Tune in for a shocking update to our previous inspection of a NSW home construction. In our initial inspection, we highlighted severe non-compliant issues that were discovered during an intensive 6-hour investigation. Our findings were so alarming that they prompted the homeowners to involve NSW Fair Trading.
In this latest episode, we reveal the consequences of the builder's negligence. The certifier involved with this job has been suspended for six years! What's more, the house is already experiencing leaks, and the owner hasn't even moved in yet!
What You'll Discover:
👉NSW Fair Trading's response to our initial findings
👉The repercussions for the certifier involved in the project
👉The ongoing problems the homeowner is facing – leaks before move-in!
👉The importance of due diligence in choosing a builder and certifier
Join us for an eye-opening journey into the consequences of substandard construction.

Unbelievable that a tick tock YouTuber is showing what a government department SHOULD be doing! Keep up the good work, and stay safe when your on the roof.
-
Stoked to hear that these grubs certifying garbage homes are starting to get punished. Good work mate.
-
6 years isn't enough. Should be lifetime ban.
-
As a builder myself, I love this guy. I can't remember how many jobs I've lost to underquoting from builders that do a half ass job. Not only on quality of building but safety as well. A couple of 45x90's as scaffolding. I get angry thinking about it again.
-
I was warned about this certifier seven years ago when I first started working in architecture in Sutherland Shire. He had many nicknames but he was referred to as 'Drive-By-Paul' by my old boss. A client of mine, who is also a builder, calls him 'Tick 'n Flick'. Good to hear he's finally been punished properly.
-
For those who clicked on the NSW Fair Trading link that @Site Inspections provided, you will note that Paul Gearin the Certifier who got suspended, had been reprimanded multiple times over the years.

I am currently paying off an apartment in Sydneys West and plan on eventually buying a house down in Tasmania to settle down and this guy is the guy I would fly down to check a home. This guy is an absolute weapon of an inspector.
-
You're an absolute legend mate . Australian of the year material! Im so sick of bodgy workers especially when most people spend their entire lives paying their house off
-
Mate, ever thought of becoming the Building Commissioner? Well you should. Hopefully you have a team involved with you. You are a deadset hero. We need blokes like you big time. Thanks for helping the small guys…👍
-
The two dislikes must be the builder and certifier 🤣
-
I love this channel. I'm a commercial house painter and I see this and more all the time , I've been removed/ fired from a few sites by the builders because I refused to cover up their crap work. Absolute cowboys , I tell people all the time and they call me a liar
-
What a schmozzle I feel for a lot of the owners of the houses I work on, So many builders who dont give AF. Well done
-
5:19 We can hear the compassion so clearly in your voice. Clearly you give a crap about the consumer and I'm glad people like you are out there protecting us!
-
the VBA is absolutely useless, i had a shopping list of serious non-compliances i had to grind my way for years on my own all the way up until a week before a VCAT hearing until the builder agreed to pay the $100k bill we gave them for others to complete the works. You can highlight as much dangerous non-compliant items to the VBA and theyll find any reason to ignore it. We even got recommended by professional bodies to not even bother wasting your time with the VBA
-
I nearly fell off my chair when you said NSW fair trading was going after the builder, excellent!
-
What you said about the VBA is spot on. Honestly the whole thing needs to be rehauled completely
-
I couldn’t believe the state of that house. It was disgraceful, props to you for helping your fellow citizen I hope they get their house fixed or rebuilt to a safe standard to live in.
-
It just proves self certification doesn’t work unless there is follow up random spot visits by DFT. Certifiers are in the builders pockets.
-
I have spent over 20 years in commissioning and sadly none of this surprises me. My favourite saying was always: if you did your job, I wouldn’t have a job
