the politicians make the law, it’s not illegal and hence not correct.

If you win then legal expenses should be covered or if it was settled out of court then your legal expenses should have been part of the settlement (assuming you 'won' the settlement). If you weren't able to operate due to the copyright claim (I'm not sure how that would apply) then neither would the other party, the court wouldn't impose something like that without good reason. It sounds to me like there was a lot more going on than you wanted to tell OR they decided it wasn't worth forcing the case to the end so decided to let you settle OR you were losing the case so you wanted to settle. Copyright law is generally pretty straight forward.

@@retsaMinnavoiG we won, they conceded I did not copy their software. We did not receive costs because we settled. Had we not settled, they said they would drag it out in court for years. The settlement was simply a letter from them saying we did not copy their software. So we won without getting costs. Copyright law is tricky. Had they won their case against us, they could have then pursued claims against our customers suing for a percentage profit of the finished item. Since the finished items were huge… things that generated 1-2million a day profit. Hence we could not trade. No company was going to buy our product and risk exposure like that. Oh, and it got worse, they (allegedly) stole a copy of our software whilst it was in the custody of their expert witness. It turns out that the Supreme Court of Australia can order me to hand over my software under their protection, but the Supreme Court has no prosecutor powers and hence, I would have had to pay to prosecute them for the theft. Technically the AFP, should have launched an investigation but they were not interested. I hope that helps explain 🙂

@@marzp9841 totally agreed with you.with tradies shortage, the government should have made TAFE courses free and encouraged new generation or older unemployed to pick up trades and decently pay them so they can survive in the world. I went to TAFE in 1982 as a mature aged student but got less money to go to TAFE than unemployment benefit. There was no incentive nor encouragement from the government to make it attractive for anybody to improve themselves. This country system makes people lazy and victimised a decent hard working people with high taxes and stupid spending on what is not needed.

Short answer, & maybe surprised to know, Minimal Recourse, so much going on, in 2006, 300000 cases thru VCAT. So YEARS delay, all costly consultants reports, andcso delayed bad practioner warning listing. A cashcow for lawyers who make minimised agreements with their mate opposition lawyers. And with VCAT's policy to educate non complying businesses, Minimal payouts awarded. And the Building Warranty Insurance, last instead of first resort, and so many outs, refusing compensation, even after VCAT action judges builder and/or surveyor/inspector liable, Choice has called it a Junk Product All paid for by everybody! In 3 years then, a $6 Billion Loss to Home Buyers. And then to repair, try finding again, quality builders to fix, people left to repair their "fully signed off" homes 3 &,4 times over!

I am a construction manager & I find it difficult to understand when I did a recent reno on my own home that there was no provision for the owner to retain approx.10% for any defect rectification. I have this on projects that are less than a standard house built cost which is one of, if not the largest, financial outlay made by an individual or family,. The standard house contract does not have provision for any retention. For me that's a problem b/c if you pay out the entire amount at hand-over you have no leverage. I was lucky & I had a fantastic builder & all defects were rectified quickly.

Is this video a re-upload? Anyway Roof tiler here, Tilers have laid the drop gable the ‘lazy way’ to avoid cutting a short corse into the spout. The first and second corse on the drop down will likely break if walked on, due to having far to much overlap / cover. The proper way is to mark down at the minimum allowed mark and cut the first corse to fit. Looks much better. The Anti-Ponding board has been cut to allow installation around safety rail. I’m assuming proper sarking tape should have been used to seal cut areas as I’m unsure how you would provide or allow overlap. Other than that pissa job boys. Roof filers still give a fuck and shit on every trade.

Everything the private certifier found problems with never got fixed and certifier never came back.

You building contract should have clear milestone payments, that are released to the builder upon successful acceptance by independent certification. Also, must have a significant hold-over payment that's payable upon acceptance. Much harder to chase builders to fix defects when they've got all of your money. There's also very little appetite after a horror build for a further protracted legal fight. Perhaps a video on how home owners can protect themselves during the build process.
