And if the inspector finds something, take it on the chin! "Shit, we didn't catch that." So be it. Use it as a learning lesson and don't make the same mistake twice.
good on her for..... being so angry at a handover inspection that.... wasn't a handover inspection? Great teddies though. What's angry ladies onlyfans?
Whats the point of a building inspector after its been built should have inspectors signing off along the way.. a 4 story building got signed off just 30 mins before the floor fell through great inspectors lol
The owner shouldn't even be on site unless its been turned over .. I had a woman that used to phone me every day to come fix the line in her ceiling I kept telling her it was a shadow she was friends with the building company owner so he basically demanded i come right away that pissed me right of turn up with my led light.. pointed it at the ceiling no shadow at they both just looked stupid. Just said you got anything else to say after wasting 2 hours of my time I charge them 500$ for fixing line in ceiling. She then phoned at said but it was a shadow. I said it was a line until you needed my experience to fix it you could have shined a light on it yourself so that's my price for fixing lines in ceilings..
He literally admits at 19:55 that he's arguing over nothing. A PCI inspection is the same thing as a turn-over inspection, she is going to be stressed either way knowing how awful they are at building.
Yeah she was fantastic. Calm, assertive, and held her own. Good on her. It's a difficult thing to do regardless of the gender, but especially for women IMO.
I (a man) had a pig from a big name builder get in my face while I was holding a baby. He noticed me calmly looking at his teeth thinking about how many I could put into his airways and started to make polite noises and head to leave the property. Head and shoulders taller than me, he still managed to get away with some shoddy details. I can't imagine what a small woman would do with this fella who seemed long in the habit of being a threatening pig when called out.
@@Moonglow1-y9x I'm in America so we don't feel shame in seeing a little bit of muffin-top.

How when the government is just as corrupt and useless. Half the industry ( workers) haven’t the right qualifications or have bogus credentials from overseas. The reason we need so called tradespeople ppl from overseas is government total incompetence. You can make more money standing with a stop sign than a qualified tradesman working for these corrupt builders. Getting a trade in the first four years pays nothing
As much as I love seeing these videos. I would love to see house builds where they are done right. It would be good to promote the builders that actually care about putting out quality works.
The guy with the green t-shirt is permitted to be on site without a white card as he is under the inspectors direct supervision. Asking to show your white card is a desperate attempt to prevent closer inspection of a very dodgy project. Great work again
Awesome content, awesome channel. Great work guys holding builders to account and getting to the truth. Professional skilled builders would have no issue with showing their work at any stage. If anything it would be a major endorsement and great advertising!
This is the stuff that needs to be on A Current Affair. A full parliamentary inquiry, in the meantime everyone suffers from this. Renters, owners, oh but not the builder or government bodies that are meant to hold up compliance. The building authorities should be ashamed!
I remember getting quotes from builders and asking that they provide a price, references and insurances. Only one complied with my request. I asked the others why and one well known local builder replied “that’s not the way it’s done”. Well, the one that did as I asked got the job. Your client being told by their builder they can’t advise you of their concerns because the builder says “that’s not how it’s done” is an example of this.
Fkn karen! Building for you would of been a nightmare, poor builder you aged him 10 years in that 2 year build... if you weren't such a knit picker maybe they would of done a better job.
No wonder why he doesn’t like the client showing you items of concern, she can show you and articulate everything pretty damn well! He should be concerned!
What's the point of the builder telling her she cannot point out and discuss faults with site inspector if he can't actually enforce anything? What can he do? Call the cops? go to court? Refuse to make repairs? It's just his point-of-view that he is expressing but he can't persist.
I worked on these lavish houses in Toorak etc for over 10 years. We were gardeners and did irrigation plumbing to the specs. Honestly there was not one job, not one without trade disputes being argued by these office jocks. Full of bs while everyone on site piles in and does their best. Often it's the lack luster approach from these so called site managers that is to blame, and anyone who has ever held a hammer and nail on a rainy day while boss man is cruising out the front in the car on the phone. Ends up with poor workmanship. Elitist management, and don't they know how to do just that when it comes to excuses. Great work
The tradies should be doing a good job full stop. They don't have to be babysat by the boss. I understand a boss working along side them is good for morale but ultimately the buck stops at their work. And of course the tradies can check in with the boss for support and guidance. We're all grown ups here.
