Just wanting to go over some of the main points since you're out of town and not able to see these areas in person. Phase 2 construction inspection of home in the framing stage performed by Casey of Constructiva Realty Inspections.
My mind is blown away by this craftsmanship!!
All these home are going to have problems in the near and far future. Great videos! Thank you for exposing what bad work looks like to homeowners.
This home owner finally made a right decision to hire this inspector in the entire build.... I hope he/she reads these comments
This might be my new favorite UA-cam rabbit-hole to fall down
Burn it and start over! Shame on everyone that touched this structure. SHAME!
How will this structure and even be repaired in the future? There is nothing solid to attach the repairs to!!!
This can't be real. Wow. Just Wow.
Your either very young or live in Japan.
@@weekendwarrior3420 Live in Michigan, i haven't see a post Covid build, but even the track house specials are done better. Not much better, but better.
WTF
@@weekendwarrior3420 I've been in residential construction all my life and I've never seen such shoddy work be so pervasive through a whole site.
I'm not sure what State this is but boy, that's some shotty construction!
Around Austin TX area. Pathetic construction going on for sure. What a joke.
Absolutely horrible
bert - shoDDy . 😎
Im currently preparing for an entry level building inspector position. Seeing videos like this that show and explain defects as apposed to just showing perfect passing (inspection) videos has really helped reinforce my current understanding and knowledge. Thanks.
Oh nice, man I hope you do well on your tests and enjoy the work! Lord knows there aren't enough of us to go around.
I’m GC my own house build currently and have been second guessing myself the entire way. While I’m probably over thinking things, this video makes me feel 10x better lol. If this is house builders build homes, I’m glad I’m doing it myself….
this is a cheap quote framer. professionals do it right but cost more
Some people have shame in being a slack but this builder seems to have pride for their slack 😂
The city building inspector is getting paid off.
Not Likely, however shame on the Builder and the Trades. You can’t assume every guy that wears a Tool Bag knows what he is doing.lol and that goes for who ever the tract Superintendent is as well.
Where are all these bad contractors?! Dang! They should be brought up on charges of impersonating a builder!
He works in the Greater Austin area. They're expanding in every direction there, demand is high so they just keep pumping out homes.
that house needs to be entirely re-wrapped. terrible work
Re-wrapped? I wouldn't trust the underlying framing! They're missing fasteners all over the place, have fractured multiple structural trusses, and have butchered other structural elements all over the building.
"...and they're all made from ticky-tacky..."
Thanks for keeping your eyes out for us.
haha, little boxes!
Um...that's sheathing!?
Crazy some states allow pretty much cardboard as sheathing lol
I came to name the same comment... What in the blank is going on?? Who's allowing this sh$#t??? It actually makes me angry and it's not even my house
Yup. fancy cardboard
When we remove siding on homes due to rot, we always add new OSB then vapor barrier before Hardie siding.
Horrific. That builder is learning on the job and using the worst, cheapest, most under- engineered materials. Possible also that the weather wrap has exceeded the time it's allowed to go exposed without cladding.
I'd fire that builder, tear off that wrap, and reframe whole sections. But really, looks to me like that entire structure should perhaps just be razed. It is a disaster.
Yeah! Go kmg4374 go!!! I hope you meant the foundation too.
I doubt they can fire the builder. Looks like the subdivision is being built by a developer. And jeez those houses are close together. With all that paper siding, the whole neighborhood will go up like a tinder box.
That's not even house wrap, that's the exterior sheathing.
Good informative video. Thanks. Keep a very close eye on your drywall contractor too. Substandard WORK is almost standard in that trade. ( been in drywall contracting for 43 years ). When its done right drywall is perfectly fine and durable.
careful and conscientious inspectors can save a homeowner form a slew of future nightmares . some people get perturbed thinking they are being over zealous and want the building process to hurry up .don't do it . let the inspector find every possible mistake and force the contractor to make the corrections.
i had a block/ lock house built in germany seven years ago and realized the contractor was attempting to cheat . my wife didn't know what was going on but being a retired builder i did but could not speak Deutsche . so,we hired a private inspection company that evoked terror into the builder and saved us thousands .
WELL DONE!
How are these people allowed to continue to build anything bigger than a garden shed? Most of what is in this video is wilful neglect. Those trusses were not missed. They just thought that they could get buy with it. They know if it needs 8 nails, you don't put just 3 or 4. I can only imagine what covered up.
Well it’s good to know they the shoddy work done by RV manufactures is spilling over to the housing industry
Wow, so many things gone wrong with this home. Really appreciate the heads up on things to look for!!! Amazing.
I’m thinking that tub was recessed for a curbless shower. But man they tore that exterior wall up bad.
I’d back out of the deal…not buying it bye.
This was a year ago but gosh darnett I would be terrified if I was the owner of this newly built house... This is a scary build.
Awesome evaluations by Casey. Sadly showing especially with developments throwing up many houses at once and cutting costs where ever they can. Hard to believe these all get fixed before the city signs off on them. Also the lack of ability of those doing the work due to no skills out there anymore.
Thanks man
I saw the problem with the sheeting.....the instructions were in English...
