The Ultimate Guide to Navigating the Bad Builders Register
Wow. Just....wow. There are certain things with a dodgy build that only experienced eyes can detect, but this piece of sh!t house has problems Blind Freddy could see 😳
Bean tiling four 20 years. A professional will not do it. As you don't know the integrity of the tiles underneath can create problems down the line.. but yes you can do it d.i.y .
Looks like Bloody Garbage Concrete did this for Bloody Garbage Construction.
We built a new home 2 years ago... i was amazed how many of the sub contractors - brickies, painters, chippies were heavy smoking, heavy drinking and also drug addicts... only the electrician was totally above board
This channel is both fascinating and depressing, being a West Australian new home owner....😮
Why would the builder continue to paint the inside if out of money. Have you even read contracts specifically outlining conditions about lockup? Have you ever built a house? Or is your career just inspections? Can’t believe you go around filming shit like this
@@Travis-k1b built load brother, want some addresses let me know
And notice the rust on those I beams, I'd specify galvanised especially if near the coast
If anyone wants to know who this tiler is private message me…..
Where are they getting these bricklayers from????
Lol it falls the wrong way!
No insurance company will cover long term deterioration. It has taken 6 years for the waterproofing to fail, therefore it is long term deterioration and ultimate failure of the waterproofing, regardless of they're membrane or not. Additionally the workmanship is extremely poor. It has not happened from a single event, that is why insurance won't cover it. It's the same as saying they should cover the rusted box gutter... which they never will
In Australia we don't say caulking, we say silastic (which is a common brand name), silicone, or just sealant.
Please identify the company so that us as potential clients can avoid the same headaches
WOAH😮
Really good to see some positive stuff and showing how thing are meant to be done.
Over seas tradies I bet
Cowboy Grano workers scamming the owner and making it impossible for a good finished outcome. Substandard in the extreme.
It’s not exposed aggregate it’s been ground after hence all the control joints now virtually non existent it’s a very bad quality job
Looks like my mates courtyard laid by a concrete company based in Mindarie area, very poor work....
If you can’t name and shame can you do a top tier list of the best in your opinion ?
Is that what is Lake Coogee now? Muppet bricklayer, builder is as useful as a fly wire door on a submarine.
Hey mate, What is your name so I know who I can get you as my inspector when I am building which is coming soon 😁👍🏽
Which part was the explosion?
the house before we arrived.
How could the guy who built this be called a tradesman bricklayer? About time Builders Supervisor Board or similar closes these people maskerading as builders down, it's down right dangerous & some😢 poor bugger has most probably poured their lifesaving into this job ,it not right. More progressive inspection needed in this industry.
Glad I don't have any plans to move to Perth in the near future.
These builders need to be named.
What do you mean should you expose them? are you promoting yourself or trying to make a difference to an industry in desperate need of help!
If i recall correctly the "standard" MBA building contract in WA (for builds below a certain value) used to have no reference to the Australian Standards. I had to add the requirement amongst other omissions before signing our contract. Building inspections were performed at key stages through the build which helped pick up items that would otherwise have been hidden. To their credit the builder addressed all the issues in the reports. In hindsight I should have organised a separate inspection of the cabling and electrical fittings. Don't assume the builder knows whet they are doing or that the tradies are following the plans, if you see something that looks wrong ask the supervisor and if necessary engage an inspector for a written report. I can only feel the stress and frustration of the owner in the video being at this stage after three and a half years. I hope you sort them out. Y
TPO is a superior material to this sh1t metal you guys use. In the US, we use that style on barns and sheds, not higher end homes.
Crazy bad job. Keep them honest mate. Ur doing a great job!
saw a million of these back in the boom when i was delivering cement to sites. wonder how many will be standing in 40 yrs
Can you show us something you have built for comparison
Sure, what part? Roof frame? Walls? PCI? Wanna join me on site? Wanna see certain clips where things are done correctly that are common faults? Happy to oblige.
@@steveferguson5307 did you want to reply? Or were you just poking a stick to see if I could not deliver?
All jokes aside,Why won’t you and all the other building inspectors expose these bodgy builders so we can all be aware to stay away from them . Inspectors and councillors need these people gone. Someone’s dream is going to be shattered. I know we need more homes but not built like this. I’m disgusted that they can trade.
@@gabrielfranco6112 pm me and I’ll tell you - don’t wanna publicly name
BGC 🤣🤣🤣
Name and Shame.
@@SteveJory pm me and I’ll tell you - don’t wanna publicly name
Looks like the concrete was placed by a herd of elephants
As a bricky with my own buisness I do hate schooners, but that is bloody horrible! No wire ties or attempt reinforcing! But at the same time the builder let it slide
Does the roof look shit? Yes. Will the roof leak? Yes. Will the roof collapse like the thumbnail text says... No, it won't.
That's not exposed aggregate. It's a really poor attempt at terrazzo. That will be a huge mess to make good.
Zero fucks given by the tradespeople
Ja boet wys die bliksems hoe sleg is hulle.
My mate's Dad was a bricklayer in the 70's & 80's who built his own house. He recently inherited the house & promptly moved in. After 50 years there were no issues with it besides needing a lick of new paint here and there. Roof with terracotta tiles has no leaks, and the brickwork is immaculate, double brick and looks like it was just completed. His old man had very high standards, was taught well, and always said to remember one day a family will live in that house & it's their biggest investment so build it well as if you're going to live in it. He was of the "old school" and a wonderful and loved fella. I miss him heaps.
Clearly not an Italian or Greek concreter then. What a dog’s breakfast that is.
The banks should not approve payment to anyone.
It is heart breaking for the owners. What can be done to rectify all this?
I’m in Beechboro wa In a brand new building. Already got problems. Such shonky workmanship. It’s disgusting how much they don’t do. Got some big bills coming to replace and repair. Builder won’t do it. Their mistake but our problem and cost. There should be stronger regulations on builders. We have loads of little bits of blue tape in every room.

This work is a bloody disgrace. How can any tradesmen be proud of this substandard work......possibly" I couldn't spell tradesman now I is one" .The old reason old mate was upset is because you called out his shit work & his ego got bruised. Well done calling out this crap because this type of work might give all tradies a bad name.
Builder should have his licence cancelled
Name and shame this pos
