I worked for the company that installed that garage door. I can tell you that a lot of the new homes in both Bendigo and Ballarat are built using shortcuts. Often there would be no fixings installed, or they'd only be secured by a couple of nails. I know this because I worked in the industry, but for the average homebuyer, there's no way they'd know about these types of issues unless they had it independently inspected.

he needs to bring in "discombobulated" into his vernacular

The Safety Rail they put up for the roof tilers is the reason the roof insulation is not lapping over the fascia. When they instal the rail the posts they use stick up out of the roof near the top plate. So when the tiler rolls the sarking out each time he comes to a post he needs to cut it around the post. Which then should be taped up and pulled over the fascia when the Rail Blokes come and pull the rail down but they rarely do.

@randombilly09

ayee this guy knows the job. while we definitely do try pulling the insulation over. we were never in charge of taping the roof. as my boss said. the roofers are meant to come back through and tape it. i know its happened on some houses. the roofer or just an inspector will come through and tape off the cut bits. its a shame that it was never even thought about!

That decaying structure reminded me of a multi unit development here in Adelaide that was stopped in winter with all framing complete but fully exposed to the wettest winter and spring Adelaide had in many years. All the timber was completely grey, exposed for over six months. Then... work began again and everything was covered up. I wonder if the million dollar unit owners know.

Would be good if you could update some of reports on these houses that you inspect as i am intrested as to what the outcome was when the builders are presented with the reports and the corrective actions taken, great channel keep up the good work.

A friend has the exact same design house in another suburb about 5km from Huntly. They've had the house a few years since they bought it and have already had water ingress issues at the edge of the house and also a matching leaking shower in the ensuite. There are literally dozens if not 100's of identical (including mirrored) houses like this across a number of estates in Bendigo and I'd suggest that pretty well all of them will be built to the same standard.

I own a 70+ year timber frame weatherboard on red gum stumps in Melbourne with need of constant repairs and I will never complain again after looking at these new shit holes they build now. I was planning on a demo and rebuild, I think I'll stick with the renovation instead, thank you very much for your informed inspections.

House I owned/sold a while ago in Adelaide was 70 odd year old. We had a big fella install security cameras and he got up in the ceiling. He commented how rock solid the hard wood beams in the ceiling were, compared to new homes where the beams would sway when he stepped on them.

In 1994 my wife & I brought a 4 bedroom architects home , on 850m2 block, built in pool, brick paved driveway, landscaped gardens, big kitchen, 2 car garage + carport, brick pillar and timber fencing ( in Rosebud ) for $145k - now look at what you get for $350k. Shows you clearly just how much purchasing power our currency has lost over the past 30 years. Rising costs is not the result of the cost of goods & services going up in price, rising costs is the consequence of every dollar buying less and less. The more $$$ government prints the more it dilutes the entire money supply. Gold on the other hand ( real money) never looses its purchasing power ( why) because governments can’t print it at will. Believe this or not…. It’s still True.

What you said doesn't make sense... Rising prices and money losing value are more or less the same thing. Although it's far more accurate to say prices have risen which is the normal course of an economy (it is only abnormal when some things increase more than others or the average rate goes above a certain percentage). Australia doesn't print much money and most of the money that is printed (same as with the US) often doesn't enter general circulation - most money isn't literally printed, it's digital and used for non general circulation. There is no sinister cabal trying to make people poor, it's just poor governance and politicians only caring about their next press release or vote leading to a building/trades/housing market that is farked. FYI if you had $400 of gold in 1990 it would now be worth about $2,000... you would have been better off putting that $400 into a savings account.

The "power point" for the gas heater is not a standard power point. Its a quick connect plug with no switch on it, mainly used for downlights but they are controlled by a light switch so they don't need to have a switch next to the plug.

just use a good builder and stop trying to get a house built for nothing. its not cheap to build a good house its even more expensive to build a great house. the problem is that everyone wants a house for the least amount of money. have a look into cost price for the building materials and how much you have to pay for management fees. a "builder" gets subcontractors to smash out the works at every stage (domestic and commercial) the whole industry is designed to support a couple of guys at the top of the tree doing fuck all and making all the money. the answer... find a local chippy or small builder with some known works who you trust and be an owner builder. take control of the build. you need help ask for it. dont use bulk builders

Bendigo is actually a lovely city and place to live, we have so much on offer here and Melbourne is only a short drive or train trip away. Don’t let these previous comments deflect from these facts. However, don’t buy in these mass produced areas like Huntly, Strathfieldsaye etc. they aren’t all bad but as a rule of thumb, the older the home the better the build.

self certification doesn't work as you have found out. most licenced builders shouldn't have a licence. Why is it that houses built 100 years ago with no silicone are still standing and were built by people that mostly couldn't read or write or even went to school. They were practice proud people not like today

The roof issues I could pick straight away but all the other issues, mate the builder should be hung out to dry for these issues. I have shown this video to my adult kids who are itching to purchase their own homes. Thanks for presenting mate. Subscribed.