Non compliance on certain things is found in a lot of builds, for instance a screw through the top of the downpipe I've been pulled up on before. I didn't install the downpipe obviously but now i religiously check after the plumbers done. Only little things, i can't understand structural failings, how can you call yourself a builder if the building is unsafe 🤷♂️
20:11. I've never dealt with you guys before, so, I know people who have heard of you before, I actually don't know who you are, that's not trying to be silly, blah blah, I'm not on the internet. What absolute BS. I'd put a lazy $1000 on the fact that he knows exactly who he is.
lol, very safe bet. The entire spiel was pointless because she has every right to have an inspection done after lock-up stage by an independent inspector, whether they are internet-famous or not doesn't affect anything.
You can turn up to site and see a safety concern with, say, a scaffold, it might mean you won't use the scaffold, it doesn't mean you have to immediately leave site because by that logic, anybody rectifying it would be unable to enter site.
Thanks to this channel, if I ever decide to build a house, the contract terms will stipulate handover will not occur until an independent site inspection by Zeher has been completed, so the contractors know what they're in for. You're doing gods work brother.
Every building project will encounter some issues. Whether it's a sub who cuts some corners, or just a simple lack of knowledge on something. The sign of a great contractor is one who has a guy like this show up and rather than fighting him over the issues, uses it as a learning lesson. This independent inspector is actually a huge benefit to any GC or otherwise. Just take it on the chin and use it as a learning lesson!
We purchased a solid brick home built in 1969, a couple years ago. My partners a contractor and takes so much pride in his work. He comes home raging about the absolute state of new builds on a regular basis, there was no way, even with all the first time buyer incentives, we wouldn't touch them!
until handover is done, the client needs to let the builder know when etc.. he kind of has to have is nose in (a little bit) the client can't just show up with a surveyor. Hell, the client can't even show up on their own. They have to notify the builder.
Once the photo was shown of the floor & beam, the excuses from the project manager started & says we took over the project. So what, they didn’t assess what was completed before moving forward with construction.
@@midnightspares you think if you took over the job you would look back at what the last person was doing before moving forward if have to fix something
In the first half, if a surveyor or inspector sees a defect, he prepares his report for and on behalf of the client who may not have a background in construction. Regardless of this builder's comments saying you can't say what could happen if something is missing, it is the surveyor's duty to his client in writing his report to highlight the defect, the cause of the defect, and the consequences of not correcting the defect. For example, if Dry rot was present it would be highlighted as a defect with the location and accompanying drawings, photos etc. The cause may be a leaking pipe, and the consequence of not undertaking the remedial repair which may be the rot could spread and cause a subsequent collapse of floors or structural timbers to be compromised. This builder seems to think the inspector is working for him telling him what he can and can't do, there is no contract between the inspector and the builder, he just needs to give him reasonable access to the site. TAt 15:24 this Builder is wrong in saying the client cant discuss issues with the inspector,
Yep, in fact they have to determine the severity level of the breach and which category it sits in, cosmetic or structural; the only way to do that is to predict the consequence and sharing that with the client that paid them to explain what a building breach is! Of course an engineer's assesment following that report becomes the legally required fix, but there's no law on earth stopping an inspector from explaining why a small leak in a window frame can lead to the wall collapsing.
Man, you’re a legend I bought your voice activated key chain and recently my dad and I were working a job together for the first time in a long time and when we were finishing up the job and he took his usual step back to take a look at the hard days work and so I hit the “Your work is of a poor standard” button and he just absolutely pissed himself laughing 😂 turns out he watches all your videos too. We’re big fans mate, you are doing a great thing chasing down these dodgey builders

@@TravisHi_YT So what? If things aren't up to code then she has every right to get them fixed. You salty for no reason my guy. Like Tazzy said, sounds like you are jealous.
@@TravisHi_YT Even more reason to make sure it was all built to code. She's still building a home even if it's only a trade for her, if it's all to code she gets good will with customers, an actual dollar value element to her business; if it's not to code she loses that and opens herself up to litigation and penalty.
They were getting shitty as a PCI inspection is a method of getting small stuff (not major) that is difficient past the home owner, hence why they did'nt want the real expert present as he would pick up more issues which they would be required to fix.
Exactly, they all say they're happy for independent inspection after handover, when they already have all the clients money and cant be forced to fix all their shoddy work through witholding final payment.
So now I want Independent stage inspections before signing any interim completions, lol... Specifying non destructive tests (visual) only - indicates they know behind the plaster (and in the pocket door cavities) is a lot dodgy - that is for the courts and insurance companies to litigate later, it appears.
I'd love to see a building company actually say hey Tiktok Inspector, come to one of our homes we are building! how much business would they get knowing you've walked through and ticked it off as above australian standards
I am hoping to start my home renovations this year. Finding a good builder is like a walk in a mine field. I am shit scared of getting a dodgy builder and ending up in a situation like this poor lady. I hope she gets it sorted. How bad would it be to hate your new house even before you've moved in!
