Like Snot, my background is also in commercial construction. On a project like this, ever piece and process involved is analyzed, specified and inspected. To think a company would try to save a dollar or two by substituting inferior materials is nearly impossbile. (Unless you have an inspector or two willing to look the other way). A company becomes the low bidder on projects like this by either being able to obtain required materials cheaper, has a work force willing to do the labor part cheaper, or is willing to make less profit on the project.

Changing materials on a whim is no simple task. One you have provided your submittals any deviation from them must be approved by a list of architects, engineers, and building owners. I have seen projects held up due to deviation requests.

In my opinion, these incidents are coincidenes.

There is no way an architect specifies "cheap materials" on a project like this. Anyone suggesting that has never worked with an architect, they tend to overbuild everything they touch. Besides, they have a professional and person liability on any project they approve.

fify. on the surface yes. however the way corruption runs in ohio, especially the northeast where the owner is from i wouldnt be surprised if the company is run by someone's friend or relative and is taking money off the top using shoddy material.

My uncle was building a garage on his land that collapsed twice including the second time injuring the contractor seriously. My uncle ended up getting sued because his workers from another business on the sme lnd were sneaking in and stealing materials at night. So who know what the cause could be

Are those problems coming from Union workers or non union workers
