In today's eye-opening episode, we dive deep into a story that hits close to home, both literally and figuratively. A homeowner embarks on a journey to build their dream home with a budget exceeding $2.1 million, entrusting the project to a family friend turned project manager. What was supposed to be a partnership built on trust quickly spirals into a cautionary tale of manipulation, greed, and sabotage. The TikTok Inspector Conflict: When the project manager realises the homeowner enlisted the help of a renowned TikTok inspector for quality assurance, tensions flare. The inspector, known for his thorough and unbiased reviews, faces harassment on social media, a testament to the project manager's desperation to conceal the shoddy workmanship under his supervision. A Cascade of Non-Compliance: Our comprehensive inspection uncovers a litany of issues. From the ceiling's frame installation that blatantly disregards the stamped truss layout to the evidently compromised structural integrity, the depth of negligence is alarming. The waterproofing and Hebel cladding installations are far from compliant, and the framing itself violates basic standards. The Financial Toll: With the project manager pocketing over $250,000 and the concrete work alone costing around $200,000, the financial strain on the homeowner is immense. The situation worsens when, upon further evaluation by a qualified engineer, it's determined that the concrete work is so subpar it necessitates complete replacement. A Trust Betrayed: This tale is not just about financial loss but a profound breach of trust between the homeowner, now an unwitting owner-builder, and a project manager who was considered a family friend. A Call to Action: This episode isn't merely a recount of events but a stern warning to homeowners about the pitfalls of unchecked trust, especially in construction projects of such magnitude. It's a reminder of the importance of due diligence, independent inspections, and the right to seek transparency and accountability at every construction phase.

2023 Worst Builder Aware https://youtu.be/DXafnJY4jJI?si=B73OKSW8ZIYkgJEY 📍Greenvale, Victoria In April 2022, construction began on a home that quickly became a blueprint for how not to build a house. Our latest investigation reveals a structure besieged by mould, a frame that blatantly disregards engineering plans, and a series of non-compliance issues that boggle the mind. Despite these glaring discrepancies, the building surveyor inexplicably passed the frame stage, leading the homeowner to make a payment for work far from completed or compliant. Engineering Oversight?: Dive deep with us as we unravel how a frame, overrun by mould and deviating from the original engineering plans, received approval. This lapse not only poses significant health risks but also questions the integrity of the oversight process. Roofing Redo Required: The roofing, failing to align with the plans or meet Australian standards, is another critical point of failure, necessitating a complete removal and redo. Premature Payment Demands: Amidst this chaos, the builder audaciously demands a lockup payment, despite the external cladding being far from finished. This action not only contravenes the Building Contracts Act 1995 but also places the homeowner in a precarious position. What Next for the Homeowner?: Faced with a mould-infested, non-compliant construction, should the homeowner comply with the payment request, hoping for the best? Or are there other steps to ensure accountability and compliance? Join us as we dissect this troubling case, shining a light on the dark corners of building compliance and homeowner rights.

In this revealing body cam footage, witness the moment our inspector catches a serious breach of the National Construction Codes on camera. During a routine inspection, it was discovered that concretors were blatantly skipping a crucial step in the concrete pouring process – the installation of bar chairs. Bar chairs are not just an accessory but a fundamental requirement in concreting. They play a pivotal role in supporting both the reinforcing bar and mesh, ensuring there is correct concrete coverage over the reinforcement area. This oversight not only breaches the NCC but compromises the structural integrity of the concrete work. The absence of bar chairs means compromising the tensile strength that steel reinforcement provides to concrete constructions, making it susceptible to cracking and failure. This footage is a stark reminder of the corners cut in construction and the importance of vigilant inspections. It's clear now why the builder was hesitant to have us on site. Watch as we uncover the truth behind this egregious oversight and the potential risks it poses. Join us in spreading awareness about the significance of adhering to construction codes and the role of diligent inspections in ensuring safe and compliant building practices.

