The truth that most builders won't say out loud.


🧠 Why This Page Exists

You don’t learn much from the jobs that go right.

You learn from the ones that nearly blew up — and the ones we got called in to fix after someone else bailed.

We’ve delivered over $11.2M in remedial scopes.

Façades. Balconies. Pools. Car parks. Waterproofing. Concrete cancer.

And here’s the uncomfortable truth:

Most projects don’t fail because of bad design.

They fail because the wrong builder got the job.

This is what we’ve learned. Use it. Copy it. Share it. Just don’t ignore it.


⚠️ 1. The Spec Isn’t The Risk — The Builder Is

The spec is usually fine.

It’s the builder that decides to freestyle.

And now the engineer’s reputation is on the line — not theirs.

What to do:

Only work with builders who treat the spec like law, not a suggestion.
