Dive deeper with us as we revisit the West Melbourne townhouses, a story that initially unveiled a shocking array of construction failures in properties worth nearly $2 million each. This time, our journey reveals even more harrowing discoveries, as the homeowner has stripped back the plaster to expose layers of new issues - from non-compliant fire partition walls to rusted steel and questionable engineering sign-offs. The dream of owning a brand new luxury home has turned into a living nightmare, prompting a desperate plea for a refund.
New Nightmares Exposed: Join us in this comprehensive update where we unearth additional catastrophic defects hidden behind the walls and ceilings. Every layer stripped back unveils a new dimension of the nightmare that these homeowners are living through.

The fact a current affairs went after this guy instead of the builder is the reason mainstream media is dying.
When’d they do that? Source?
Friendly Jordies shopping for a place that leaks like a sieve. It's much harder to firebomb a house when the walls and carpet are soaking wet.
😅😅😅😂
awww man dont do the mans like that haha
Forget MAFS or Big Brother; we need a reality show where dodgy builders and surveyors are named and shamed. And that Act that gives surveyors a pass needs to be changed today, keep up the pressure!
thats got a current affair written all over it
China has an annual TV program that exposes shonky businesses on March 15, which is World Consumer Rights day.
Now, we just need an independent body that does thorough unbiased investigations, with a proper operating framework that maintains its integrity -- to publicly name and shame dodgy individuals and companies for malpractice and disinformation.
There used to be a show from the UK about 10 years ago - it was called 'Cowboy Builders'. It was fantastic. So many shonky builders out there!
@@melhawk1352 there's also an American show called Holmes Inspection as well. Pretty good.
@@stevejacksonuu MSM has way too many developer mates to expose this kind of stuff
Crooked (allegedly) property developers threatened Jordie's life in NSW - and his parents' lives & his dog's life. So Jordie teams up with the site inspector and comes after the Melbourne shonky mob.
Gotta love a bloke who won't lay down.
When you know you're in the right and have a duty to expose corruption nothing will stop you
the grubs that built and signed off on this need to be in jail
I reckon that’d stop them!
All these Asian guys passing the buck..
They come to Australia where we have higher housing prices, build a quick, cheap and shonky build for maximum outcome..
Smh
Welcome to Australian property building, completely corrupt to the core.
@@jaggirl Not just Asians...most of the organized crime groups are also in on it. This is how we get upstanding individuals like Richard Pusey, Salim Mehajer and John Barilaro etc... becoming millionaires. Factory for millionaires and easy money why not?
This work is roughly equal to what I could do (that's not a compliment) :P .
This is CRIMINAL! If those floors and/or ceilings collapsed and killed someone, the builder and sub-contractors should be charged with MANSLAUGHTER!!
Has someone died?
@@jasonnorling1935 When your life is ruined by some SB, let's see if you will just shrug it off and forget about it! You do realise that people go to jail for crimes other than killing?
nothing will happen they just keep building - no worries
Nope, not in Australia 😮
They would be charged with manslaughter if that happened.
I have a family member that works as a plasterer in the Melbourne area. He consistently witnesses builders cutting corners to the extent where the home will only just last within the short warranty period. He has even witnessed builders involved with the theft of materials. For example they'll organise entire kitchens, bathrooms etc to be stolen from construction sites, whether it be their own or someone else's. As an independent plasterer they are treated like dirt by the builders, and has no power to report any of it without losing their job at best.
Happens in NZ too.
Council signs off on insulation all fitted once council building inspector goes, they take all the insulation back out then gib over it
Tell them to quit and find someone who is honest. Bad builders do not care about anyone's health and they are dangerous to be around.
The law is there to protect the builders not home owners! Every failed inspection has been approved through a government agency?? They can get by with poor workmanship because the law doesn’t take in or account for poor craftsmanship?? The only recourse is taking them to court, think what happens when they are held liable they just close shop and reappear under a different name, it’s the same problem in North America as well!! Until someone can take the inspector or government to court nothing will change, there are countless videos of inspection companies like yours with costly issues and failed work!! Nothing like 200 tubes of silicone to fix a 2 million mistake! These home owners are probably going to have to hire a professional engineer to prove to the court the failed building and costs to repair! Codes to builders are general guidelines, that letter only proves the ability to pass responsibility and how there are protected from liability for doing nothing?? What it does prove how the inspection process is flawed!! By sighing off they assume responsibility it’s actually fraudulent on part of the builder?
They'll.over order materials, charge them out then use the extra to make their own renovations
That's the point though. I'm in Canada, and my dad was in construction. He said condos/townhouses like this were job security for him and the boys. They get thrown up quick and cheap. Then when they start to fall apart in 5 years. They move everyone out and rebuild it proper like.
Thank you for exposing corruption within the building industry. The builder should be held accountable and the building surveyor should lose their licence to practice!!
Both should have personal fines. BIG fines.
@brenttrotter88 If not jail, this is fucking someone's life over.
Fuck that. Off to prison.
@@leinad.sya right this is criminal, it’s fraud if u ask me, or theft!!!!
And the people signing this shit off
When you think you have problems with your property, these videos make you feel better and not alone and good to see someone holding builders accountable.
It's a double edged sword.
I just got burnt by a customer I tried to help, because of her circumstances.
I was set-up by the conniving Btch!!
Before I started watching these videos, I thought the newbuild I bought 8 years ago had its issues, but by comparison, I now feel like I'm in heaven and all is well on planet earth. Mostly the rendering subcontractor that botched the job a bit in my case, so might have to have the whole house rerendered at some point, but so far no moisture ingress, despite the cracks in the render, so I guess it's constructed in a way that the render is mostly decorative and I can count my lucky stars. Complete rerender would be around $15k-$20k USD and the warrantee company that the development was under went bust during COVID.
Probably in 10 years when 90% of people’s homes are mold infested he could get elected to parliament
After watching his videos I sometimes get a shiver down my back thinking about my house... but then I remember I built it myself to spec and it's all good :)
Unfortunately, it seems that nobody is accountable.
The more I watch, the more I’m convinced the builder will simply wind up the business thus removing himself from any liability. Our company and building laws have failed us
Sigh…that just happened FYI..
Having friendlyjordies there was such a power move
These type of houses make you appreciate the craftsmanship that went into Victorian style houses and houses that took its time to be built because they stand/stood the test of time. Guaranteed that majority of the new housing being built in newer suburbs are all dodgy like this yet they’d all have $1mill price tags. They all need to be exposed
Back in those days they were part of a community that relied on a persons word and honour. Now no matter what their background they will try to lie and steal and they get away with it.
Goldnest Construction Pty Ltd
Do what you want with this guys lol
@@barbecueman6352 But back then they didn't have all these "high-tech", cost reduced, "green" building materials which must be installed "just right" so the building doesn't collapse. All those Victorian era homes are definitely "non compliant" with today's building standards, and were all over-engineered brick shit-houses, with next to no natural ligh, solid brick everything and maybe some asbestos insulation. Great for standing the test of time. Not so great when you need to replace the kerosene lamps with electric lighting. Don't even mention the butchery done by NBN install techs 100 years later.
@@CharGorillathe irony is that newly built houses are just as non compliant as the Victorian era houses
This comment is racist
you're telling me I can sell three shipping containers duct taped on top of each other with some MDF in between for $3.1m if it's in West Melbourne
- shipping containers would not have structural integrity issues
- 2.1 m, not 3.1 m
- you pay for location, 2.1 m is not expensive for this location
yep, and probably that stapled containe are better compliant 😊
Shipping containers are designed to last, This home is a Tofu building, Fall apart during the next major storm.
I mean... yes.
Containers are built better. Stronger,fairly resistant to salt water and most of the time the walls are straight. I'd love to be able to build using just shipping containers.
I've fixed 5 of these steel stud homes now. Each multi million dollar homes. Shotty work at every level, the home owners suffered cost and schedule overruns that were astronomical. Unqualified trades at every level. Very sad.