I had the very much same experience with Rawson Homes. I hated the place already without moving in. Sadly I didn't come to know site inspections back in then.
"I've never heard of your guys before" and "never dealt with you before". Champ will definitely know who Site Inspections are after this. I'm very curious what his acquaintances told him about SI.
The builder, knows he's job. He has quoted on a job from the engineers drawings. Here's the thing, 22:3822:38 they accept the job, then they try to get the materials and workmanship well under what they fought it would cost them. Once you sign, your in for a ride.
Ah yes, the builder’s catch 22: to keep the inspector from being allowed onto the site to declare it unsafe, you’re forced to declare it unsafe yourself
If you build your stuff properly, then when an inspector comes shows up you simply say, "Welcome and have fun.". No drama, no tension, simple and easy.
"This is not how it's normally done". It's my house, if I want 17 independent inspections to scrutinise _your_ work, I'll do that. Quit trying to eavesdrop and interject. Some builders need to learn how to do their work properly to begin with and if there's problems, don't take it so personally. There shouldn't be problems, but there's always going to be something. Own it, fix it, move on.
There’s more and more of this going on and is truly stressful for the owners. I had a list of issues with minor things but I didn’t know the builder was adding 35k of “extras” on to the final payment. I refused this and asked for a copy of every invoice and also reminded him he could take this to VCAT. I couldn’t find any “extras” and he gave up and fixed the final invoice less 35k.
The builder said he did not know him, because he is not on internet is like your kid saying " i didnt eat it" when you didnt even ask why the cookie jar is empty 😂
Soo the site supervisor wants them to follow white card laws exactly, but don't think the builders have to follow any other laws/ regulations in actually building a property to spec
Because the trade schools are required to teach only to the AQF minimum. I knew of a TAFE teacher who taught brickwork and his students were doing advanced techniques. The teaching assessor noted it was above the AQF standard (even though the course assessment was to AQF level). The teacher was industry retired but wanted to give back to the kids. The students liked learning from him. The edict was to stop doing the extra stuff. The industry is shite because it has has decades of learning the minimum.
How did houses ever stay standing before you guys came along. Love to see a house built by this inspector. Fair to say they have a template with common but not critical issues.
Can anyone suggest some resources for starting a home construction company? Would love to create a company that holds tradesmen to account, ensuring that every step of the way is done correctly to standard. Allowing us to make the building process a breeze for home buyers. Greatly appreciate the help with this, so I can get started. Small edit, our company would protect our trades people making sure they are being paid on time and promoting a healthy work environment so they can grown within their craft
As soon as they start getting aggro, you know they are dodgy af.

There is no pride when majority of the workforce are immigrants from third world country’s who aren’t trained to the Australian standard and quality.

Exactly, they all say they're happy for independent inspection after handover, when they already have all the clients money and cant be forced to fix all their shoddy work through witholding final payment.
So now I want Independent stage inspections before signing any interim completions, lol...
Specifying non destructive tests (visual) only - indicates they know behind the plaster (and in the pocket door cavities) is a lot dodgy - that is for the courts and insurance companies to litigate later, it appears.
I'd love to see a building company actually say hey Tiktok Inspector, come to one of our homes we are building! how much business would they get knowing you've walked through and ticked it off as above australian standards
Then he'd be called a sell-out
@@alfstewart22 lol in what way?
Conflict of interest maybe, especially since he doesn't do these things for free.
A lot of the standards are BS
This woman is amazing!
I am hoping to start my home renovations this year. Finding a good builder is like a walk in a mine field. I am shit scared of getting a dodgy builder and ending up in a situation like this poor lady. I hope she gets it sorted. How bad would it be to hate your new house even before you've moved in!
I had the very much same experience with Rawson Homes. I hated the place already without moving in. Sadly I didn't come to know site inspections back in then.
Love your work, keep exposing the dodgy trades 👍
What a strong lady! Well done to the home buyer.
if he is running the site, means he is responsible for all those mess. And he will be the one lost his liscense from it. 😂😂😂
Just admitting he never paid for the 2 - 3 hour thorough inspection he's supposed to do when you adopt a partly completed build.
"I've never heard of your guys before" and "never dealt with you before". Champ will definitely know who Site Inspections are after this. I'm very curious what his acquaintances told him about SI.
Good video thanks Zahir
The builder, knows he's job. He has quoted on a job from the engineers drawings. Here's the thing, 22:38 22:38 they accept the job, then they try to get the materials and workmanship well under what they fought it would cost them. Once you sign, your in for a ride.
For the amounts of money involved, it’s frightening how difficult it appears to get a competent build of a new home.
