Truth Uncovered: Revisiting a Lockup Stage Inspection | Site Inspections

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 เม.ย. 2023
- Welcome back to Site Inspections, your reliable source for professional building inspection content. Today's episode takes us back to a home we previously inspected during its waterproofing stage, but this time we're visiting at the 'lockup' stage - a crucial phase in the construction process when the property's external wall cladding and roofing are in place, securing the building from unauthorized access and weather.
Our primary objective during this visit is to verify whether the builder has adequately addressed the previously noted waterproofing issues. We delve deep into a claim made by the building supervisor regarding a concrete slab allegedly installed to support a brick wall. In pursuit of the truth, we interview the homeowner, unearthing their take on this supposed installation.
Join us in this exciting episode as we shed light on the importance of thorough inspections during key construction stages. Stay tuned as we unravel the reality of the construction process and the critical role inspections play in assuring quality and adherence to standards.

This right here is my conspiracy to why some builders are going "bust". They're fully aware of the corners being cut over the last few years and want out of the warranties...
Exactly. All these builders taking shortcuts is catching up with them. So not really surprised by builders going under.
Wonder if all these builders are of South East Asian origin ? Do they know our regulations ? Are they competent in applying them ? Do their subbies understand their responsibilities ? Maybe this is why you don't accept their very cheap quotes. After all, you get what you pay for !
@@allenrj1 There have been plenty of Aussie builders going bust and Aussie builders doing extremely dodgy shit. A lot of them large companies.
You may be onto something Chris. Just disgraceful!
@@allenrj1 you mean Chinese 😂
So shocking. How do you know who to trust? Need more people like you.
Get quotes by reputable Building contractors who only use Registered (in Australia) builders and sub contractors. As mentioned, you get what you pay for !
@@allenrj1 unfortunately this is not the case in my experience, and I have lots of it, having dealt with about 15 "reputable" builders/companies/contractors 90% of which were registered and "master builders" I can tell you most of them were also not trust worthy.
You can buy the regulations and standards books. If you would like I can give you a list of a bunch I just need to get them out of the office….. I studied to be a builder now I just make peoples renovating dreams amazing and I explain to them throughout all aspects so they understand the concepts of design and engineering. If you love what you do it’s nothing but good times 😂 this inspector is awesome 😎 hire him and spread the word
God bless you man!
Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re great at it.
Keep doing your best and expose the rest 😂
lucky it doesnt cost much for houses in australia , otherwise this sort of thing would be outrageous
No one got your dig at home prices. 👍 from me.

Unbelievable!! I want to see the look on these people's face when you call them out on rubbish work
Doing gods work. The brickwork has literally no support. Absolute schmozzle.
Hahahahahahah i like your little voice buzzer 👍👍👍👍👍 in all seriousness these videos are very educational keep up the good work much ❤
You can purchase it from our store 🤠