Might need to get legal advice about finding a way to NAME the builders and surveyors! The Government aren’t interested in protecting us from this crap! You might be the hero we need
Cant, it’s tortious interference. only the VBA can
Goldnest- a fly by night mob China it appears to be
@@alfstewart22 thanks Alf
And just think.. they're looking to reduce red tape to make it easier for builders to build more homes to solve the housing crisis. If you think it's bad now, imagine what it's going to be like in the future.
look at it as it is. there breaking the rules now. reducing the red tape will have more builders building quicker. its up to the regulator to actually do there job. make the red tape easier to cut. now, while removing red tape enforcement of rules and mega penalties applied. that would sort.it put quick smart
@@748tech Do you actually hear the words that come out of your mouth and think "hmm yes this makes sense and I should share this thought with everyone"?
@kezia8027 yes, the the current system of over regulation and lack of enforcement is working so well. You obviously have zero idea as every builder who is worth paying says the same.
reduce the regulation to get things moving cheaper and enforce the standards set out.
your concepts is use more rules that aren't enforced anyway. do you think before replying?
Thank you albo for increasing immigration, its really enriching Sydney so much
All quality issues are preventable by controlling input (quality materials, quality skills), process (standards, practices, education, re-education) and outputs (stage controls, replace contractors, fixing mistakes).
Inputs hard to fix but easy to choose right ones, outputs - very costly to do, process is manageable by education and enforcement but it job only for good political policies…
Young Alvi is extremely impressive with his knowledge and keen eye for detail. Both of you are real professionals.... Unlike everyone else concerned in this cluster fluck!
That one little screw fighting for its life holding up the whole staircase
That car stacker gap is far more serious than a simple fall. A child could enter and be crushed underneath.
Even an adult could suffer nasty injuries even if they didn't fall all the way through.
2 day wait for the video is non compliant
Unbeeeeeelievable
That's funny 😂😅😊
I know right?
It's a shamozzle
@@pyromaniac354 It's Schlimazel! You're non-compliant!
"Wooow... mate!"
Just looking thru' this Vidclip .... ALL the Home Owner should be refunded the FULL Amount.... The Building CAN NOT be rectified .... It is a Tear-Down ans Start Again !!!!! .... Just a Simple thing like the Beams being 250mm instead of 300mm .... That CAN'T be fixed, It is Part of the Structure from the 1st Floor All the way to the Top. Under the Top Decking, those Beams have No WEEP/DRAIN holes .... No More than 5 Years and those beams will Fail TOTALLY. Those various 'Fixings' Should be absolutely CONDEMED. THAT BUILDING is NOT SAFE to LIVE IN .... Period ..... AND This Just That we can SEE, What else is Lurking Unseen ????.... Thanks for a Great Vidclip .... Cheers from ChCh, NZ
builder will file for bankruptcy, each townhouse has ~ $800.000 worth of land, this is all what homeowners will have
@@test143000 Yes, My thoughts exactly .... Watch the Border .... !!!!!..... The Builder / Developer will 'Skip' with whatever he can get their hands on, ALSO leaving Million Owing to the Subbies ans Suppliers ..... 'Watch this Space'. I doubt IF the Land is worth That, Such a Small Footprint.... Then there will be the Demo and Clean-Up costs .... In the end it will be Very Close to a Total Loss .... SADLY .... SICKENING !!!!!! .... :-( :-( :-( Their Sharks out of the Ocean Too .... !!!!!
Getting your money back is not a thing in this business, at least not before long and expensive court action.
While you're right, they should and probably could via the courts, it's hard to do.
This is genuinely horrendous though
@@bibsp3556 And how do you retrofit the seismic force resisting system?
'All parts of the structure must be tied together both in the horizontal and vertical planes so that forces generated by an earthquake from all parts of the structure, including structural and other parts of the components are carried to the foundation.'
Ref: VBA Earthquake design and construction
Mate, those stairs?! The washers barely cover the bolt holes and that piddly little screw holding the steel stringer... WTF??? These inspectors/surveyors need to be locked up along with the builders. Keep up the great work!
That was unreal hey
I'm going to guess that the building surveyor who inspected and then signed off on these units has already boarded a plane and left Australia.
Could start a trend!
52:21
1:16:00 yup, already MIA
This is heartbreaking. These people should be enjoying the realisation of living in their dream home, not going through this nightmare. I might own a cheap 70s shitbox, but It's still structurally sound after 50 years (and 1 flood) and I can relax without fearing that the entire thing with come down in my sleep. I love how the builder just says, 'yeah mate, i did it all good (if you class it as a shed)' and that's enough to pass it. I hope these people find justice.
