Mistakes happen, but some are hard to ignore…
Which is why those responsible for these jobs might be wise to deny doing them altogether.
Welcome to the latest edition of Build-it’s “Building Blunders,” where we showcase some of Australia’s most outrageous mistakes made by tradies and home renovators.
Throughout May, Build-it readers gave us an exclusive look at their job sites, highlighting some of the most subpar workmanship in the industry.
So, put on your PPE and get ready to laugh as we dive into last month’s worst from “top” Aussie tradies and DIY “experts”.
Building balls-ups
With the nation in the midst of a housing crisis, Aussie builders are under the pump to produce more homes in less time than ever before.
With an ambitious national target of 1.2 million new residential properties being constructed by the end of the decade, it’s no wonder builders are feeling the pressure.
Still, that’s no excuse for some of these building balls ups, especially some pre-existing piss-takes our readers found during May.
DIY disasters
The following DIY disasters will be enough to make less experienced home renovators think twice before trying to save on hiring a professional.
But when going with the cheapest quote still isn’t quite cheap enough, many homeowners enlist family, friends or even themselves to have a crack at their tradie troubles.
After all, it can’t be that hard, right? …
Rushed roofs
A quality roofing job is an essential piece to any home or new build.
But rushing its construction can lead to a catalogue of catastrophes further down the line.
So whether it’s from a fudged-up framework or sloppy sheeting, we feel these homeowners are likely to suffer faulty roofing problems in the future.
Tiling troubles
It may be one of the more repetitive trade jobs around, so surely that means it would be even harder to stuff up…
That’s clearly not the case for whichever tilers produced these job-site shockers.
