🚨UPDATE: Building Notice Issued By The Building Surveyor: SHOW CAUSE PROCESS: Under section 108 of the Building Act 1993, you are required to show cause within 30 days of the date of service of this notice – why you should not be required to carry out the building work identified in this notice in relation to the building: 1. Justify non-compliant framework to be in accordance with the Australian Standards and Building Code of Australia: and, 1.1 Carry out all works necessary to bring the building into compliance with the Act, Australian Standards, Building Regulations, and current building permit. —— Join us on a dramatic return to a Preston home that's become the epicenter of a construction controversy. Initially tasked with verifying the lockup stage for a homeowner who had doubts about the progress and compliance with national construction codes, our inspection unveiled a myriad of issues. The home, far from reaching the lockup stage, was plagued with non-compliant roofing, framing that contradicted the engineering drawings, and Australian standards ignored at every turn. Alarmingly, these serious lapses were somehow missed by the RBS (Registered Building Surveyor) who had erroneously signed off on the work. The plot thickened upon our visit when the building supervisor, apparently unnerved by our presence and findings, decided to escalate the situation by calling the police on us. This unexpected turn of events did not deter our mission; it only underscored the dire need for transparency and accountability in the building process. 🚓 When Inspectors Meet Enforcement: Witness firsthand the tense moments when building standards enforcement and law enforcement collided. This encounter highlights the challenges inspectors face in shedding light on subpar construction practices. 🔍 Expert Insight on Site: Undaunted, we continued our mission with the support of Russell Kirkwood, a Forensic Plumbing Assessor from Metropolis Solutions Pty Ltd. His expertise provided invaluable insights into the egregious roofing work and more, underscoring the severity of the home's issues. 🏠 A Deep Dive into Construction Mismanagement: This video is more than a reinspection; it's a revealing journey through a home riddled with defects, from the ground up. Our comprehensive review covers framing, roofing, lockup, and beyond, revealing the true extent of the builder's negligence. 🛠️ A Call for Industry Change: Armed with expert knowledge and a commitment to consumer advocacy, we confront the realities of a system that allows such failures to occur.

In today's eye-opening episode, we dive deep into a story that hits close to home, both literally and figuratively. A homeowner embarks on a journey to build their dream home with a budget exceeding $2.1 million, entrusting the project to a family friend turned project manager. What was supposed to be a partnership built on trust quickly spirals into a cautionary tale of manipulation, greed, and sabotage. The TikTok Inspector Conflict: When the project manager realises the homeowner enlisted the help of a renowned TikTok inspector for quality assurance, tensions flare. The inspector, known for his thorough and unbiased reviews, faces harassment on social media, a testament to the project manager's desperation to conceal the shoddy workmanship under his supervision. A Cascade of Non-Compliance: Our comprehensive inspection uncovers a litany of issues. From the ceiling's frame installation that blatantly disregards the stamped truss layout to the evidently compromised structural integrity, the depth of negligence is alarming. The waterproofing and Hebel cladding installations are far from compliant, and the framing itself violates basic standards. The Financial Toll: With the project manager pocketing over $250,000 and the concrete work alone costing around $200,000, the financial strain on the homeowner is immense. The situation worsens when, upon further evaluation by a qualified engineer, it's determined that the concrete work is so subpar it necessitates complete replacement. A Trust Betrayed: This tale is not just about financial loss but a profound breach of trust between the homeowner, now an unwitting owner-builder, and a project manager who was considered a family friend. A Call to Action: This episode isn't merely a recount of events but a stern warning to homeowners about the pitfalls of unchecked trust, especially in construction projects of such magnitude. It's a reminder of the importance of due diligence, independent inspections, and the right to seek transparency and accountability at every construction phase.
