Zehra has a fantastic Youtube channel that is doing a great job showing Australians, and the world, just how broken our Construction Industry is.
Like many symptoms of Australia’s growing inequity, there’s a bifurcated system where those who can afford it, pay a lot more and get a much better standard of construction, and there are those who unfortunately think the old system that ensured quality construction is still in place.
@aj The crazy thing is, we once had very good Building Standards many of which were adopted by other countries in Asia and the Middle East.
In the late 80s and through the 90s, Construction Certification was removed from Local Government Authorities and privatized by State Governments, the benchmark of Construction Standards, State Government Public Works Departments were dismantled, and the Australian Standards organization, which set the construction rules was also privatised.
Pure folly.