Nice to see Jordies stop by. And I love the woman questioning the engineer. She rocks.
Property Developer: It wasn't me
Inspectors: It wasn't me
Engineers: It wasn't me
Builders: It wasn't me
LOL
Hire the third world, get third world quality.
Its 100% the fault of the owner, no oversight and trying to do it as cheap as possible.
You get what you pay for. This is why i despise those cheap flip developers, they always do it, if you dont keep an eye on them they will full the walls with dirt.
its the meme with four spidermans all pointing at eachother
Tradesman who actually did it: It wasn’t me
Ingenious system isn't it?
@@googleslocik Ah yes, no "true blue" Aussies do shit quality work. Just all them fuggin foreigners!
Don't forget to vote whatever the corrupt POS Hanson tells you..
I repeat after you: "What's happening in this country???"... I feel very ashamed!
I love my house from the early 70's more and more after seeing these inspection videos
Are you sure everything is compliant? :)
Not so sure about Asbestos, but the rest should be solid.
@@tonyseektruth in the 70s there were no Asian or Middle east non english speaking illegals with non visa walkking around on building sites with no insurance or building knowledge... HUGE difference ... and almost nothing was made in China then
1990’s are also sweeeeeet 🩵
@@Claytonation I worked in the building industry in the 1990's, it's the reason I got myself an owner builders licence.... There were shonks back then too, i could tell you stories like this easily on million dollar houses too, all in the 1990's....
The colab we never expected with Friendly Jordies. Love to see it
Keen for this! It's the collaboration we never knew we needed!
or wanted
I did 😂 Made a post on his last video saying he should meet up with him and he replied, "Video already on the way."
I think jail time for the builder and the people who sign off the paperwork
Nothing like building something significant and saying "it should be okay". Oozing confidence.
“Points for recycling I suppose”
Dead 😂😂😂😂
What we need is a pre plaster frame inspection. When all the electrics and plumbing are finished.
Finally YT's algorithm actually recommended something that, ordinarily I wouldn't seek out (absolutely no building knowledge) but I'm fascinated!
Your personality shines and your videos are not only educational but so entertaining (well besides being heartbroken for the home-owners, especially the couple from Emerald, QLD). Instant sub and I'll recommend your channel.
I watched three videos (4hrs) back to back (it's now after midnight).
Great content mate, I can see you reaching 100K subs in no time!
Thank you for this kind comment 🙏
It mean a lot ♥️
Goldnest Construction
Such a high price and such a poor choice of materials with massively faulty execution. In Western-Europe every floor would be poured with solid reinforced concrete. These light steel trusses of questionable Chinese origin with cheap chipboard as flooring are no replacement for solid floors. This is more akin to Chinese “Tofu-Dreg” construction than to western standards. No surprise that the construction company who built this is Chinese owned and managed.
Who you think makes up the majority here😅
It's far beyond holding an individual builder/surveyor accountable, it's about getting the correct information to the masses to inform them of best practice when looking to build, how to discern dodgy from competent professionals. I think it's exactly like learning how to learn navigate the internet and not infect your PC with malware/viruses etc.
The balcony overflow is so completely unbelievably fucked up. Has to be criminal at this point. 5:40
2.1 million dollarydoos...
2M for a box thatll need a tear down and rebuild in 3 years
There has to be some sort of corruption going on with the vba.
Could it be the offshore developers lining the vba and governments pockets and there just signing off thier own work all in house? 🤔
Follow the money.
You hit the nail on the head!!
interesting to see what happens now as apparently the government sacked the whole vba board. hopefully it means an overall and new and actually useful vba. but i doubt it. to many pencil pushes in there and not enough trades persons with actual experience
I think it's far less nefarious. You've got people that are just finding the laziest possible way to do their job and when they never face a single repercussion or have some kind of indemnity - they will keep doing it.
