Redid our bathroom. Found beer cans in the walls. There was a dead space in the wall to accommodate a standard dimension tub/shower. Fine. They didn't finish the ceiling above the dead space, so our insulation to the attic (which is vented) was 3/8" of drywall. There was no insulation in the outside wall behind the tub. The tile could be taken up with a screwdriver; it was held together by gravity.
When I had my house built I remember telling the contractors that I was going to be very strict about a right to inspect clause that would require them to redo anything that didn't meet an independent inspectors criteria and that they'd probably hate me by the time we were done UNLESS they demanded the same standards from their workers that they'd want in their own home. If you wouldn't allow sub-contractors and workers to throw their trash under your deck, don't let them do it to mine! The inspector found oh so many shortcuts they'd taken that they figured no one would see because it would either be hidden under the final veneer or would last long enough that they could claim it wasn't them who did it improperly, like hiring day workers from a Home Depot parking lot to install the roofing shingles and letting them use standard nails instead of roofing nails. Even caught them trying to bury about 500 pounds of left over materials in the front yard (brick, lumber cutoffs, rubbish) because they figured I'd never be doing anything besides planting grass and the occasional tree. But try trenching for sprinklers or a retaining wall and run into a half pallet of brick they'd buried because they A) didn't want to admit they'd over ordered and give a credit to me and/or B) didn't want to bother with what to do with the excess. Solution? Bury it in the client's yard!
If the stuff you can see is that bad, what about the things you can't see? If that was supposed to be my house I'd walk away, and get the downpayment back.
I was a project manager for a tiling company over 6 subdivisions. I'm not a home inspector but when people buy track homes I tell them go to a neighborhood where that builder is framing and walk it. Left my company and hope and trying to figure out my ways to become a home inspector as gahhh kills me a home is your biggest investment but trash home. Love your channel TJ Watt

I'm guessing the general contractor didn't pay the flooring people worth a shit. From the way it looks the plumber and elections didn't have a license. The garage door was probably done intentionally to prevent break in. I'd pull that fake brick off on check the framing for code.
Thanks for the video. Wow, this is deplorable. What happened to a job well done? Doing the best you can do? Such shoddy workmanship, and it's only on what one CAN see. There has to be shortcuts on things one CAN'T see also. I, for one, would let them know I have a top notch inspector coming in before okaying the house. This would not pass on so many levels.
99% of all new construction built by national builders fall in line quality with what you see in the video. At least that’s my experience in the market I’m in.
Blame the building inspector (their primary legal oversight) for all the code issues. The towel bar should have been caught in ur final preclose walkthrough. The grage door was on release. Thats just general practice so u dont give the subs the code to the door that u may or may not change when u take possession of the home which im gusseing wasnt until after u filmed this video. Moral of the story: READ AND UNDERSTAND ur fucking warranty before u sign/initial every page. Research ur builder thoroughly. Dont piss and moan to the world because ur 750k new construction build wasn't as "perfect" as u expected

The contractor's motto must be "Do your best, then calk the rest!"

Have you ever submitted an inspection report with just "NO" written across it?
Lol nah
Wouldn't that be funny? They get a report that just has "NO. JUST... NO!" written in bold red letters on the front. LOL
How about, "TRY AGAIN"?
This is literally every house in every overpriced subdivision in the country. A fool and their money will soon be parted.

Yup, It's called a punch list.

Also seeing nails missing in those deck joist hangers. Garage handrail not graspable either. Gaps in stair risers.

The garage door and the water heater part are just embarrassing
I believe the water heater is not in code.

That's so scary that people buy new properties like that sometimes 😕

You hit new front page on Imgur today! Greetings from there to here and a new sub.
That's a lengthy punch list. The fixes will cost them more.
Love it . Its workmanship like this that get a handyman $$$ lined pockets.
Tell me it is not a single house, but a collection from many…
My word. Where is this hacked up house located?
Is this all the same house!?
Where is this and how much it cost this house ?
He said one million dollars.
@@bigredc222 Actually he says "half a million dollars".
Half a million he says it at the beginning of the video.
Good, fast and cheap. Pick two.
