$7 Million Build Nightmare | Engineering Plan Error…

Great way to start the weekend with some non-compliance.

None of this non compliant work is ever going to change until certifiers become more liable for passing/certifying non compliant work. Any non compliant work found after being certified should be rectified by the certifier at their cost... that will soon get them to be more diligent.

Hey mate, carpenter's apprentice here. Really appreciate your videos. Started researching all specifications related to what we do noting them down and its helped alot. Appreciate you

Imagine dropping 3mil on the build and the blokes are spot fixing your tiles in the bathroom 😂 Fuck me dead 💀

What a sad state the Australian building industry is in right now even for high end luxury builds as well.

All these flat roofs seem to be dependent on large amounts of silicone. Silicone does not last!! How is this an acceptable construction technique? Silicone. Polystyrene cladding. Box gutters and roof plumbing requiring complicated calculations that aren't taught at trade schools. Madness! Just because you can use a CAD program doesn't mean you should. Idiotic house designs everywhere!

Can you plese one day take us to a PERFECT coded house with no issues?. I wanna see what it should look like after 10 years

Anyone building a new house in Australia is nuts. Rolling the dice for your entire life's work.

Neighbours must be real happy having that monstrosity built next to them

those HVL trusses are weathered so badly that I would not pay another penny till replaced. the delamination means structural integrity is gone.

Just stay away from box gutters. Obviously too hard to get right and nightmare to maintain

I've been tiling for nearly 20 years unfortunately.... spot fixing vs notching walls has got me in a few arguments over the years . When I started spot fixing was acceptable as tiles were generally a 200x200mm tile and didn't weigh that much , tiles and methods of fixing tiles have changed, large format tiles are a pain in the ass to lay properly and achieve 90%+ coverage. Spot fixing is heaps easier and quicker but at the end of the day it's dodgy, it doesn't comply with the standards. The tiling game has gone to shit if we can't even get the basics right. U cant hang 30 plus kilos of tile on a wall with a few dots and hope for the best

Bet there’s a whole bunch of tradies that are owed money on this job. ☹️that site looks like it’s been closed up for at least a year.

This need a follow up video upon the home owner and the length needed to rectify and proceedings to get it all fixed and sorted.

I knew the outlet was supposed to be 90mm just from watching your vids. I'm a bus driver 😂. You had the tape on it showing 60mm and i'm like...its supposed to be 90mm isn't it...lol. Then you said 90mm and i'm like "yes!"

I would say this building company has either had a change in management and sourced cheaper contractors without the skill set, or have never taken on a build of this size and complexity. Absolutely devastating for the owners.

I would love to see some builders/designers/engineers ( whatever the hell you wanna call yourselves ) chime in and explain why they think they can just ignore the f**king building diagrams. That is not aimed at the builders and all that that actually know the regulations and follow them like you are supposed to. You lot rock, keep up the good work.

I’ve literally seen effluent coming out of every sink/toilet/shower tray in a 27k square foot mansion in Fernhurst,West Sussex. It was 4 days before hand over..

I feel sorry for the rich guy owner and I’m broke as hell

@ site inspections You guys do fantastic work. You guys checked our garage roof works along with kitchen, bathroom, toilet, and laundry and found 45 non compliant issues. We passed on the reports on and have gotten all rectified. Tradies are taking notice
