The downward slope on quality housing has been going on for near 15 years, as a huge increase in population creates overwhelming demand for homes, we are now in many cases at third world standard of builds with homes just slapped together by inexperienced people calling themselves certified tradesmen and greedy builders not giving a hoot about their clients apart from grab the money, job done!

This is why you appoint your own inspector to follow the build, so these things don't happen and accumulate. The bad builder will hate you, like you care...
My Son just built his first house. I wanted to inspect everything myself, but he insisted on a building inspector. Great idea, but the so called inspector didn't pick up on many things other than bad paint work. So I've been fighting with the builder getting things fixed. These videos from a GOOD inspector have been very helpful. Also, once you've had an inspector in, the builder thinks he only has to fix what the inspector picked up on his inspection. There are too many things to list, and we are not being too fussy. My house was built 35 years ago and is still higher in quality than my sons.

Thanks for doing this channel, I've been looking for a good WA building inspector. I have bought houses twice and the inspector was useless, didn't inspect properly.
So what is new in W.A. building standards? After three different roofers had a go at fixing a roof flood, it turned out that the only way to get it done properly was to do it myself and discover missing structure that none of them picked up. The missing pieces were discovered in the roof space down the other end of the house. Was probably closed over temporarily against inclement weather and forgotten. The overflowing valleys were another matter. When you do your own work, you can rest satisfied that you are the only one to blame.
There is no such thing as "professionals" anymore, just a mob of incompetent clowns and cowboys. Next to no regulation as well. Apologies to the minority who still take pride in their quality work.
Please explain about about the downpipes in the garage, whilst it looks like a problem, explain why it's non compliant or illegal to us non tradies? Thank you!
No i don't think you should plainly expose the dodgiest builder you've seen. I think you should do your job as thoroughly as you do as I really like these videos they are informative, and keep on doing a great job, pass the report on and let the report, how the client deals with it etc eventually expose them. Great work man I always watch these videos
Surely there is a design drawing showing the locations of the down pipes?. How can the roof plumber just bring them down inside the garage?. Are the soak wells really installed under the garage floor?. The plan seems to be site fit up where ever the tradie wants to put them.
Have sent link to Sue Ellery's Office. Labor has a lot to answer for here. The Libs were no better, but Labor could have at least begun to fix the issue of incompetent and unscrupulous builders and trades. The HIA/MBA Contracts are grossly biased in favour of builders, and the dispute resolution mechanisms available to home owners are slow, ineffective, and often costly because too often, lawyers are needed since B&E is gutless and can't make its own determinations. The term "Practical Completion" needs a complete overhaul and a very clear and specific definition. What makes a house habitable? How many defects are permissible? What type of defects are allowed to exist at PC? Should these defects be allowed repair post-handover at the inconvenience of the homeowner once they've moved in? Should trades be allowed access to the interior of a home to effect countless major repairs once the home is occupied? Is the home to be left to trades while the owners must leave for work? It is outragrous the way the Contract reads at the moment. Changes cannot come soon enough!
The problem with some of these big spec homes builders is for the trades, who aren’t getting paid a lot to make any money at all and not go backwards or broke you have to go flat out, no hold ups, cut corners ect where you can…the project manager is always pushing because guess what? If it meets the deadline…he’ll get a bonus - so it’s almost in his best interest to not get the trades back and fix things and slow the job down if he thinks they’ll get away with it - evenif it’s for the time being. It’s the whole structure of the business not just the trades alone
@@WABuildingInspections you do inspections for an independent company? Are you allowed to go on a site and loom or do you have to contact the builder to enter?
