@ken989808: 🏗️ What causes more building failures... Poor workmanship or poor design? This debate has divided engineers, contractors, artisans, and homeowners for years. Some people blame the engineer. Others blame the workers on site. But here's the truth: A perfect design can fail because of poor workmanship. Wrong concrete mix. Poor compaction. Missing reinforcement. Poor curing. Bad supervision. And suddenly, a good design becomes a dangerous building. But the opposite is also true. The best workmanship in the world cannot save a bad design. If the calculations are wrong... If the reinforcement details are inadequate... If the loads were underestimated... Failure may already be designed into the building before construction even begins. Good buildings need both: ✅ Good design. ✅ Good workmanship. Because structural safety is a partnership between the drawing board and the construction site. One without the other is a risk. 💬 So let's discuss: In your experience, what causes more building failures? Poor workmanship or poor design? Tell us your opinion in the comments.