🚨UPDATE: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-03-13/couple-calls-for-better-complaints-process-amid-build-dispute/103513360 In this heart-wrenching episode, we venture to the quaint town of Emerald, Queensland, to meet homeowners who've faced what many fear: turning life savings into a living nightmare. After spending $950,000+ and transitioning from life in a shed to what was supposed to be their dream home, they encountered a reality far from what they envisioned. This video is not just an inspection; it's a mission to uncover the truth and seek justice. 🏠 A Dream Shattered: The homeowners' journey to build their dream home has been marred by a series of devastating non-compliances and defects. From rogue roof drainage systems not matching the plans to a decking area replaced by improperly sloped concrete, the list of grievances is long. The installation of Axon cladding and Lysaght cladding has voided warranties due to non-compliant practices, representing a clear violation of The Building Contracts Act 2000, with penalties amounting to $154,800. 💔 Emotional Discovery: Inside the home, the situation worsens with leaks, substandard materials, and incomplete workmanship revealing themselves at every turn. The emotional toll on the homeowners was palpable, culminating in tears and despair upon learning the full extent of the issues. 🛠 A Call for Action: This episode goes beyond just documenting defects; it's a plea for assistance and a call to action. We aim to shine a light on this injustice, hoping that by sharing this story, the QBCC authority and other relevant bodies will step in to rectify the situation. Help Spread the Word: By watching and sharing this video, you're not just gaining insight into potential building pitfalls but also helping a family in dire need of support.

🚨UPDATE: Building Notice Issued By The Building Surveyor: SHOW CAUSE PROCESS: Under section 108 of the Building Act 1993, you are required to show cause within 30 days of the date of service of this notice – why you should not be required to carry out the building work identified in this notice in relation to the building: 1. Justify non-compliant framework to be in accordance with the Australian Standards and Building Code of Australia: and, 1.1 Carry out all works necessary to bring the building into compliance with the Act, Australian Standards, Building Regulations, and current building permit. —— Join us on a dramatic return to a Preston home that's become the epicenter of a construction controversy. Initially tasked with verifying the lockup stage for a homeowner who had doubts about the progress and compliance with national construction codes, our inspection unveiled a myriad of issues. The home, far from reaching the lockup stage, was plagued with non-compliant roofing, framing that contradicted the engineering drawings, and Australian standards ignored at every turn. Alarmingly, these serious lapses were somehow missed by the RBS (Registered Building Surveyor) who had erroneously signed off on the work. The plot thickened upon our visit when the building supervisor, apparently unnerved by our presence and findings, decided to escalate the situation by calling the police on us. This unexpected turn of events did not deter our mission; it only underscored the dire need for transparency and accountability in the building process. 🚓 When Inspectors Meet Enforcement: Witness firsthand the tense moments when building standards enforcement and law enforcement collided. This encounter highlights the challenges inspectors face in shedding light on subpar construction practices. 🔍 Expert Insight on Site: Undaunted, we continued our mission with the support of Russell Kirkwood, a Forensic Plumbing Assessor from Metropolis Solutions Pty Ltd. His expertise provided invaluable insights into the egregious roofing work and more, underscoring the severity of the home's issues. 🏠 A Deep Dive into Construction Mismanagement: This video is more than a reinspection; it's a revealing journey through a home riddled with defects, from the ground up. Our comprehensive review covers framing, roofing, lockup, and beyond, revealing the true extent of the builder's negligence. 🛠️ A Call for Industry Change: Armed with expert knowledge and a commitment to consumer advocacy, we confront the realities of a system that allows such failures to occur.

In this riveting and informative video, we take a deep dive into the controversial inspection report of a townhouse development constructed by the now-liquidated Shangri-La Construction YouTube ( https://youtu.be/glwhxwEfoDw?si=cY55iQEjv73N7ppv ). The inspection, conducted by our team, uncovers a myriad of issues, some of which were surprisingly rejected by the Victorian Managed Insurance Authority (VMIA), causing confusion and frustration for the homeowner. As we delve into the details, we draw shocking parallels to an inspection we conducted in February 2022 for another collapsed builder. Strangely enough, similar items which were accepted by the VMIA in the past, were rejected in this case. This inconsistency raises several questions about the VMIA's modus operandi. To make things even more perplexing, we bring to light a letter from a lawyer representing the VMIA. This document contains a major flaw that contradicts the VMIA's own insurance policy, adding another layer of complexity to this already convoluted situation. Join us as we meticulously unravel the VMIA's response to our report and probe into their intentions. We question why they would accept non-compliant/defective work and highlight the potential repercussions of their decisions. This video not only scrutinizes the actions of the VMIA but also seeks to demand accountability for the homeowner's plight. Don't miss out on this eye-opening journey as we attempt to expose the truth behind the VMIA's perplexing decisions.