'I'm not on the internet' said no one ever
Maybe he watches ACA
Ah yes, the builder’s catch 22: to keep the inspector from being allowed onto the site to declare it unsafe, you’re forced to declare it unsafe yourself
How is the lead up to 1st major non - compliance 7:11, was the longest gotcha moment -LOL>
Went straight to "well i took this job over" 😂😂😂😂
They sound like used car salesmen.
You are just awesome, Love your videos!
Notice how he was incharge then you show him problems and he said well i just took it over 😂
I laughed so hard as you quietly start pulling up the photos in the corner while he's busy trying to obfuscate the situation.
Grr that second dodgy man is so nasty... Passive aggressive
If you build your stuff properly, then when an inspector comes shows up you simply say, "Welcome and have fun.". No drama, no tension, simple and easy.
"This is not how it's normally done". It's my house, if I want 17 independent inspections to scrutinise _your_ work, I'll do that. Quit trying to eavesdrop and interject. Some builders need to learn how to do their work properly to begin with and if there's problems, don't take it so personally. There shouldn't be problems, but there's always going to be something. Own it, fix it, move on.
Where do report the outcomes so we can see what’s done to rectify the issues
Man, passive aggressive bullies are the worst.
..."I just took the job over" translation. Not my fault
He's going to use that excuse for everything they find im sure
yeah, not "i checked what was done first that needed rectifying before we went further"
Unfortunately it's still his responsibility
There’s more and more of this going on and is truly stressful for the owners.
I had a list of issues with minor things but I didn’t know the builder was adding 35k of “extras” on to the final payment. I refused this and asked for a copy of every invoice and also reminded him he could take this to VCAT.
I couldn’t find any “extras” and he gave up and fixed the final invoice less 35k.
oh yes, with hold all payments. lets gooooooo
FN Adds are next level bro
He's going to learn to watch the internet after this upload 😅
First guy so used to getting his way with BS and lies. Gets absolutely outplayed. Bravo.
When I was in the game with my late father it was all about leaving no defects. Now it’s about how many they can get away with. Sad
Your client's face is clearly visible at 21.52 (in the mirror) and 21:56 (corner of the screen) when the blur glitches out
I feel like Mr Site Inspector was being a very very devious and naughty man offering that rag!!!
🤣🤣🤣
The builder said he did not know him, because he is not on internet is like your kid saying " i didnt eat it" when you didnt even ask why the cookie jar is empty 😂
Soo the site supervisor wants them to follow white card laws exactly, but don't think the builders have to follow any other laws/ regulations in actually building a property to spec
Wow the building standards have dropped over the years
Because the trade schools are required to teach only to the AQF minimum. I knew of a TAFE teacher who taught brickwork and his students were doing advanced techniques. The teaching assessor noted it was above the AQF standard (even though the course assessment was to AQF level). The teacher was industry retired but wanted to give back to the kids. The students liked learning from him. The edict was to stop doing the extra stuff.
The industry is shite because it has has decades of learning the minimum.
I've been a builder, and an inspector... I never understand the issue. Now if a builder turns me away I automatically fail you.
GOOD OLD LADDER SITTING IN THE PUBLIC WALKWAY 🤣
Where is the VBA
How did houses ever stay standing before you guys came along. Love to see a house built by this inspector. Fair to say they have a template with common but not critical issues.
"The contract allows them to move in without an OC" - red flag
(the local council doesn't... lol...)
You make builders & tradies sweat
Love it 😂.
Lol a dodgy builder telling an experience inspector how to do inspections.
what a gentleman giving her the towel...
these site inspections SHOULD be done by workcover with the independent inspectors
poor lady, hasnt moved in yet and hates the place, I hope everything works out
Seems like the obvious first response would be to say if you stand by your work you should have no problems with an inspection.
Hurry ..come to Newcastle and Hunter Valley plenty of shit here.
its literally all over the country, every corner of the country.
Feel sorry for this woman, she’s being screwed over by the builder, you can tell they don’t like that she wants a compliant house, unbelievable!
Can anyone suggest some resources for starting a home construction company? Would love to create a company that holds tradesmen to account, ensuring that every step of the way is done correctly to standard. Allowing us to make the building process a breeze for home buyers. Greatly appreciate the help with this, so I can get started. Small edit, our company would protect our trades people making sure they are being paid on time and promoting a healthy work environment so they can grown within their craft
So this sorry excuse for a builder took the job over but didn't bother to rectify the previous faults. Sack him.
"We'll decide what we will and won't rectify" what a turd
"this is not the way this normally works", in the world where he got away for all the shoddy work...
Excuse me for saying something, what ever happened to all roof drainage must be discharged to the street?