@DanielBaumann-m4s running out of dwellings mate if you can believe lots of pressure for builds...I agree though some of these companies just riding ppl..just as bad as taking advantage of tenants I reckon.peace
Everyone seems surprised by this, in WA unless you supply your own inspector to do stage inspections there is no standard as the supervisor signs off. The way houses are built here is disgusting. The way concrete slabs are poured as a 3 part process leaving pressure points on internal corners causing cracks and then pouring the garage last as a floating slab, everything gets poured in one hit so there non of this happens, concreter's should know all this yet sadly they don't go to school to learn to concrete. The fact that I beams and load beams are blocked that's something that is outdated. The building game here is bullshit. The commission do nothing, neither do the state administration tribunal. Look at what has happened to BCG, now broke because they used sub par piping that is now exploding in people's roofs, affordable living homes is in the same mess. There are no quality builders in WA at all, nothing here is even done close to code or to a reasonable standard. I am very happy that I retired before the building game went to shit.
You know Garage Slab is different to the main House right? So of course it gets poured at the end of the Job. You have NFI what you are talking about I know the Plumber who did 30% of BGC work. He refused to use the overseas Piping. Good Trades build to a High Standard
I have just spent over $15k to fix roof and gutter system that was installed a long time ago. It important to remember the homeowner just wants work that meets the standards which we set as the minimum requirement .
Mate you need to give reasons why the work is dodgy and say why it dos not meet code, I am amazed how close the house is to the fence, what a disaster for the owner of this house, how do these people get their licenses.... so what kind of protection is there for the owner and how can all of the defects be remedied.

Get an inspector and take em to task - they often fix it.
Wow! I bought a property 14 years ago, and I’m still discovering shonky stuff to this day that makes me shake my head. But compared to house on this video, it doesn’t seem all that bad! What happens now, will the builder have to rectify all the issues you have located ?
Thank you for exposing these builders. Is this poor workmanship due to the fact that apprentices keep getting fast-tracked and don’t learn the trade properly or is it just laziness and earning a fast buck?
I would like to say yes, but have you seen the rates being charged by trades? there really is no excuse, now I say that noting I have no idea what they were paid, so possibly yes, quality and quality may be opposing but for the most part, I cant see a reasonable excuse for non compliance
The design complexity of these roofs are out of control, client isn't willing want to pay the true market rate to implement a compliant solution, builder underquotes the job and the result is this.
I know its wrong but you get what you pay for. These builders pay so little to the trades they will never get anyone good working on their jobs. You just hope you get a good supervisor when you build on a budget.
would never pay for any building work until my hired civil eng has gone right thru the joint this is theft, a swindle and fraud. My lawyers would have a field day with that dogs dinner
The reason such dodgy work is around is they have been getting away with it for too long, and customers who arent code readers accept it to get in their homes which go over projected time to get them desperate to finalize. It's a sad state of affairs indeed.
Sure thing Andrew, but the ones who save the customers thousands, are they useless? Would you prefer they don’t exist considering no checks are done on builders in WA?
@@andrewkerr5296 nope wrong - refer the IB and BA you will see my friend you are far from correct. - notice of cessation requires no checks other than a form filled out by builder - need an ambulance?
@@WABuildingInspections I know multiple Builders who have been investigated & fined by the Building Commission in the past 24 months. My previous Certifier was fined $10,000 for certifying plans without adequate Balcony Waterproofing detailed
Imagine saving your whole life to finally afford a home and receiving this crap instead. A house is the single biggest investment almost all people make and usually represents years of hard work by the owner. The least a builder could do is have some respect for that and do a decent job for their client.
Architect/Designer, builder and the trade for that specific area are all responsible! It can be tough for the trade as many architects can be asshats and won't budge on many things because their ego is too big and until you put your foot down with them only then will they change a part of their design. Most builders are clueless zombies with no idea and just go off what the trade and architect tells them. Builders are too busy trying to ensure that they have no blame in anything and want all of the others to take on the risk/blame!