It's like these 'builders' learned how to build by watching The Block on telly.
I don't even work in Australia and I can't stop watching these video's.
Sometimes bricklayers hide that the concrete is wrong so they are not delayed without pay while the rectification happens. And it happens more than it should but supervisors are given 50 jobs at once so site time is minimal - not an excuse but an explanation.
I've not seen a compliant waterstop yet!
I don’t understand with all pictures in AS 3740 how waterproofers can’t get it compliant
Yet another great expose
Crappy waterproofers, crappy tilers, crappy painters, crappy bickies, crappy Site Supervisors.
That is unbelievable
Probably get food poisoning from that builders kebab shop
Being binge watching your channel since I found it lol
Please tell us this client has obtained a lawyer. He needs to get his money back.
Hopefully not a South East Asian Lawyer
How often does this happen with the larger project builders?
It's a brothel out there.
They all try something, you need to be on their arse from sun up till sun down.
A lot. I have seen a lot on his channel all from Metricon.
@@BIGIFANDYELLOWCARD metricunt, metriscam....they are surely the bottom of the barrel.
Bro are you wearing a tactical vest?
You show those water membranes near the doors a lot. Can you show us an example where it's done correctly?
Do a search. AS 3740 It's all online
The builder must loose their license and stop working in the industry or the State Government is negligent also in their duty
That’s like a 100 mm overhang , FFS That builder would not be getting another cent until your sir are completely happy with every non compliant issue, also the builder should be made to pay your bill as your going to need to supervise everything , your a good man . I feel so sorry for the owner, keep us informed please, I was a ceramic tiler/ waterproofing for over 30 years, so glad to be out of the game, I took pride in th3 work I did, unfortunately today not everyone takes pride in there work, for some money before pride,
Don’t architraves get installed AFTER tiling?
Back in the day, yeah. But everyone is in a rush to get in and out. Fix out "carpenter" doesn't want to do multiple trips because they have no drive to do a good job and they are probably one of the most underpaid "trades" on the site.
Was the timber frame also overhanging the slab?
Never buying a new home
Part of the brick wall floating in the air . Great. What kind of supervisor thought it's ok to put some pine timber under and everything its going to be fine??? Scammers do that. Also, why bricklayer did the job? He didn't see that there is no slab for his bricks?
Those jambs and arcs wouldn’t have lasted two years
Irony of the video, is the Mr Whipple ad for icecream.
Builder should move to icecream sales, quality is optional...
Melted icecream! Kebabs tequire too much thinking & doing!.
Pull the wall down and start again
Ffs. What a MESS
How is this level of incompetence so widespread. Like it's not like the client is getting a different paint shade and complaining, these issues will at the minimum result in tens of thousands of dollars worth of problems down the track, let alone the risk of a wall coming down on someone.
Clearly these builders have no shame, no pride, no ethics. Like dodgy trades are one thing but the builder/site supervisor signed off on this crap, they shouldn't be building lego let alone peoples homes
Use a private Registered Building Surveyor to do all required (and more) inspections at the appropriate times and stages. Let's help get rid of these Mumbai ?qualified contractors NOW !!
Sad thing is you have to fight these muppets to get it fixed.
Perhaps the footings should have been inspected properly first - guess the least amount of concrete used is more money in the concretors pocket and let the sizes , thickness and depth be damned !
Typical Henley lol
Any updates on this one Milli?
Where's the vapour barrier ?
Your interest in your business and the success you have provided is what makes this noise
I ask God to give you unending bliss and uninterrupted coolness of the eye, and to increase you abundantly in knowledge and body, and to bestow upon you from His kingdom, and God is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing.
yes I agree the building supervisor need to go and work at the kebab shop lol 😂
Shouldn't suggest a kebab shop, he'll be shortcutting people's food then sh#t will hit the fan😂
Why can't the brickies just lay bricks flush with the edge of the slab?
The comment “ this supervisor should get a job in a kebab shop” is insulting to kebab shop workers.
Being that a house is constructed on soft ground from a thousand pieces of wood, cement, and other composites you take what you get in the end and be happy......most houses are built to sell and the first one to lay the money down gets the deal......first in best dressed wins.
Tradie care factor = 0
So what happens to the builder/inspector now?
Nothing, they go on to the next job.
how in the hell does that shit get so far
Didn’t even put a h4 timber to be half nice at least lol😂
lets be honest new builds are shit , no one cares , the building companies screw the tradies to the lowest price they can, therefore the tradie then doesnt give a shit , the builder just wants profit and the home owner pays the price
Noncompliant with gravity. But the supervisor an apple
Wonder if this kind of corner-cutting and shoddy work has been ingrained in Australian construction industry for a long time, or is a result of laziness and trades having been spoilt by the good times over the last 10 or so years...? This country would never have been built by this kind of careless mentality...
Wish you could let us know who these building companies are. This is the problem when the project is managed on an ipad or the like and supervisors are given 20 or more sites to manage.
It's hard enough to manage 10 or less unique projects and deal with the constant issues that every different build brings with it. Doesn't matter if they're pumping out 200 of the exact same design each year. Different things go wrong at any time and a supervisor needs the time to spend working with the tradesmen on site to deliver a solution.
I hate the volume home industry. It's an absolute disgrace brought upon by builder greed and excessive immigration.
Defamation be damned!
A lot so far in his channel have been Metricon
I suggest the supervisor needs to go to jail, a kabab shop is too good for him, and why the overhanging brick? can't the concreter get slab size correct, what are they using to measure the slab area? a piece of string tied between two sticks.
WTF
Well simply pointing out what we regularly hear about on current affair and news. House collapses no apparent reason, appartments building cracking to point where occupants have to leave due to fear collapse. Props holding up concrete floors to mitigate movement. Building industry has become free for all and managed by brown paper bag cash to get OC, then apply Tail Light Warranty. Shameful.
Cancel the licence
Is this a black persons house ? Why does the smoke alarms keep beeping
Go work at a kabab shop 😂😂😂😂😂
Is the builder Metricon
