that's what happens when you just get any builder to build your house. Builders are like tuners, you need one you can trust.

 

 

The inspector said he's never seen a single house that was done well, by any level of builder.  I found that surprising but I don't know his true "sample size" (30 years on the job though) and common demographic - inspecting mostly entry to mid level builders I would imagine you'd always find things wrong, since it would only take one tradie out of the whole parade to cause a stuff up.  The supervisor is supposed to pick that up of course!

My folks built with a higher end niche type builder, as they specialised in small block and complex builds. They were still sh*thouse, so many things not up to scratch or just plain wrong.

This makes me think the inspection might have a bit of holier than thou going and probably couldn't work as a builder (or in whatever trade).

 

Plenty of "can't do so will get a job critiquing others work" type roles out there.  But either way at least he's spotted the issues.

hahah I can just tell you've dealt with those sorts of people ^

 

Steve the inspector is right  - there's plenty of very high quality homes out there but literally the builder only needs one tradesperson to let them down and their reputation suffers.

At the bank to collect final payment cheque then handover meeting in 30 minutes
