Not quite as bad as Redrow, who built a new estate not far from where I used to live which hit the press in a big way. 2 years after they had finished the place, they found over 60% of the houses had a small problem... all the cement between the bricks had washed away!

And the other big difference between the UK giants and the kiwi builders... Roads!! What is it with those new estates in the UK, that you have to wait years for the last lick of paint on the very last house to be applied before they lay the roads? The roads are done FIRST here! (usually!)

Dont take any of it personally... i'm only generalising! I'm sure they built good homes for many thousands of people elsewhere :icon_biggrin:
