Finances & Real Estate Construct a house

I'm in theend of building a house right now. My project manager (Asian) has hired Asian, White, and East Indian subs. By far the East indian subs have been least reliable. It is actually well know in the business - hire east indians for work you can't see (e.g., framing) but don't hire them for important things like plumbing/electrician, cabinets, etc.

East indian builder originally quoted me $320000 to build a custom home in vancouver. I'm spending around $500000 in total for the new build. I'm wondering what would have happened if I had gone with the east indian builder. probably be pulling my hair out right now.

Not sure why this became such a racist rant on East Indian builders. Bad workers in all trades

Never trust an East Indian builder. I have been working in the trades for 8 years and they all compete on price. Quality is of no concern to them. They do mind boggling things. They have no ethics. No morals. They are the worst builders They are fast and only do garbage work. Not just bad work but work that is worse that a school kid would do. They do not care about the product or their customer. If they can get away with ANYTHING to save a buck, they WILL. I don't know why but ethics were never engrained into them. They will get an insulation inspection approval then go and remove half the insulation and cover it over. They will be told to reinforce the concrete floors with rebar and then do one room send a picture to the inspector get approval to cover... then not only will they not put rebar in the rest of the house but they will remove the rebar in the room they photographed and return it to Rona for a refund. They are doing third world work in our country and unsuspecting first time home buyers are being duped into buying their garbage. Please don't pay these guys a dime. Their mentality is so far different from a Canadian builders mentality. They are ruining our industry. This is not meant to be racist. This is my direct observation of 100's of experiences in the industry from Vancouver to Pemberton. Not one experience with an East Indian contractor has ever been good in any sort of way. They are nice people but be warned. I could go on and on and on.

That right there might be the most racist thing that I have ever read. Wouldn’t be surprised if the author supports Trump and belongs to the KKK.
