A programme on TV a few nights ago made me realise how a builder can get a bad reputation for doing some poor final fix jobs. The whole house can be damned because of poor fittings.
It made me wonder if they use the right people / skills to do the final fix (and buying) of items like shower screens and kitchen appliances.
Regarding the actual shell - it ain't rocket science - yet some manage to mess it up. I had to have some outer wall rebuilt as they had put scaffold poles into it before the mortar was set. This had caused bowing.
Factories seem to go up with less problems than houses. Is this because they are designed with the build process in mind and have better project planning?
There seems to be a reliance on inspection rather than building in quality. Inspection is like a wicket keeper.
I found this site and hope it may help people having problems or about to buy a new house.
I thought my house was going to be good quality because it had nice brass door handles!