Not really. Stupid complex roof design, sure, but that stuff is all trade failure IMO. Sink did not fit the cabinetry. Builders orders were wrong. Architects do not do that kind of detail. Exhaust fan is entirely on the Builder and Trades. Just not finished. Overly complex roofing design, maybe, but the Roof Plumber should have either fixed it or pushed back. Unless the Builder didn't use a Roof Plumber and DIYed it. Not sealing the roof cavity in a bushfire zone is entirely on the Builder and Trades. Architect does not need to specify that. Shower and Bathroom problems are entirely on the Builder and Trades.
Have been in the industry for 20myears and I feel for the owners and the builder should be de registered......... send the video to the Sunday Times, as they have the legal and financial strength to name and shame and more importantly possibly help the owners
I have the view that should happen too, sometimes companies are too big to fall. Sad for builder who are small and doing their best, against industry powerhouse companies.
Hard to have faith in the building Industry with this rubbish going on. is it a consumer related problem where the client just wants it built ASAP ? or is it a builder related problem for not supervising correctly or is it a government related problem for allowing unqualified subcontractors to operate?. I'd says it's a failure of all 3 levels. A builder is typically only a project coordinator and many supervisors' hold no qualification. a building site supervisor should hold a minimum cert IV building qualification. and the builder should ensure the site supervisor is completing their quality checks before confirming the trade as complete. the whole system needs overhauled
@@benjaminwatson4810 remember that there is the ability to claim years and years later if the works were non compliant to begin with, even beyond 25 years - yup believe it!!
i work in the trades and the stuff i see is unbelievable. There are builders i work for that i would never buy a house from or advise anyone too. Absolutely no repercussions for the builder ever.
Terrace homes. What do you expect. Rates are shit,they don’t give a shit about their trades. Crash and bash builders. Like 90% of builders in Perth shithouse rates pay peanuts get monkeys. Won’t change because they don’t care. If we were given the opportunity to quote these jobs work would come out differently. Painters for instance have to pay for their own paint and materials and get paid a pittence but we get the most items picked because we are a finishing trade. The building industry in WA sucks.
I’m a building surveyor, and I do insurance loss assessments. You wouldn’t believe the number of roof leaks and gutter overflows I see on new homes just from shit roofing. It doesn’t help that the gutter design in Australia is the shittest on the planet; who the fuck thought it’d be a good idea to have the rear wall of the gutter lower than the front, so when it overflows it dumps into the house? Add to that the gutter sits on the fascia, so there’s no fall towards the down pipes. And of course the downpipe mouth is at the rear wall of the gutter, so water just flows past it when it’s pissing down
cant get good tradesman because they don't want to pay for them. Cheaper tradesmen, substandard workmanship, more profit for the builder. All about greed.
I dunno if I want to watch this. Having seen and been called out to fix sooooo many dodgy handyman repairs, I suspect this would just depress me even more about the state of the building industry. And ... probably nothing I haven't seen before. So I'll pass, thanks anyway.
Surely a hydraulics engineer designed the roofing and water shedding for this house. I assume this is the case. Did the builder just follow a crap design. This should never be allowed to happen. Along with the other faults, name and shame is the only way.
@WABuildingInspections I've talked to chippies from other states that have moved to Perth and they have said that the regulations to be a qualified builder are lower or don't exist in WA is this fact?
@@jonv570 to be a licensed builder the qualifications similar as elsewhere in Australia. But you don't need to be qualified to be a chippie in WA, but to do any kind of jobs like this ( over $20000 job) there has to be a registered builder and it is the builders responsibility to check compliance. This job is flawed by the design, which is a major builder, and a lack of oversite by the builders supervisor.
@@jonv570 a registered builder depending on class requires the formal qualification as well as 7 years on site supervising, must demonstrate to the commission they are fit and proper along with a list of other stuff, then become Building Practitioners, they at that point can’t build for commercial gain u til they are or building contractors- it’s not easy.
My first thought as well. Horrid design, just asking for trouble. Add poor workmanship on top of that… That home will always have problems, no matter what you throw at it.
@@bigears4014 not a great design I’ll admit, but surely they the builder should say as much and either turn down the work, redesign m, or commit? Don’t half ass it on hopes and dreams.

