I don't think 95% of the population would notice the flooring, looks good to me.

As he said though, it’s one thing to kind of live with it and not notice. The issue is this quality of work shouldn’t be in this price of home, but here we are

I could probably ignore most of it, but not those seams touching. That's right in front of your face when you're doing it so there's no real excuse to have it.

so there's a new build close to my house. Designed by Su Casa (expensive ass, award winning designers) and built by a construction company... WHO's WHITE.

WTF...

He has scaffolding up to the roof. Ive never seen such safety considerations and the all the trades are a bunch of white guys.

I think this dude is building to live in, so ill never get to tour it, but it looks FANTASTIC.
I just dont want to know what he paid per sqft to get these guys instead of buddy guy, or ching chong ling long's.

Scaffolding, temporary fencing, a CLEAN job site, working within permitted hours

How could we ever do such a thing?!?! Lol

can you show me where the seams are touching? its driving me mad.
i can see where the seams are sort of laddered, but im trying to understand which part you're looking at.

The audacity... DansGame

Home Depot and Rona is top tier compared to Home Idol. Some of the stuff they sell there isn't even CSA approved.

I wish there was a way to look up who the contractors / builders were to have an idea on what to expect for build quality. Kind of like with condos except with SFHs as well.

Are they wearing PPE and filling out their FLHA's though :troll:

My house was built by an Italian guy but his contractors were a mix of white guys, buddy guys, and Ching Chongs. The only problems we've had were all by the work done by the buddy guys (plumbing/heating and landscaping). It kinda sucks that the stereotypes holds so well.

i dont think ive seen a buddy guy or a ching chong ling long touch that place yet. It truly does look like a great build. He had Milani do the plumbing... MILANI !!!

So my old company, a construction management firm used to build for a relatively big developer who’s built hundreds, if not thousands of homes in Surrey, Langley etc. mostly townhomes. We were one of their earliest general contractors.

One site I was kind of responsible for we were under a huge crunch to get this stupid show home completed. Obviously in a show home they always push like crazy to have it look the nicest, have zero issues etc.

Well.. when you have champagne expectations with a malt liquor budget, things happen. In these townhomes that gave 6-8 units in one block there is so much overlapping framing from unit to unit the floors -always- have to be leveled/sanded because the joists bow just due to the design.

So I had been busting my ass working weekends etc. to try and get this stupid show home ready. To me it looked pretty good (and in hindsight comparatively to other places I looked at after it was fantastic) but the developer used shit flooring like 1/4” floating laminate with a bunch of coke heads installing it. They then dragged like 300lb fancy dining tables, heavy ass sectionals etc. so now all this furniture is pinching points on the floating floor.

The day rolls around where we are doing the walk through with my boss, the owner of the company, and the two guys who are the developers. We get to the main/middle floor where all this shot is pinching the floor and one of the guys feels with his feet thay the floor is bowing and he can push it down with his foot.

The guy loses his mind and starts yelling at me and my boss somthing along the lines of “wtf is this shit?!?!!! We’re building like fucking Hindus!!!”

Well.. needless to say we cut ties with that developer shortly after lol. Not so much due to the blatant racism, but moreso my boss/owner of the company would not put up with us being put down like that lol. Fucking clowns

In the first pic, it looks like the seams are very close to each other.

My dad told me to go to home idol when I was doing renos

I walked in, and I walked out. It's all garbage leftover china product. And I'm not talking good china product, more like 250k condo remodel quality stuff

Ahhh China shit.

You win some. You lose some. Dim sum.

Milani? Knew someone who worked for milani and quit, quality can be really hit or miss (usually miss) but they would charge poor home owners exorbitant prices. This GC is making bank.

I think su Casa designed or built (or both) a house in my hood, lots of buddy guys.

Yeah Milani is just a big name, doesn't mean quality. Just like how the GOT JUNK guys don't give you the best prices or service, just good marketing and exposure.

That's just so fucked up...

No crew consisting of 'Grewals, Thinds & Singhs' would ever consider themselves Hindu.

yeah you stupid fucks. get your racism right!

For you landlord folks, how do you enforce tenant guests that stay overnight? How is this approached on the tenancy agreement? I read online landlord cannot refuse to not allow tenant guests to stay overnight.

Nothing you can do about that and TBH, if that bothers a landlord then they should not be a landlord.

You could have an addendum about tying rent to # of occupants but the tenant could have someone staying for weeks/months on a "temporary" basis and the RTB will side with the tenant if you cannot prove that this person has officially & permanently moved in.

Don't soil a good relationship (assumption) with a tenant over something like a guest, especially if they are just staying overnight.

Yeah overnight occasionally is fine, cant expect their SO or drunk buddy to not stay over. 2 straight weeks, maybe a friend on vacation. 1+ month, that's a new tenant

ya Milani doesn't mean shit. just some guy that can't/doesn't want to work new construction so they work on the service and small jobs side of things


a good GC should have their company signage on the outside of the fencing/project
