Me too, but in this industry, they will just get a shell company owned by another shell company that will mysteriously go bankrupt when the first lawsuit hits.
CBC Hamilton spoke to two other homeowners who purchased houses by Marina Homes in the same subdivision. They said they've experienced serious issues with how their homes were constructed, but are reluctant to speak out and worried it will jeopardize their property values.
"Uhhh, no comment. We're hoping we can scam someone else into buying this house like we were scammed into buying it."
I feel for them. Not many people can eat $500k and go buy another house. They would have to sue and win but then i think it's still unlikely they break even.
Fuck everyone involved, the dickheads involved should be held personally responsible for this. Fine the project manager, inspector, foreman, even the tradesmen who actually did the work.
But they were just doing what they were told
Bullshit, when your foreman tells you to build a subpar house, a house that you know someone is going to have to live in, you tell him to put it in writing. Your foreman would literally sell you by the pound if the opportunity ever came up. If enough guys wave down inspectors and get this shit caught before the house is sold it will no longer be profitable to build shitty houses.
Bias: I am an electrician, I worked for 7 years in commercial/industrial construction and 12 years in industrial maintenance/service. If I do sub standard work people can get hurt or killed. Sometimes I have to remind the bean-counters that a dead employee is a lot more expensive than the vital part I need to make a machine safe.
Ontario not only fails in it's numbers for homes built but also it's quality as well. We're so screwed.