Hit subscribe to keep the discoveries coming on Site Inspections. 🚨 Homeownership is often seen as a cornerstone of the Australian dream, but for one first-time buyer, that dream has turned into a complete shemozzle. I've just concluded a PCI (Practical Completion Inspection) on a property that reveals a nightmare of non-compliance and shoddy workmanship. The owner is devastated, and rightly so. This isn't just a setback; it's a catastrophe where someone’s life savings are on the line. While the video speaks volumes, the silence from the authorities speaks louder. Unlike my previous experience in NSW, where the NSW Fair Trading compliance team was proactive, I've yet to see any engagement from the Victorian Building Authority. No checks, no balances, no action. Where are you, VBA? We stand on a precipice, with the prospect of skilled migrant workers arriving to supplement our workforce. It's a much-needed boost, but without proper training and stringent testing to Australian Standards and the NCC, what future are we building? Are we constructing homes or time bombs? This industry embarrassment can no longer be the norm. The government needs to wake up; we are on a path to disaster. I extend my hand to help, to make a difference, to ensure that the standards we built our reputation on do not crumble like the very homes we are supposed to trust. I’m calling you out, Victorian Building Authority – this is a problem you can’t ignore. We need action, transparency, and accountability. To the community here on YouTube: share this message, raise awareness, and demand better. Our homes, our safety, and our peace of mind are not negotiable. 🧡 Help us share more crucial updates like this.

Join us as we re-inspect the property to evaluate the actions taken and provide crucial awareness for those embarking on their building or renovation journeys.

🚨Video Update: https://youtu.be/mbRZ3M6_U2c?si=hcn53Zl14-nJ3wXW Venture with us into the heart of Melbourne as we step onto a job site with 9 units rapidly approaching its lockup stage. For those unfamiliar, the lockup stage, as defined by Consumer Affairs Victoria "External wall cladding and roof covering are fixed, the flooring is laid and external doors and windows are installed". While our main task was to validate the adherence to engineering and working drawings, what we unearthed was far from compliant. From spot-fixed tiles in the bathroom—a glaring breach of Australian standards and an evident safety concern—to roofing installation that completely strays from established standards, this project was riddled with shortcuts. To shed more light on these pressing issues, I've brought in an industry expert, Mr. Russel Kirkwood, a Forensic Plumbing Assessor at Metropolis Solutions Pty Ltd and co-founder of Dambuster, his insights are invaluable. Dive into this episode as we navigate through what could be the most costly rectification job of 2023, estimated at over a staggering $200,000. Beware homeowners and builders: shortcuts may lead to immediate progress but will inevitably come with a hefty price tag. This particular builder is staking a solid claim for the unfortunate title of 'Worst Builder of 2023'. Join us for this alarming revelation.

In today's episode, we unveil a heart-wrenching story that no Australian homeowner should ever face. After three builders, numerous challenges, and a pile of unmet promises, this homeowner's dream turned into a nightmarish reality. The tale begins with the first builder disappearing post-deposit and the second going bust. Now, as he deals with the third builder, a legal demand comes in. The builder claims the 'Lockup Stage' is complete. In the Victorian consumer law, the 'Lockup Stage' refers to a point where the building's external wall cladding and roof covering is fixed, the flooring is laid, and the external doors and external windows are fixed (even if the external doors or windows are only temporary). The real shock? This stage amounts to a whopping 30% of the contract price. Our inspection, however, unveils a darker truth. Not only is the 'Lockup Stage' incomplete, but even the preceding 'Frame Stage' doesn't match the engineering drawings. What's even more alarming? The building surveyor had passed the frame stage, which the homeowner had already paid for. If a builder prematurely demands a stage payment, it might be a breach of both the Contract and the Domestic Building Contracts Act. We delve deeper with insights from two industry experts: 🔍 Dr. Cameron Jones, a renowned environmental microbiologist, sheds light on the repercussions of using compromised timber members. How does prolonged exposure to elements affect the timber? More importantly, what are the health impacts of mould in our homes? Know more about Dr. Jones and his expertise https://www.drcameronjones.com/pages/mediabio 🔍 Peter Blyth, the Managing Director at Dynamic Steel Frame, provides a unique perspective on steel framing systems.

Welcome back to another episode of Site Inspections, where we strive to bring transparency to the construction industry in Australia. In today's revealing episode, our esteemed TikTok Inspector takes you through a pre-purchase inspection on a unit that is currently undergoing rectification works. This story starts with the original homeowner and/or body corporate obtaining an inspection report that, surprisingly, missed a series of critical defects and non-compliant items. Fast forward to now, from what we have been told, a repairer chosen by an Insurance Authority is handling the rectification process. But as our inspection reveals, these rectification works are far from satisfactory and are, alarmingly, non-compliant themselves. Witness this inspection firsthand with exclusive body cam footage, giving you an inside look at our interaction with the repairer who seemed particularly eager to limit our inspection to the bathroom area only. Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Join us to uncover the truth hidden behind these walls.