There is, but it's complicated. Housing pressure is a huge political issue at the moment, so being able to say "we build x amount of new housing in the area" puts pressure on local governments to approve, as they get pressure from state government to increase their population capacity in their wards. Then on top of that, go to any political drinks night, and see who is there, it's 75% real estate agents, or construction ceos. They love to feel important, they provide lots of jobs and can provide for a political hunger in the population. They get away with loads. But it's how the game is played. You gotta go rub shoulders too, so you can bend their ears. It's not really so much money, as much as always being around the people that make the decisions.
I used to live in a brand new block of townhouses that were built so bad.. if you leaned against a wall in the kitchen you could see the wall flex in the garage.
Then bumped into someone years later who coincidentally worked on building them. Reckons every corner that could be cut was cut
Why arent all the other owners kicking up about it its obvious the whole complex is non compliant!!!
Maybe they are.
Unfortunately,we can't even trust the inspector's anymore.....Keep it up,luv da vids😊
IMO most likely paid off by the developers.
@@manahapu yep
"Shame on VBA and the building surveyor" well said. The bastards from VBA should be resigned and the surveyor to be jailed
Just googled the builder, and google says, temporarily closed. Suddenly, the builder has disappeared since you started sharing videos of their dodgy build.
At least the builder saved money ordering from their cousins from Alibaba. I was worried about how they would register another business under a different name without money. God bless the VBA.
US general contractor here. I was seriously inspired by this guy to seek out being a site inspector myself in my area. When reaching out for the 120hr class, I found there are about 20 options, and the lowest possible cost for a "fundamentals course" in my area is $3,500...i guess ill just keep worrying about my duke size and that weird smell from my bathroom faucet...
Bro for 3500 bucks it’s a pretty easy job
Loving your fire safety consultant
You need a website to blacklist these builder, inspectors, developers and realestate agents. You will be doing a great favour for the public.
Manifesting collab with PurplePingers!
WAIT, this is such a random cross over I LOVE IT😍😍😍😍
When two of my favourites collaborate, it gives me hope.
I'm pumped for this collab, nice cross over!
I'm a little confused. So the surveyor has no responsibility in any of the defects that were signed as ok ? Getting the OC means absolutely nothing ?
They do have professional indemnity insurance, and there's the VBA Code of Conduct.
I love the building surveyor's email, which basically says his issued Occupancy Certificate means nothing and is an unconscionable waste of paper.
This is genuinely insane. Stay safe out there big fella.
The builder is Frank Spencer & Co
if im right this looks like 218 rosslyn street west melbourne. one of the places is up for rent for $1900 per week rent and seemingly averaging $2500 rent a week. thats crazy to be paying that much to live in a place that has so many issues and seems like it could fall apart at any point.
One of the properties is listed for $1.5m. imagine paying $7k a month for a mortgage one this, insane behaviour.
All this so you can live in a "TownHaus" building built by the ViaPac group
I’m speechless. How can the V B A ignore this? It is morally wrong and goes against everything we are taught growing up in this country. Seriously how can this be allowed any longer.
I hope you have sent a please explain to V B A?
Our government bends over for international money boxes here in Australia
The only solution is to bring back council certification like 30 years ago.
Agree, but councils are duck shuving liability and insurance. My certifier is paying 50K pa insurane
Big reason they got rid of that system was so many council inspectors were taking brown paper bags from developers. May as well just bypass that and the builders can pay the money directly.
Also many council inspectors / MBS lack experience.
@@smiddysmidton8313 so exactly whats going on now
Everything should go into a lawyers trust account till inspection are done right. Then builders should get paid
Or hold the money in a trust account for 6 months and if anything goes wrong the home owner get a refund
You are of great value my friend!
I haven't watched in full yet, but watching you give your key chains away reminded me that my daughter wants one for her 16 birthday. If that doesn't tell your something about how wide your target audience is, I don't know what does.
Just discovered this channel, nice work mate. Someone really needs to be doing this, good on you for taking up the mantle. Would love to see you go one step further and name those who approved of this and signed off on it. It will mean taking on corrupt local council officials, but I've seen so much of this myself, it is long overdue.
Beyond remediation. Feel for the home owners. Heartbreaking to watch
Thank God for site inspections. It might not feel like it sometimes but I’m sure he is making a huge difference in the industry
Hey it's FriendlyJordies! 👍
If he's not a regular on the SI show, I hope SI keeps a button of Jordies giggling as a repeat response to the building non-compliance in future videos.
