Any "concealed carry" flashlights need to be surrendered at the entrance to the property together with measuring tape and hidden ladders. A laser level or level bar is likewise prohibited. You may not use a thermal camera or any device that could uncover hidden defects. Obviously this is all done for protection and safety 🤪
I’d question any “builder” that goes to work in a pristine white dress shirt …

My Father did a seven year apprenticeship. He’s currently 76 and is now doing soft jobs for his age. He has said, that a tradesman worth is his salt., would ensure his name would not be in disrepute after the job was done. In other words, leave the job properly executed to perfection. He is a tradesman. How I long for that standard in Australia.

Not all heroes wear capes; thank you for what you do to educate and advocate.
Hi I'm a HC Truck driver from Sydney Australia and I really enjoy your videos. The Victorian Building Authority (VBA) has a 1.6 star rating on Google. That is to be expected because I recently watched one of your videos of a Lady that paid over 40k for a completely defective job, also got the VBA involved and nothing was done about it.
@fletcher932
8 ай бұрын
Why was $40k handed over for a completely defective job? Wouldnt the logical thing to do be to have pointed out the parts of the job that are sub par, in writing? And to have with held progress ma payment until rectified? I understand not everyone is a building inspector or doesn't have in-depth construction knowledge but at some point people need to take some responsibility. Crying victim and expecting an under funded government department to sort out incompetent scamming contractors (that the customer chose to engage) and customers that are dumb as dog shit is deluded.

@@fletcher932I could also argue that the government set a false expectation here of their capabilities of enforcement, and while they campaign a lot about cyberscams, they could probably do the same for our building industry. Although I suspect it’s quite a house of cards given the already unfavourable demand supply and no government wants to be the one to topple it

LOL! He already knows you gonna pull him up on non-compliant works and he's packing himself :) "Do your best and silicone the rest".
This guy looks concussed from the shockwave,he probably can't believe of all the inspectors in Victoria its you thats turned up to do the inspection,he must be familiar with your youtube channel and realises he's about to get exposed and humiliated. 😂
Oh yes the fellow sounds legit 😅 no ladders boiiii! Fly like superman 🦸♂️
Unbelievable. Makes you wonder what is lurking inside that house LOL
Interesting tactic. Now for some "extra" work in the compliance report as payback.
If I was the owner of this house, i think i would be worried about right now....
Bossman with the receipts 😂😂. Love this guy should have his own TV show
Great video this is What to expect from a guy giving you a hard time for a inspection a shamozoul seriously.

He changed his Daks after that short incounter with the Assassin Inspector😂
No access to inspect = Instant Failure here.
Let's Go.....I can smell non compliance already
Is that water ingress? No, its pooling sweat. 💦
Very well handled from your side. He wasn't ready for the scaffold question letalone that you could just send the safe work method statement on the spot. I am sure you are very fair, but dealing with an attitude like that necessitates added inspection scrutiny. What's there to hide?
I watch your videos almost every morning before work. One of my clients is building in Greenvale and ive been going to do work on his house past few days and im dying for you to come see it. It looks so shit and i love my client and want him to get the best. Im going to talk to him about getting you on.

Love your videos I know exactly where you are at that house . Be a fare few more around there that are nqr. Keep up the good work
The builder obviously knows there's many non compliant issues.
Just bought land to build on. Seriously considering flying you over to WA later in the year.
The only thing would be chooaing the right ladder, fibreglass/platform/step/whatever else, for the right job. I have one of those steel ladders and its sturdt as hell, and also heavy as hell.
Are you gonna posted a video of this inspection?
The VBA won't even pop access hole to inspect sarking and insulation omissions on a double storey house from the inside first floor as its unsafe..
Any builder that refuses entry to the Inspector should immediately be investigated by the Builder's Association and a building audit conducted by Council.
just sign off "unable to complete inspection due to being blocked from fulfilling the entire inspection
A builder wearing a white shirt? Never seen that before.
amazing , so scared of what you will find lol

Because the site manager was completely right. He did not have the right ladder for the job nor any fall prevention measures. Even when he got on the step ladder to try measure gutter fall with his level he was breaching safe work practice by climbing his step ladder to high. Being called out for "non compliant" job safety, who is the fool?
LOL, I thought you were talking about a welding torch or some kind of torch that heats with a flame. Figured that’s why he didn’t want to allow it. You were talking about a flashlight. 🤣🤣🤣
swms and sign on are all part of coming onto a site
What's there to be nervous about? Do a proper job and you'll have no worries. In my field we get random audits and compliance work checks all the time to the point we don't even think about it. Christ if Joe Public sees something that might look odd even if it's fine they can ring Energy Safe and have them on our backs to check up on possible issue.
Everything is done to spec, unless you inspect it. Schrödinger's quality.
Phone builders 😂
That would clearly be a restricted trade practice?
Need to see your SWMS hahahaha, I bet there not even close to running this job correctly in regards to safety haha.
