  • Join is on an unexpected journey into a brand new off-the-plan home that turned out to be a cautionary tale for any potential homebuyer. Initially, we didn't plan to film, but the sheer number of defects we uncovered compelled us to share this important story.
    🏠 A New Home Nightmare: Imagine walking into your brand new home, only to find that every bathroom leaks into adjacent rooms. That's exactly what happened here. Our comprehensive inspection revealed that not a single area met the expected standards-every bathroom now requires complete demolition and reconstruction.
    👀 Caught on Camera: During our inspection, we captured the moment the project manager arrived on-site. Her reaction to the discovery of the pervasive issues was one of utter shock-a powerful testament to the severity of the problems we found.
    🔍 High Stakes for Our Client: This isn't just about identifying faults; it's about safeguarding our client's future. They are relying on our report to potentially withdraw from the contract if the issues are deemed major. This video underscores the critical importance of thorough inspections, especially when making significant investments in new constructions.

    thankfully we solved the housing supply crisis 30 years ago by removing all the red tape like mandatory building progress inspections by all those lazy good-for nothing council ( public servants) building inspectors and their finicky rules about not building houses that will fall down after the 36 Month warrantee. . Private builders with their private inspector mates do it so much better nowadays don't they ?

      It just comes down to price. If they pay for an engineer to be on site all the time during the build then it will jack up the cost of each build by $50k. However, it will guarantee that each build will comply with the Australian standards and result in a solid build. At the moment it only happens on critical infrastructure like the construction of railways/bridges.

      The building problems are caused by governments. Heavy penalties should apply- but no they are desperate for housing (another problem created by them) they turn a blind eye to this joke of an industry. No wonder they can’t get tradesmen- would you want to work in that sht show?

    To fix Properly will mean ripping out the walls of the shower and at least the bottom row of tiles in the rest of the room, as well as entire floor of the bathrooms. If they just rip out part of the room it will always leave a gap between the new and old waterproofing. Like life, water will always find a way.

      @@Siteinspections I've lived away from Australia for 25 years & have seen plenty of crap building work especially in the UK on the houses we have renovated. We are looking at coming back to Australia to retire but this is a real wake up call about builders (we still have a flat in Sydney). I'd never settle as they simply haven't performed the contract. Luckily I still have a fantastic corporate lawyer in Melbourne - he's am amazing at keeping things out of court (normally the best approach) but in this instance I'd let him off the leash (it's impressive and frightening to see).

    like my place i started renting 30yo brand new... Silicon fixes everthing.. even the shower, which leaked into the bedroom for years.. the toilet never half flushes, hotwater overflow leaked into the hallway. pile of plasta left on the sink, plasta all over the cupboards, glue everywhere on the skirting in the kitchen. slippery tiles in the kitchen and bathroom. hotplates that work maybe , just hit them and they start working. oven that cant keep temp correctly. lights that had 'live' in a tube that the lamp heated untill it shorted to GND, then BANG! Light fittings that just stunk. water leaks coming though the roof. unsufficent guttering .I called em to fix things so many times i gave up. we called it 'Faulty towers'. It got an Award. so from them on anything dodgy i just called it 'Award winning'.

    Under normal use (not flooding), the water damage may not start to show for 5-10 years (unless its a really bad job). That's what its all about, making sure the build lasts a very long time, not just a few years.

    This got me thinking about my place that I know that has issues… I’ve learnt so much in the last 5 years but everything is in the too hard basket. My first thought was I want one of these! Second thought I wonder if I could hire one for a day or two so I can understand more about my place and common property. I have a very curious ADHD brain and I learn by doing, even if it’s not the norm as most people would just hire someone which I would do if I needed to pursue a legal matter but for now I just want to learn and understand and that’s by doing. So I looked on Kennards hire and they had two moisture meters but it was more prong and poke to get a reading so I assume this is a different kind of meter, the words thermal imaging come to mind. Can someone please let me know the offical name of this kind of meter? (After all this I bet it’s in the description I haven’t read 😂)