That is all pretty terrible. I would say the insulation is because they under-ordered, or, got close to finished with a pack still closed and figured it was beer money to return it. Makes me wonder if the walls should have been insulated and if they were. It is pretty maddening that the builder has spent 3 months looking into the leak when a competent roof plumber would have picked it in minutes. Also, engineering pedant, Those are Bearing Balls from a Ball Bearing assembly.

yeah we have a JG King home that was built in Bendigo in 2004, and we had a certificate from JG King saying it had bradford batts in the walls. Recently discovered they didn't bother installing it, removed all of the plaster, no batts. I contacted JG King about it and sent them photos, and they didn't even reply! Though, this isn't a bendigo problem, shonky builders everywhere

Great to see you at the airport on your way back to Melbourne 🎉

Good info as always. Just as a suggestion. Could you at times try explain why something being non compliant will cause problems in the finished product? As a developer I have a very small circle of builders who do my developments. We have not followed the NCC on purpose at times due to the regulations actually making the property being built worse off and more prone to leaks in the long run. I have dealt/consulted with many people who have had a hand in writing the NCC and many have not had any actual physical building experience at all. Essentially office people who couldn't make it as a builder trying to find something else to do with no real world experience.

Never be fixed , builder got his money and shot through.

I had my Berwick home built by Henley builders in 2008. For the 2008 summer, we had refrigerated air con, not your standard water cooled air con installed. I hate the heat, so I wanted an aircon system that could easily cool the house when the temp is in the high 30s and I paid good money for it. So summer arrives and the aircon is on but not doing what it should be doing,blowing nice cold air. So Henley organise a aircon specialist to come out and he spots a big problem. The outside motor is too close to the new house, next door, that had just been built. Their garage wall was right in front of my aircon motor. So when it's running, it's blowing out hot air straight onto the neighbour's brick garage wall and the heat is rebounding back onto my aircon motor. So a new funnel was built to push the hit air up and away from the aircon motor. Great job done 👍. One month later, still a bit iffy with the cooling of the house. I had a burst appendix in late December 2008,sick as a dog 🤢 So after a few days I'm discharged from hospital and now back home. It's bloody hot outside 40+ degrees, The aircon is struggling,I have it flat out and it's still getting hot inside. So I get the ladder and climb inside the roof with a torch. What do I find but four aircon big hoses not connected to the ceilings outlets ! All this time this was the problem. So back down the ladder to get gaffer tape,back up the ladder, it's like 50 degrees up there, I've just had a major operation , sweats pouring off me,my wound is seeping and I have to lift this big intact air con hoses and tape them onto the ceiling inlets. Not an easy job when you're sick and injured, finally job done. I'm covered in dirt ,sweat and a weeping wound ! Check all the outlets and every room is now Ice cold. With the inspection the wall in front of the motor was not picked up nor were the four disconnected aircon hosed ! After all the issues and cost factor with a new home,I vowed never to build a new home after then.

What is wrong with the training for younger people learning the building trade in Australia? And yes I am referring to ALL states in Australia. What is wrong with the supervision of younger people learning the building trade in Australia? and What is wrong with the training and of building surveyers and the supervision of people authorised to inspect a new building? Who checks the building surveyers report? Should there be a more detailed and more demanding course be developed and more detailed examinations be set? Such as exams set by committees that include syllabus experts who have a successful record of building high standard work that is consistently compliant? Something is surely wrong at all levels if buildings are constantly failing to be compliant in multiple ways? How can rules and consequences be instigated so that repeat offenders are able to be dealt with to improve their shoddy work? What can governments and legislation and TAFE do to eradicate so much non-compliance? Because these problems - leading to water damage, leading to pests entering the home through holes left by the builder and unsafe structures seem to be so very prevalent in the industry.. How can builders create a non-compliant shower in the bathroom? What were they thinking? And for the safety of all parties on a building site can random un-announced drug tests be imposed on all parties on a building site on a regular basis? Because I am at a loss that so many mistakes are occurring that I have to wonder if brains affected by illicit drugs is affecting their ability to work consistently to a high srtandard of alertness.

At 18 min I don't think you are right. The install is different to the drawing. The drawing has the tiles ending under the shower screen, the 15 mm required is to the bottom of the screen. The install is better, the tiles come out to a 5mm lip which you are measuring. It is the shower screen you should be measuring, it looks like it is valid at 15mm.