@@rodrod383 😂
Is the builder obligated to repair these discrepancies? If not, the home owner would be wise to keep a copy of this video for any pending law suits.
I cant believe that code allows using cardboard as sheathing. That builder should be run out of town.
Right! Cardboard instead of OSB? I've never seen this before. I have so many questions!
@@jmmichael188 I’ve only seen this before on pictures of houses ripped apart by mild storms 😂 looks like these are the houses that happens too
I have never seen sheathing like that. What a joke.
Is that cardboard sheathing?
yup paper with images :)) so sad
I recognize these sheets from when I worked for NASA, they developed them to protect secret equipment, and then gave the recipe to the masses so we finally can have something for the billions we keep giving them.
I'm impressed you spotted all of these. What about the things you didn't spot??
Thats what E and O insurance is for. Good inspectors want to catch 100% of all major defects and 98% of all minor defects. Its not hard. It just takes time. Make sure your inspector is taking his time and doing his due diligence.
The overcuts on the stringers oh my god
come on now that was nothing on the busted up trusses....like the delivery truck stopped off at a smash up derby on the way there
It appears the sheathing has been exposed to the elements for an extended period of time. This "builder" must be building several houses at once. Sadly, unless the other houses are inspected in the same fashion, most of this will be covered by siding to be dealt with by the owner after move-in.
and the instructions were in English
There is no way that sheathing is structurally rated it looks like panel board people put in basement
Damnnnnnnnnnnnnn. You need to rate the contractor. 5 outta 10? Need some kind of system to gage how bad all this is. I’m building my own shed and I didn’t fill all the holes in the hangers 😂. I guess I’ll go back and do it. Hahahah. Great job
You have to follow the manufacturer recommendations for hangers not all need holes all the time.
i woldnt pay for that construction-- so bad
6:42 Besides the crack in the truss, there's no support on that rafter just behind it. It has no hanger, isn't angle cut well and has no supporting nails.
This is scary. You can run into wall and fly out through the cardboard, which I assume will rot out just like wood sheathing does but a lot faster? Tiny fresh wood trusses are scary too - a couple of roof changes and they will turn into mush from roof nails.
Having a house built right now. Great info. This builder should loose their license if they even have one.
Mistakes are common, most get corrected, few actually become problems. City inspection will have multi-page correction sheets that will be double checked before the house is signed off on.
i hate that sheathing stuff. just give me osb or plywood. we even use drywall up here and so many people dont know how to install it. wont surprise me if those houses fall down in the future. ill be building my own house with how things have been going these last few years haha.
I built a fort in the woods next to the house I grew up in when I was about 8-9 years old. It was more structurally sound and waterproof than this...
There is absolutely nothing salvageable about this house. It would be insulting to the match to burn this heap of trash. It would be criminal to give an occupancy permit.
And notice the growth of weeds in the yards, this whole development has been sitting for a long time. I'd almost think the builder abandoned it and isn't going to fix anything.
@@mrcryptozoic817 I noticed the weeds to in August in the central Texas area it should not be hard to keep them down unless they had massive rains
Unfortunately with the vast number of lightly skilled labor flooding across our border, these issues are only going to get more prevalent. Honest supervision and the rewards of higher pay for quality work along with language barrier solutions is all that will save production building...don't see that happening anytime soon. There is a housing shortage and throw them up quick...pretty sad.
Why does is matter if that sheathing is properly fastened? Its junk anyways. I think thats kinda the mindset of the installers
Wait, is that a cardboard sheathing? No osb board or something similar?
WOW thats unacceptable quality
Not sure about that header at the beginning
ive never seen shit work like that ....none of that would fly here in LA
Yall got tighter standards on the west coast. Indeed, here most tract home builders choose quantity over quality.
This is wild
Dude, you are a shotty-builder's worst nightmare. Glad you're there, looking out for the future homeowners and the banks who loan them money. The builder responsible for this little fiasco should stick to building sand-castles with kids at the beach.
I wish they would ban cardboard sheathing.
Looks like the original builder abandoned the site a long time ago.
How is your siding going to lay flat over that crap??
Time to get out the paintball gun to Mark all of the issues! ✌🏻🇺🇸
oh my god...
Unbelievable, I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if I was in charge of that build! And seriously stop using cardboard as structure sheathing, thank god that’s not a thing in my area
Thanks for this video
What is with this cardboard sheeting? 3/4 floor 1/2 wall 5/8 roof cdx should minimum.
Believe it or not, the cardboard sheathing is rated equivalent to 7/16 OSB if you add enough nails!
@@constructivainspections It all sounds like plant based meat to me. A substitute for something real.
@@dukenukem5753 hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
any follow-up on these homes???
Wowza what do these houses run when completed and all this is hidden🤔
400,000-600,000
@@latemodelclassics yikes 😱 that’s a lot of money for such poor craftsmanship
People keep on buying them up. They see granite countertops and fresh paint and get all giddy.
You forgot stainless appliances, a nest thermostat and some other tech gadgets! Haha
Yes, but "that" is not craftsmanship @psyfusion
I'm enjoying your videos but I have to watch in small doses. It can be too much all at once!
