- Welcome to Site Inspections! In this video, we take you on a frame stage inspection in Kalkallo.
Our TikTok Inspector, who has a significant following on social media, shows you what to look for in a building inspection at this crucial stage of construction.
While there were no major defects found, there were a number of non-compliant items that are common in frame inspections. By sharing this footage, we hope to help you learn what to look out for in your own frame inspections.

Thanks for spending the time to explain why your findings are non-compliant. Keep it up. We need people like you.
Agreed. This is (unfortunately) exceptional work in his detailed comment. This is a great learning tool and he is an excellent conveyor of information 👌🏻
In the process of engaging a builder. These videos are extremely helpful. Great work 👏
Doing gods work my man
The work you do is not only great but more than amazing
Makes you wonder how many do get through other "inspections"..
Very interesting as always. One can tell by the comments the people who are being paid to do a job and the people who will have to live with the job afterwards.
On second thought, let's get this man 20 million subscribers!!!!
Great work!!!!
You should do a video on quality work
These video's are mighty. Can you do follow up video's on rectification works? Where the timber frame overhangs the slab, the engineer recommends structural grout. On face value, the structural grout seems cosmetic, how does this improve support of the timber frame over the frames lifetime?
Sometimes engs recommend to install 140x35 or 140x45 with chemset anchor. Some do install 10mm galvanized metal plate.
This man deserves to be a multi millionaire.
On the otherhand, the framers need to go back to their daily jobs building fences 😂
You a framer?
@@kamekazi1123 I plead the 5th
Should build a house and let me come and inspect your work
So much to check with a timber frame, I would also check that they spanned things correctly as many simply do not know how to use AS1684 if they know what it even is in the first place. Another good thing to check is wind direction A and B bracing.
This is the work of qualified tradies, yet if you are an owner builder that takes pride in your work you have to jump through more hoops.
👍👍👍
I wonder if any carpenter in Australia follows the nail depth rule.
Great work!
Q. Should the wing wall at the entry be on an upstand nib so the brick weep holes can work?
How come the inspection is done before the roof battens and electrical rough in?
I think the best thing possible right now.... with rental availability at 1.1%, amid a housing crisis.....homeless rates through the roof!!
Is make a living mashing the few tradies we got!!!!
Put your knowledge to good use and build someone a home PERFECTLY.....
Trusses suck. As the material seasons the mending plates start to loosen and the material will warp and pop the mending plates. I might be one summer or 5. Ive been in many attics 20 years later and the trusses have popped the plates all over the roofing structure
Can you follow up on the non compliance. Or is it just keep on building and the owners problem later down the years.
What can be fixed is fixed, some probably gets left as is. The rusting floor nails probably won't get ripped up, they'll stay there.
You’re so effing clever. What cerebral activity you have going on. I’m envious. You’re inspiring. I’m learning. What a shame I’m a hundred and can’t use it
His eyebrows really said ^w^
Jokes aside, informative video. Thanks 👍
I love the videos,the things I learn , and how annoyed I should be at my own building inspector who I paid to check a house before I bought it, half the stuff through your many videos he ignored and said, ‘yeah that’s fine”
But before I get too depressed, I need to know, on average, or out of 10, how many homes pass/fail your inspections?
It would be really important info to the industry as a whole, as to how wide s-read the problem is.
Every single home is going to have something that it fails. No house in Australia is absolutely perfect. However, just because a house has a few things wrong with it doesn't make it a bad house - if the problems are widespread and go to structural issues you've got problems. I'm sure the house he looked at just then would be completely fine, but you don't want structural stuff screwed around with (the timber supporting the second story). Everything else he pointed out has a 99.999% chance of never affecting the house in it's lifespan
@@chrispekel5709well said 👍
I can go through some houses he built and also find non-compliant issues.
There is no way you pulled them up on that 11mm hangover on the garage beam slip/jack studds??? hahaha stop it. Considering the beam above that should be fit to the inside and the checkout is 70mm and the beam will only be a maximum of 65mm that 11mm's you measured actuly isn't even load bearing and could be planned off if that will make you happy hahaha. I respect you man but that was a leg puller espescialy since it looked liek a tin roof but even so. Can't believe I'm blowing up over 11mm on a pre-fab hahahaha
Looks like it's possible a 35mm beam that could be set to the front but even so.
Why are the builders taking short cuts at the owners expense ?
Good job. Your the Don Chip of the building industry - keep the bastards honest!
Back ground music makes the video professional and is “ compliant” to Australian media production guidelines.
so rusting steel nail to party board flooring, so, do they rip the house down>?
They ignore this one.
It probably won't really effect it. The problem is if the rust continues the nail won't exist then the sub floor will come loose over time (the glue under it won't last forever) and you'll probably get a bit of squeaking in a few years. Maybe. Maybe not.