The reason such dodgy work is around is they have been getting away with it for too long, and customers who arent code readers accept it to get in their homes which go over projected time to get them desperate to finalize. It's a sad state of affairs indeed.
That needs a re roof
Yes - and roof frame - wrong size tie down battens
Most Building Inspectors are Ambulance chasers lol
Sure thing Andrew, but the ones who save the customers thousands, are they useless? Would you prefer they don’t exist considering no checks are done on builders in WA?
@@WABuildingInspections
Checks are done on Builders all the time
Checks are also done on Certifiers all the time
@@andrewkerr5296 nope wrong - refer the IB and BA you will see my friend you are far from correct. - notice of cessation requires no checks other than a form filled out by builder - need an ambulance?
@@WABuildingInspections
I know multiple Builders who have been investigated & fined by the Building Commission in the past 24 months.
My previous Certifier was fined $10,000 for certifying plans without adequate Balcony Waterproofing detailed
@@WABuildingInspections
Building Commission are investigating Builders all the time, I know of Multiple in the past 24 months
Dodgy builders and dodgy inspectors need to be exposed no ifs of buts about it
What makes a dodgy inspector? I agree - many cowboys on both sides
Flat roofs need to be banned because roof tradies don’t know how to build them properly. Always go with a composite pitched roof.
nice, greasy rangehood cabinet
I love construction but god roofs are so boring to me no matter how bad or well they are built.
Australian standards 🫣😕🤦♂️, remember when they were the apparent envy of the world
Imagine saving your whole life to finally afford a home and receiving this crap instead. A house is the single biggest investment almost all people make and usually represents years of hard work by the owner. The least a builder could do is have some respect for that and do a decent job for their client.
@@matgee8892 exactly right!!!!
Like most goods these days, you're buying a liability not an asset, by design obviously. That way they make money on top of money and you get poorer.
Isn't the architect responsible for 70% of these issues? Just a dodgy design. Yes the builder is useless too
Architect/Designer, builder and the trade for that specific area are all responsible! It can be tough for the trade as many architects can be asshats and won't budge on many things because their ego is too big and until you put your foot down with them only then will they change a part of their design. Most builders are clueless zombies with no idea and just go off what the trade and architect tells them. Builders are too busy trying to ensure that they have no blame in anything and want all of the others to take on the risk/blame!
Not really. Stupid complex roof design, sure, but that stuff is all trade failure IMO.
Sink did not fit the cabinetry. Builders orders were wrong. Architects do not do that kind of detail.
Exhaust fan is entirely on the Builder and Trades. Just not finished.
Overly complex roofing design, maybe, but the Roof Plumber should have either fixed it or pushed back. Unless the Builder didn't use a Roof Plumber and DIYed it.
Not sealing the roof cavity in a bushfire zone is entirely on the Builder and Trades. Architect does not need to specify that.
Shower and Bathroom problems are entirely on the Builder and Trades.
Have been in the industry for 20myears and I feel for the owners and the builder should be de registered......... send the video to the Sunday Times, as they have the legal and financial strength to name and shame and more importantly possibly help the owners
I have the view that should happen too, sometimes companies are too big to fall. Sad for builder who are small and doing their best, against industry powerhouse companies.
Hard to have faith in the building Industry with this rubbish going on. is it a consumer related problem where the client just wants it built ASAP ? or is it a builder related problem for not supervising correctly or is it a government related problem for allowing unqualified subcontractors to operate?. I'd says it's a failure of all 3 levels. A builder is typically only a project coordinator and many supervisors' hold no qualification. a building site supervisor should hold a minimum cert IV building qualification. and the builder should ensure the site supervisor is completing their quality checks before confirming the trade as complete. the whole system needs overhauled
@@benjaminwatson4810 remember that there is the ability to claim years and years later if the works were non compliant to begin with, even beyond 25 years - yup believe it!!
i work in the trades and the stuff i see is unbelievable. There are builders i work for that i would never buy a house from or advise anyone too. Absolutely no repercussions for the builder ever.