The helper did it
I wouldn't worry about the shething. That stuff is worthless when properly installed.
Thanks Casey! Explaining why it will not pass and being so observant. We are learning so much from you thank you so much! 🙏🙏🇨🇦☺ Unbelievable sloppy builder.....again!!!!! Yikes!
People pay a LOT of money for a house, and they have a right to expect quality. God bless you John 14:6
Now just remember that a majority of ppl don't even bother hiring outside inspectors, literally all homes built in the last few years I would be verrrrrrrry careful buying any of them. Honestly, I don't even think I would consider them sadly because once the home is fully built only time will tell how bad a job was done, its not like you can tear of the siding to see, oh hey look all the tape is curled up.
I have a 1945 house & I have lived in it for 25 years. I'm frightened to buy anything built in the last 10 years since weed became legal
This is why most builders don't want the customers to look at the house before the sheet rock and siding go on. With the way this house looks even a amateur could see the problems. I would walk away from this builder.
That's cardboard not sheathing
I hated working residential construction because of this type of things. Where's the pride and craftsmanship?
Cheap flashing tape or it's been exposed to the sun too long
Wow these housing are junk
Literally cardboard 😳
Wood holding top window
Wow...
The build quality on these slap and dash homes is just pathetic and it makes me want to go with a factory built house over a site built house to minimize these types of issues. Like trucking, it seems the construction industry has gone into the toilet: you pay crap you get crap. I love seeing these videos so I know what to watch out for.
My goodness dude. I was a little annoyed buying an old house because of all the updating I had to do, but at least older houses are structurally sound. These new spec houses are AWFUL. Unbelievably bad workmanship, literal cardboard for sheathing, massive holes making any standard of airtightness completely impossible, etc. 😳
A bad builder saves fasteners = more profit over the long run Eh !
OMG
Dang, and someone paid for that
It’s amazing that people doing this important work have absolutely zero knowledge on how to properly do it. Some of this can be timing…they manage to do one thing right and too much time passes and weather and people do damage
What region is this? I've never seen such poor work on such a scale!
central Texas.....producto de Mexico
What region is this?
This is down in central Texas.
What a slopped together home,I would never buy that house even if its fixed.
I've seen sloppy work before but this was just corner cutting work on already cut corners with several skipped steps.
This Place should be condemned ... but sadly the people moving in would be grateful for getting away from the $1,200 per month slum-apartment they live in.
You have issues with your structural cardboard 😂
So much bad stuff. They should have furred out that range hood wall with a secondary 2x3 wall in front. It would have been much easier than the disastrous garbage they did. That tub base is awful.
Everyone complains about over regulation of building inspections,,,, well, this is what you get when you cut back on regulations… so stop complaining….
What a terrifying disaster!! And someone is likely paying a heckuva lot of hard-earned money for this shoddy mess. Disgraceful
This will be someone's home and they don't care. Sad.
So trash, even using Thermoply as well. Could have just bought a mobile home and it would laster longer.
Once again, lipstick on a pig. That's the only beautiful thing about this home. It is a total failure of the builder to build a proper home for the client. Why is it they feel it's ok to do such shoddy work. I am going to have a hard time sleeping tonight thinking about these homes. It would be really nice to see a follow up inspection, would love to know if the future owners were able to get any traction with the builders.
Where does a homeowner find an inspector like you who knows code requirements and construction to come in during the various stages of construction? My impression of the home inspectors I’ve hired (at realtor’s recommendation) for home purchases are not as thorough and detailed as you. It would seem that inspecting at the pre-drywall stage requires more knowledge and expertise than inspecting a completed house. No? I’m looking at building in an unincorporated area where there are no required municipal type inspections or even inspectors at the county level.
Ya gotta do your research. Most inspectors will have a sample report to look at. You can see there if they cite the standards. I have a page that explains some of the important characteristics of my report and explain to the person reading the importance of those said standards.
Just got to do your research my man.
"Refasten" the sheathing? That cardboard sheathing is worthless. Replace it with something substantial, not refasten! What a joke!
Wtf is it with carpenters over there? And how do you break a truss? Is it untrained carpenters? Uncertified? I hate going back to houses after they're finished so i do them properly in first case. You guys need stricter controls on what you call a tradesman. Also you gussets are too small. And truss manufacturers need their licences revoked
I think the most common way trusses are broken is when they are pulled off the truck. They don't unstack them one by one, oh no. They tie the stack to a rope and the truck pulls away yanking the whole mountain of trusses off in one place. The bottom few often get so banged up they need repairs.
@@constructivainspections thats on who ever is in charge on site
That place is absolutely terrible... the paper sheathing is also a worst practices material. Sad that someone is going to make that place their biggest asset.
Unbelievable. No pride whatsoever.
horrible construction, pathetic materials, total junk for a house. tail light warranty
Lol. Building inspectors 😂😂
Wow. Terrible
Yeah... so... thats cardboard.
Put all the lipstick you want on that piggy but....I would be disappointed with that home within 30 days of purchase. Very, very poor workmanship. Or workwomanship.
Horrible construction by a horrible builder and subs. These houses are already hovels. People are getting screwed when they buy these dumps.
Hack job.