Welcome back to Site Inspections, your trusted source for unravelling the complexities and surprises of the construction industry. In today's episode, we delve into the troubling tale of a homeowner who found himself with two half-constructed homes and a builder who vanished halfway through the project. After paying the builder most of the agreed amount, the builder disappeared, leaving behind a construction site filled with incomplete work and a litany of defects, such as non-compliant roofing and incorrect waterproofing. To make matters worse, the builder demanded additional payment beyond the agreed contract, citing escalating building materials costs and other challenges in the industry - an all too familiar story in Australia's current building climate. Left with two incomplete double-story homes, the homeowner is now faced with the harsh reality that there is still about $150,000 worth of work needed to complete the job. However, as our TikTok Inspector guides you through the project, it becomes clear that the actual cost to rectify the defects and finish the work will likely far exceed that estimate. Join us for a candid interview with the distressed homeowner as he shares his story, providing a poignant reminder of the emotional and financial toll such situations can take. This video serves as a wake-up call for anyone currently building or considering building a home. Learn from this family's experience to ensure you're adequately prepared and protected for your own building journey. Want to help us create more videos?

🚨UPDATE: The builder went bust ⬇️ https://www.news.com.au/finance/business/other-industries/montego-homes-collapses-into-administration-owing-25m-customers-left-with-no-insurance/news-story/b8cd4682c1fbc638d419b763a18af731 We've seen our fair share of shocking building inspections, but this one ranks among the top. Invited by the homeowners for a Practical Completion Inspection (PCI) of two homes, we found ourselves in a maze of poor craftsmanship and unmet standards. Surprisingly, these homes have received an Occupancy Permit, with the Registered Building Surveyor declaring them fit for habitation. Join us as we dig into the core issues, including a BAL Rating requirement of 12.5 that fell drastically short. Despite the glaring errors, the Occupancy Permit confidently states, "At the date this occupancy permit is issued, the to which this permit applies is suitable for occupation". Are these homes truly ready for occupancy? Or have we stumbled upon a ticking time-bomb of compliance breaches? This inspection was among the most concerning we've encountered recently. Buckle up for a wild ride through this building labyrinth, filled with vital lessons for every homeowner and aspiring buyer. Want to help us create more videos?

Shocking Discoveries During Home Inspection: Poor Workmanship and Non-Compliance Uncovered In this episode of Site Inspections, we were called out to a triple story townhouse to investigate leaking balconies. However, the discovery of what was going on under the deck prompted the homeowner to remove part of the decking and uncover shocking evidence of poor workmanship and non-compliance.

The contractor promised to take care of her, but halfway through the project, he invoiced her for over $18,000 for waterproofing. Furthermore, our inspection video revealed that the waterproofing work done by the contractor was non-compliant and did not meet the manufacturer's technical data sheet requirements. This indicates that the contractor did not perform the work properly, and the homeowner has likely been overcharged for work that was not done correctly. It is recommended that the homeowner seek legal advice to determine the best course of action to rectify the situation and recover any losses incurred as a result of the contractor's actions. ——— 📌Want to help us create more videos?

Welcome to Site Inspections, the YouTube channel where we conduct thorough inspections for homes. In this video, the TikTok Inspector takes you on a journey through a stage inspection for a first home buyer's property. During the inspection, we discovered non-compliant works in the waterproofing, despite it being signed off and ready for tiling. Using our Predator gauge and ultrasound device, we were able to uncover additional defects in the thickness of the membrane and substrate preparation. If these issues are not fixed, water leaks will occur, causing damage to the property and potentially posing a risk to its occupants. It's crucial that these issues are addressed prior to tiling to ensure a watertight and secure home.

In this suspense-filled episode of Site Inspections, we take you on a handover inspection journey. A handover inspection is the final check on a newly built property before the owner takes possession, often performed to ensure all contractual obligations have been met and any defects rectified. The homeowner in question was being asked to pay before possession, and our scheduled inspection was initially hindered as the builder mistook me for a random individual, despite the agreed-upon date and time for the inspection. After establishing my credentials, the builder allowed me to carry out the inspection. As expected, the property was ridden with non-compliant works, ranging from roofing to waterproofing issues. When I highlighted a breach in the waterproofing standards to the builder and explained its implications and the need for rectification, his response was shockingly unbelievable. Caught on body cam, you don't want to miss his reaction.
