Smell in the Shower

We are getting some odor in the stalled shower in our new condo. The building is less than a year old and is built and was designed with "green" and "sustainability" standards. The builder cannot find (or does not admit) what the problem is.
Any suggestions how to find the source of the problem? Many thanks.

Most bad oders in bathroom drains come from rotting hair mixed with grease from the soap. Try this. Tonight before you go to bed pour 1/2 gallon of bleach down the shower drain and let it set overnight. Next morning flush it down with a few large pans of boiling water. The bleach will start to dissolve and soften the hair and make it slippery and the boiling water will melt the grease and flush the mess out into the main. Now see if that smelly drain doesn't smell sweeter? Hope this helps . Tom
