Tune in for a shocking update to our previous inspection of a NSW home construction. In our initial inspection, we highlighted severe non-compliant issues that were discovered during an intensive 6-hour investigation. Our findings were so alarming that they prompted the homeowners to involve NSW Fair Trading.
In this latest episode, we reveal the consequences of the builder's negligence. The certifier involved with this job has been suspended for six years! What's more, the house is already experiencing leaks, and the owner hasn't even moved in yet!
What You'll Discover:
👉NSW Fair Trading's response to our initial findings
👉The repercussions for the certifier involved in the project
👉The ongoing problems the homeowner is facing - leaks before move-in!
👉The importance of due diligence in choosing a builder and certifier
Join us for an eye-opening journey into the consequences of substandard construction.

I was warned about this certifier seven years ago when I first started working in architecture in Sutherland Shire. He had many nicknames but he was referred to as 'Drive-By-Paul' by my old boss. A client of mine, who is also a builder, calls him 'Tick 'n Flick'. Good to hear he's finally been punished properly.

@Polyphemus. 8 ай бұрын

@@superthevibe Sure is. I've been told he knows his stuff, he's just lazy. He probably turns up to inspections in a nice pair of shoes and neatly pressed trousers. Certainly not the clothes you'd wear to get up and down ladders and crawl around under floors. A lazy certifier allows everybody to take it easy, including designers and architects. The building industry can be very incestuous, designers like working with certain builders, builders like working with certain sub-contractors, etc. It allows for a level of familiarity and routine, but this can often lead to complacency and then downright laziness. This guy survived so long because there were plenty of designers and builders who liked working with him. He made their job easier.

While that may be true, being over run with work is no excuse for cutting corners and taking shortcuts with a "she'll be right " attitude The inspectors should be delaying inspections and forcing the government to employ more of them. Its not like work is going to drop off any time soon. Especially when the largest financial investment people will ever make is involved, we are talking close to a million if not more for most houses now days. The government also should step in and make these certifiers maintain their qualifications and have some sort of competency assurance program. I work for an agency in NSW with the government that has hundreds of thousands of people's lives in my hands every day and I have to pass competency testing every 2 years. these guys potentially ruin lives with shonky practices. That said the sh*t flows downhill to the builder who if they did their damn job properly the certifier would not have such a hard time and not try to cut corners.

My pop was a retired building inspector. He said all the the good tradesmen and TAFE lecturers have retired and things have got slack. Concrete is hardly every properly cured, brick mortar never batched, use of non-compacted dirt fill, etc. The comprehensive building diploma used to be 3 years - then one and a half - maybe even less by now.

Lookup Paul Gearin NCAT and you can see this case in all its glory. Fair Trading cancelled the license then the appeal to the AAT.

So as of late October the suspension was stayed, until the full hearing result. He can't take on new work. He can inspect buildings albeit with supervision.

"The builder's certifier has been suspended as well, for six years, I feel sorry for the guy" I don't

"Doing the inspection on the house", no pun intended 😂 great to see a gov authority being proactive and doing what they're meant to. 👍🏻

I feel so much better for buying a home built 25 years ago. Seems like this housing crisis is going to drive both build times and quality further down

Good work mate. Needs to be more of this type of thing to stop this type of dodgy stuff from happening. People need to be held accountable.

@dropbear6740 8 ай бұрын

Great work mate, however I don't understand how you can feel sorry for the certifier, if he / she had of done their work properly they wouldn't have been suspended. It is getting to the time where these clowns need to be named and shamed, Keep up the work mate.
