Been watching these, I think someone here must have linked him? But it's scary to see the absolute incompetence, lack of ethics and general greediness of builders.

Building has standards for a reason and they rely on the fact that most people aren't gonna notice untightened bolts behind the plasterboard, incorrect gutter locations, or uncovered gaps between surfaces on the roof. You end up paying through the nose for guaranteed mould exposure and rotting carpets.