State of that bloke at 1:03:36, imagine trying to get an answer out of him as your home falls apart
Some shady deals apparently are going down, in Australia, from the builders to the inspectors, hands are being greased tho whole way and in the end the homebuyer ends up paying the price……Smfh!
haha what, friendlyjordies doing site inspections!? Or maybe jordies hired you for security ;p
Glad I'm not the only one that was like, friendlyjordies... wtf?!? Lol oh wait, it really is friendlyjordies. 😂

They needed you in the video 😂😂. Love your videos btw 😊

Wow, the screw holding up the metal beams that support the stairs is scarry. The overflow going into the wall is bad. There is so much wrong here.

Please start the video, I'm starving
I'm really looking forward to this video, saw the original one on it and boy I wish we get more follow up videos soon.
Goldnest Construction Pty Ltd are the "builders" I gather ? . . and the Company who signed off is known as (Bldg.Eng) Hawke St West Melb ?
Ha did a Google search, temporarily closed!!
Another commentor said it was Frank Spencer and co
I was told 10 years ago that the building quality were going to drop massively
this is the highest design, supervision, management & trade incompetence on all levels, these people need to face charges & not be allowed back in the industry in any way
This video makes me feel sad for the whole industry because with all the new houses being built and all the new housing being done really fast, you just know they’re all going for 1mill plus but I can bet majority of them would be non compliant and dodgy affff!
Ohhh Class Action time naming everyone , that would make people think twice
Inspector should be sacked and banned from the industry as should the builder and contractors…
There needs to be a Royal Commission into the building industry and their shoddy practices.
Yeh, right, the system is corrupt all the way to the top, the courts are gone, only street justice now, because it's out of control !
Condemn the entire development. Full refunds for all who want one.
So like does anything ever happen or someone accountable, everyone just plays the blame game and no outcome?
this guy could easily have his own show on TV whilst actually helping the industry
Wow an actual good use for the Apple Vison Pro.
Sherlock Homes would be a good channel name for these investigations
Brilliant work, keep it up!

Fascinating videos mate and very well produced - I wonder if it would be a good idea to do occasional cutaways to what these things ideally should look like?
Hopefully Jordan uses all this when he's rebuilding his home
He was renting the one that was bombed.
The problem is the government has let standards slide as part of a jobs creation bonanza - both now and in future when these houses degrade quickly and need replacing.
Full employment means even the “she’ll be right mate” brigade get to build houses, and surveyors too afraid to criticize the builders that employ them.
I don't know the first thing about building but when I saw nails through the steel frames, I actually LOL'd.
The whole process is corrupt. Some major issues with the Aussie housing industry. Great job exposing this.
They should be entitled to a complete refund.

It's illegal but we are living in a society that chooses laws to suit it's own agenda.

The Greed in property at the moment is getting unbelievable. Chinese contractors should be scrutinised with far more prejudice.
1:10:00 how dismissive these guy's are to the poor woman the amount of money $2.2M
1:16:36 I'm sure the act would address wether or not the building inspector had been negligent or is committing fraud.
49:47 eddy currents is a term from electrical engineering, basically a conductor, pretty much any metal will induce currents when it moves through a magnetic field, or a magnetic field moves past the conductor. The current induced creates its own magnetic field in the metal, which works against the inducing magnetic field. There are a lot of demonstrations of this, when you let a metal pendulum pass through a magnetic field it gets slowed down so much that it basically stops. This effect is often used at rollercoasters to stop the rollercoaster without having to worry about wear and tear for breaks, for example.
However, I have absolutely no clue why they would introduce eddy currents for anything in the wind loading section of a house construction, especially in regard to response spectrum design… this makes no sense at all.
Thank Mate . Exposing how the building industry operate in Melb . First developers doesnt want to pay to a structural engineer consultants. Always engaged the cheaper on the market . Second doesnt want to pay structural engineer to inspect the work on site . Third Builders some of them doesn't even know how to read the drawings. and doesnt want to pay to engineer to review the alternative . They just do it .
I hope you keep us all updated on this build. This builder, surveyor and engineer all should be removed from there property.
