Privatised building inspections are a fucking disgrace. I didn't even realise there were no licencing requirements. I thought they had to be engineers at the very least.

Not sure how new the house she was looking at is, but the quality of construction in Australia is so terrible.

Old mate here cosplays as a SWAT member, but the inspections he does and the stuff he finds is still eye opening as heck:

Its crazy that people sell themselves as experts in a particular area and yet they don't even know the standards they should be following. More importantly is when the work is super substandard yet gets handed over and an invoice presented despite it being obviously poor quality work. Not just missing a minor clause in the standard, but being categorically a bad job by any metric.
