  • In this shocking slab stage inspection, we uncovered such poor concrete work on the foundation that we had no choice but to call for a complete redo! Watch as we expose the critical issues with the foundation slab that could have ruined the entire build. This inspection forced the builder to rip it all up and start over. Don’t let dodgy contractors cut corners on your home’s foundation-see exactly what went wrong and learn how to protect your biggest investment!

      Yeah man tell me about it. You see rubbish like this and suddenly you think to yourself ‘it’s some reinforcement, some spacing chairs, a few specific tools (trowels, vibrators, formwork, etc.), and some concrete. Get a couple mates around for a BBQ and beers and hit it ourselves!’

    Not only do the whole slab and footings have to come up, but the services pipes will be damaged and need to be reinstalled before the new slab and footing go down.

    As a former public infrastructure QC and QA Manager how can these people call themselves tradespeople. How can anyone on that job call themselves a leading hand let alone a supervisor. A chook shed in a paddock has a better floor than that slab.

    This is beyond a joke, I am a builder in Queensland and have been in the trade for 38 yrs and I have never ever seen anything like that. There are some WA builders over here but they won’t change their licence over because you almost have to do 2 years at Uni to get your licence over here, no matter how long you have been a carpenter. This is what I would expect to find in Victoria ( sorry little China ), but WA makes them look like hero’s

    • @Entaran
      @Entaran 2 місяці тому

      You got zero chance this occurs in Victoria without a DTF and/or a Building Notice being issued. You can't just waltz in from WA and be a builder in Vic either, we don't have mutual recognition for builders.
