Update on the certifier that was involved with this job: www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/trades-and-businesses/b…

Brother is doing more at exposing the building industry in 10 mins than the whole government and a building ombudsman has done in 20 years . Love it ❤❤❤❤❤
-
Australia’s building industry needs a lot more people like you mate. It’s good to see Aussies looking after Aussies.
-
I used to work with this man, this man knows literally in and out of this industry
-
I was absolutely horrified watching this. I can’t believe the private certifier has passed this. I’m completely shocked that the builders would even do this workmanship. They should be prosecuted. That work they did on that home is embarrassing.
-
I have worked in the Construction industry for over 50 years and still encounter rubbish builds as you are reviewing. My compliments to you, you are thorough, professional and clearly know the applicable Standards. If only more “builders” had the commitment to do the job properly…..
-
This is honestly my worse nightmare. My heart goes out to the homeowners who will have to fight tooth and nail to retrieve their investment.
-
Being ripped off by a bad builder is terrible. People's life savings can literally be wiped out and there is very little anybody can do apart from expensive lengthy litigation that might not work. It's basically criminal theft. Thanks for your videos. You are doing important work.
-
Not only is this the bodgiest of builds, they also seem like the sort of faults that are so easy to do properly the first time, and an absolute nightmare to fix retroactively.
-
Thanks for this shocking news. The Building surveyor needs to be taken to task for passing this absolute mess. I truly feel the buyers of this disaster. No excuses for anyone involved in this, from builders to council.
-
The inspector should be sued. When I had my house built, I had inspections at the foundation pour, framing, fitting and pre handover. It cost but I saved a ton of money , time and grief. Plus the builder took more care with mine than he did with the other builds. Thank God for my buddy who's a builder.
-
I feel like this guy should be retraining all the builders and inspectors! Good job brother, 👏🏼
-
My parents lived in a 100 year old weatherboard cottage. The neighbours built a house like this next door, and the builder hung an arm over the fence and told my Dad 'Your old house will be here a lot longer than this new one'.
-
I'm so so confused that, how is it, that the inspectors who sign these things off have absolutely no onus to answer for their (literal crimes) in approving unsafe, incomplete and not-to-code work? Why is there no law to hold them to account?
-
I have no idea why this video got served to me but the algorithm has absolutely provided.
-
Name a shame the builder, the building inspector who has signed it off so far! Thanks for sharing.
-
You know what's funny? I never really watch building and construction videos, but I came across your video the other day and I was hooked! The production value was just too good to resist, with the music, overlays, and pacing all on point. I ended up watching the entire thing and I have to say, well done mate!
-
An honest hard working Aussie protecting peoples investments. Just came accross your channel. Shocked at what I am seeing. You earned yourself a subscriber.
-
The last big house I built I had the engineer signing off all the way through the build and then at the end the private certifier ( selected by the owner ) spent nearly 8 hrs going through every nut and bolt. He got me for the finish on the hand built polished timber stairs was too smooth, I take my hat off to you for what you are doing, the industry is being destroyed by volume builders who have no souls
-
Please mentioned the builders in your videos. It will be helpful information for people planning their next homes.