What's it like inside can only imagine
And it’s probably 1mil + for something worth $100k build quality lol
Another moron who has NFI what they are talking about
Terrace homes. What do you expect. Rates are shit,they don’t give a shit about their trades. Crash and bash builders. Like 90% of builders in Perth shithouse rates pay peanuts get monkeys. Won’t change because they don’t care. If we were given the opportunity to quote these jobs work would come out differently.
Painters for instance have to pay for their own paint and materials and get paid a pittence but we get the most items picked because we are a finishing trade. The building industry in WA sucks.
That roof design is asking for problems
I know the builder - Kasra Naderi... worst dodgy and fraudulent.
I’m a building surveyor, and I do insurance loss assessments. You wouldn’t believe the number of roof leaks and gutter overflows I see on new homes just from shit roofing. It doesn’t help that the gutter design in Australia is the shittest on the planet; who the fuck thought it’d be a good idea to have the rear wall of the gutter lower than the front, so when it overflows it dumps into the house? Add to that the gutter sits on the fascia, so there’s no fall towards the down pipes. And of course the downpipe mouth is at the rear wall of the gutter, so water just flows past it when it’s pissing down
Yup - you would see your fair share, the designs have had no thought I agree with much of your comment.
Please name and shame theses builders 🙏
cant get good tradesman because they don't want to pay for them. Cheaper tradesmen, substandard workmanship, more profit for the builder. All about greed.
Would be good to get a follow video on this 👍🏻
@@loganm79 on it
Yes
Rat him out this crap needs to stop
Non compliant
What the actual fuck
Most likely the work of a younger under payed carpenter. You really get what you pay for in trades..
I dunno if I want to watch this. Having seen and been called out to fix sooooo many dodgy handyman repairs, I suspect this would just depress me even more about the state of the building industry. And ... probably nothing I haven't seen before. So I'll pass, thanks anyway.
What a terrible design to start with!.😂
Surely a hydraulics engineer designed the roofing and water shedding for this house. I assume this is the case. Did the builder just follow a crap design. This should never be allowed to happen. Along with the other faults, name and shame is the only way.
I hope, but no- designed in house……
And i thought it was bad in Qld
This is awful execution, but it's even worse design. Those box gutters shouldn't be there in the first place.
What a stupid roof design to start off with. Name and shame!
does WA have the lowest standard of builders in the country?
No, all states are good at not reading the regs - Pretty similar all round sadly
@WABuildingInspections I've talked to chippies from other states that have moved to Perth and they have said that the regulations to be a qualified builder are lower or don't exist in WA is this fact?
@@jonv570 to be a licensed builder the qualifications similar as elsewhere in Australia. But you don't need to be qualified to be a chippie in WA, but to do any kind of jobs like this ( over $20000 job) there has to be a registered builder and it is the builders responsibility to check compliance.
This job is flawed by the design, which is a major builder, and a lack of oversite by the builders supervisor.
@alanwood82 thanks for clearing that up for me
@@jonv570 a registered builder depending on class requires the formal qualification as well as 7 years on site supervising, must demonstrate to the commission they are fit and proper along with a list of other stuff, then become Building Practitioners, they at that point can’t build for commercial gain u til they are or building contractors- it’s not easy.
Who designed this shit roof anyhow
My first thought as well. Horrid design, just asking for trouble. Add poor workmanship on top of that…
That home will always have problems, no matter what you throw at it.
@@bigears4014 not a great design I’ll admit, but surely they the builder should say as much and either turn down the work, redesign m, or commit? Don’t half ass it on hopes and dreams.
An architect! In between getting their Tesla serviced and reading copies of Vintage Saab magazine and planning their next "study tour" (tax deductible holiday), this is what they do for five minutes.