The truss grips are installed on the inside as their was no fall protection when the roof trusses were getting installed which is fine. Put them on the outside and you have an apprentice on the top rung of a ladder balancing tippy toed on 1 foot leaning over the edge trying to bang something in that doesnt do anything anyway.
Very true
A lot of the 'non-compliant' things he finds are...eh...whatever. Doesn't effect the house. And some of them are shockers that really need to be fixed
@@chrispekel5709 there was 1 where he was doing a frame inspection and was looking at the member schedule pointing out all the mistakes with the steel and missed the fact that the GL1 wasn't even galvanised, another was he said for porch frame it had to be h3 timber where only the bottom plate needed to be as its inside brick pier. He is good, but is definitely not from a chippy background.
Doesn't matter, you paid to have it done as it's engineered to be done, it's not up to the builder to make adjustments on the fly for convenience.
There's always going to be defects ??? really. is that where Oz building is at ?
I think this video was just to point out some things he noticed - you can tell he actually thought the entire frame was OK overall
@@chrispekel5709 So what percentage of faulty workmanship should we accept as OK overall, 5% today ...10% tomorrow ?
@@harrycurrie9664 We shouldn't accept at defects at all. But it is almost impossible to build anything without making a mistake or two unless the experienced builder has time to check over single thing. A few defects is acceptable and not dodgy building as long as they are extremely minor represents about 0.0001% of the total build. I'm talking about bracing not being completely perfect, joist hangers around the wrong way in one small section etc. Obviously major things like structural beams being installed correctly is bad and shoddy work
😆
@@harrycurrie9664 my point is directed at people who seem to think that a bracket the wrong way around that the apprentice put on is a huge structural defect and means massive problems in the future. Does that make sense?
@@chrispekel5709 I see what you are saying.
You should be working for the new GOV housing that is coming, you train or be in charge of everyone.
You would think that framers would know to use galv nails on the flooring if they do this sort of work daily. Too many mistakes for my liking. My son is building a house at the moment and I've seen enough bad workmanship to realize that no one seems to take any pride in their work these days. Inspectors do a vital job in protecting new home owners interests.
Well the day that the chippy doesn't have to supply nails you might start seeing gal but you're saving a few hundred $ every frame by not buying gal so you'll never see it unless the client is willing to pay higher than the cheapest they can find because quality costs and has very little to do with taking pride in your work when the cost to work in it self is so damn high.
And, framers?... that's all you need to know. If all that chippy builds is frames then there is your answer.
What a costly mistake with the chipboard floor nails... 😮
Pay peanuts, you get peanuts
There’s nothing more scary than a framer who cannot read engineering plans.
A good framework professional wouldn’t need to.
@@tonysmith4277 love for you to find a framer that would know all the details for each brand of framing fix company. Pryda, multinail, simpson, vuetrade etc, etc. Frame and truss companies don't design, they punch in drawings and what gets spat out is specified by a program. That program wouldn't construct the best and cheapest design or the most practical for a framer to work with. Just something that complies. A framer gets stuck with this design. Outrageous expectations I tell ya!
@@manofausagain None of the items mentioned seemed specific to the frame design though?
Builder screws the tradie almost to extinction so no time to be thorough
Most inspectors would not get any work if they didnt pass non structural defects.
Hiring an external building inspector these days are mandatory. Many people trust the builders (especially high volume) and they discover issues later. Mostly after warranties are exhausted.
Been in indusrty for 20 years. This is penuts what i used to see. But at the end of the day, blame comes down to goverment and these inspectors. Sorry but love your work. But how many licences have you reported.
The tradesmen share none of the blame? It all falls back on the nanny state? Perhaps that is why we have a nanny state, because people cannot be trusted?
Exactly, just propaganda. Big builder give him a nice inspection contract he go blind overnight!!
Governing bodies for builders are toothless tigers in Australia and builders know that people build what they can't afford so they don't have much money to chase them down with lawyers.
@@DavidNotSolomon It's always been like this. The only real 'defect' of significance here was the hole being too big in the supporting post. The rest are unlikely to have any effect. Looks like it was the plumber's apprentice who made the hole way too big I'd say. The house is fine. There's always been dodgy builders but they used to have inspectors that were part of local government, now it's a lot more corrupt
where is your level ? i did not see packers in between top plate and ribbon plate! just follow the concreate ! i bet when windows go in they take a measurement from concret to underside of window reveal ! ask a chippy today were is your datum ! no fuck,n idea. i feel sea sick when i look at roofs today! brickys back when strip footings were still in use we created first floor levels! now on slabs we should be able to measure down off ribbon plate as it SHOULD BE LEVEL FROUNT TO BACK!
Did a bunch of Dingos build that house?
Another avoidable disaster.😢
What disaster?
Just imagine that all houses 98% being built, are non compliant and it’s always been this way as the builders and site inspectors are usually in bed together.😮
