      Yes.
      No. 1 Issue is architect wanting to make it look nice but no consideration of how on earth they would be able to build in drainage property.
      No. 2 Cost of materials - doing everything brick top to bottom would cost enormous amounts and the biggest problem with this is there are not enough trades to do this properly. Can you imagine a poor rick job on that, also the extra few months it would take to do it in brick.
      No. 3 The builder wants to make the build easy so the trades can understand, unfortunately when you are forced to compact houses into blocks like this because of financial contraints what can you do?

    First time viewer, sent here by Friendly Jordies. This is unbelievable, it is utterly disgusting how these builders rush and cut corners so they erect these homes which look like they're falling apart before anyone moves in. Every building company guilty of not even doing the bare minimum should be held 100% accountable. The property market is already in a terrible spot, and these cowboys are throwing up any old rubbish and desperate people are locking themselves into life long mortgages, just so they can have their first home. This isn't on and some drastic changes need to be made. Thank you for your service and for calling out these builders for their absolutely abysmal work.

The old days a builder would do near everything other than brick laying and plaster. They would dig the foundations, setup and lay the driveway and build the kitchen cabinets. They were called carpenters and could work with wood. These days there is so much that gets outsourced to $1 companies that shut down after 2 years and open under another name so chasing warranty is impossible to pointless. That has added a lot of cost to building a house and the time it takes. Building houses like how a production line in a factory runs does not work except for money in the builder's pocket. A year to build a house but they have 30 or 50 going at once so to them they are building 1ir 2 a week but to an owner it is 1 a year.

Firstly, i have been involved with some building work and it can really be an effort to get something into a complying state. This why things are left if it is considered there if a slim chance they will be found. Secondly, if you built a home in the 80's or before you would hire a builder with a team. They would all be on site until the finish. Nowadays you hire a builder and they subcontract the work out and dont even inspect it as they appear to seldom be on site. The faults are just laid on top of other faults as it is no one's job to fix up the previous tradespersons job.

The certifiers are committing fraud and fraud well into the criminal range IMO IANAL. They deserve to be cancelled, banned and imprisoned, because we no longer have pillory as an option.
      Corners were always cut, it's why there is so much regulation, but, as we can see, it has not been enforced for so long that utter garbage getting signed off is of no consequence. Some people will do almost anything for money and getting a VBA ticket as an inspector and just signing shitpiles off no doubt pays damn well for minimal effort and no risk.

      Preston Place, East end of Wood Street. Metro Property Development. Have 23 estate developments on the go in three states. For a company that big I would be expecting a public statement shortly, embracing the findings and committing to a rapid and thorough remediation and commitment to upgrading their quality assurance process. If they don't, I would imagine all their projects will be difficult to move. With inspectors passing this many units for such a large developer, I wonder if they are political party donors?

      @@JohnSmith-pl2bk Political party donors... hardly matters. The inspectors are probably private certifiers who have a contract to do all the progress inspections for the estate. I dont think Councils have their own inspectors any more and I the VBA only certifies inspectors they don't hire them out.

    I'm from UK and when i purchased my latest home i got an INDEPENDENT inspection as i think that an inspection linked to the builder may not be totally honest. Can you not have independent inspections in Australia ?

      We did the same in Germany. However, the builds in Germany are mostly to a very good standard. My husband managed the project. He`s not in the building trade but he is very detailed in what he will do, We had each stage of the build signed off before any payments were forwarded to the builder and architect.

    No doubt there will be builders and others out there saying you're nit picking and that the buildings will be more expensive to do them to code and as per the standards. The cost of doing those things are a lot more expensive to put right after the fact. It's just more cost transferred to an owner down the track. Seems we are unable to build anything properly any more. It's no wonder so many people prefer to buy an older property than a new one. I know whenever I have done work on my own property, I have done it so much better than a lot of these cowboys.
    When I was learning to be a draughtsman many years ago, my boss back then said that all your plans should be so good that someone should be able to pick them up and not have any questions about how to do anything or to ask how something worked. If you got no calls, you did a good job. Good working drawings were only part of it. Good back up documentation were also a huge part of it. Once you started to add anything like "design as to standard blah blah", that was a cop out. You can't design to a standard you are not fully aware of and not being able to do working drawings and details to those standards means you don't know what you're doing or it can't be built properly, or possibly also both.

      In the 1980's almost every Government in the Western World got conned into downgrading or outright cancelling apprentice programs.
      This was deliberate down skilling of the workforce to get better profits by NOT having to train the next generation of tradesmen.
      The older gen are now retired.
      The untrained are in charge.
      This also applies to inspection services...

      The crazy thing is that in 1 bathroom, to do the tiling properly, back buttering and trowelling each tile instead of applying spots would probably only take 2 more bags of adhesive, and maybe a couple of hours. Tile manufacturers / suppliers will walk away from ANY warranty problems because of the incorrect installation..

      You can’t make a living drafting like that. People should know how to build. Just don’t show something that cannot be done or is not to code ( or just a bad idea). If there is a puzzle, show your way to do it. You don’t get calls anyway. Builders just do what they want.

      @@Smurphenstein thought exactly the same when studying drafting! Such a cop out to write 'as per'. No. Be specific with the owner's agreement/input from the moment you have the pencil (or mouse). So there's no misunderstanding.

    Not only can the kids not play ball games because of the polystyrene walls the house can flood during heavy downpour . They should pass a law to jail builders , developers and inspectors that allow this to happen. You get more protection on a car than your own home .

      I've said that before. I can't register my car without it being thoroughly inspected and every possible repair made. If the inspection is substandard, the inspector is held to account, not me. And I don't expect to own my car for the next 20 years.
