Jesus Christ I’ve been in 3 different brand new builds in the last week and it’s fucking embarrassing that the buyers realtor let them buy these places.

Honestly, some of these Burnaby/Vancouver places I’ve been in are ducking terribleeeee, like some of the worst finishing/exterior envelope I’ve seen ever. Back when I was still building homes if I left one room in the state some of these entire homes are left in turn over, I’d be fired on the spot.

Fucking plumbing clean outs in main hallways with a black cap and baseboards just notched around them, door casings crooked and uneven with another door 4 inches away, HACK JOB tile and flooring. Holy fuck I can’t believe how bad it is. No sense or reasoning behind outlet or jack placement etc. Etc.

And frankly, these are all E.I builders, every single one of them.

If anyone is ever interested in having someone walk through your home with you for a deficiency walk through, I offer my services for free if I’m available. Because people should NOT be moving into brand new homes in this state. Fuck is it embarrassing.

One thing I’ll say lately is that Asian (seemingly Chinese?) builders have really stepped it up in terms of the quality of work I’ve been seeing. At least on the surface. Much more attention to detail than their E.I counter parts who have probably been doing it much longer.

I heard the crews typically order Buddyyyyyyyyy Burgers for lunch
