Quite a prescient decision starting your channel six months -- almost to the day -- before the collapse of the Champlain Towers S. condos. And Josh if you're weird (at 3:44), then may countless developers, building owners, engineering students, and like-minded weirdo engineering applicants flock to your doors and make your company a long-lived and valued asset in your community, state and everywhere you work. Would be great if you'd mention those professors who took their calling seriously and impressed upon you and many others that integrity is foundational to building great structures and people, like you. They must be proud of you. I'll enjoy watching your channel with my grandson!
@@BuildingIntegrity - It never ceases to amaze me every time I hear someone say the mantra “For the greater good” - or said another way “The end justifies the means.” I am guessing that you learned of this mantra through the education systems and working in your profession. I suspect that these mantras are used throughout the entire education systems worldwide for just about every profession. [I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) that has worked for large corporations for 25+ years.] So few people understand from whom/where these mantras originated: the Jesuits (Society of “Jesus”), the militia priesthood for the Roman Catholic “Church.” Thank you for starting this UA-cam channel to educate others with truth, integrity and honesty.🙏
Wouldn't it be great if he'd mention any professors at all he had in structural engineering. Because I am not convinced he knows anything about it. He probably knows how to build to code, but he doesn't know why certain things are allowed, or how to analyze a building that isn't brand new to see what's actually dangerous. He skips the engineering and goes straight to how he's trying to help people.
I am your 100 like! And I just subscribed. My father was an architect, back in Italy. He would have so appreciated your channel, had he been alive now. It is unbelievable the timeliness of you opening your channel just a few months ago, what an amazing public service and how eerie it is to hear you talk about potential buildings collapse etc... my goodness. THANK YOU!
Ex building inspector here. The inspection process is so deeply compromised with politics that the only way a building will be built to plan is by having the Engineer of record on the job doing inspections. I can't begin to count the number of times my boss tried to pressure me to change my fail to a pass.
Great video work on the Florida Condo Collapse, informative and educational. I, too, started a UA-cam channel to help educate project Owners on the Construction of their projects. My initial theme is to discuss building and structural failures that happened throughout history. I've done one on the Johnstown Flood and Dam Collapse, The Hyatt Regency Walkway collapse, The Hard Rock Hotel Collapse, and I also did a video on the Cocoa Beach high rise collapse that happened in the early eighties. I looked into the cause of the collapse and my recommendations on how to avoid these failures. The main theme is Quality Control (QC) during construction or lack thereof. Hopefully, your and my videos will help current and future Project Owners construct a safe building for the public.
There was a recent structural inspection which was pretty clean. An unaided collapse of the sort that happened was essentially impossible. Therefore it was aided.
I am loving your videos. I have been in construction management for 20 years. No integrity and and a serious lack of care in the industry. Thanks for taking the time to explain these concepts to the general public.
Please show some free-body diagrams of how the Surfside collapse happened, showing how the structure could fail that way (vertical freefall) unaided. (Any engineer knows what I just asked for and could use them to explain a physical hypothesis for this. We learned to do this as freshmen in college.) That would mean a lot, because it would explain what I think is physically impossible.
There is absolutley a diligence responsibility on the corporation to earn money for shareholders. That being said, that due diligence is best done, in the long run, by limiting liability and preserving relationships.
Very good question. Doesn't seem like it to me. He wants to help people and clean all the supposed problems in construction in Florida or whatever, but feelings don't substitute for engineering knowledge. Where's the engineering degree from, where did he pass EIT and PE?
@@davidquinn9676 I have no background in engineering, no college degree and have never even been to Florida, but I found that info almost instantly on the FL DBPR website. And I'm sure he has hours of free time every day he can use to engage conspiracy theorists who think it was blown up (OK, but *why* ?) or destroyed by a satellite-based laser (🤣).
Eight now, including mine. I am an engineer, although not licensed because I worked in high-tech. I'll change my down-arrow when I know his credentials and see they are relevant, because his analysis doesn't sound like structural engineering to me. He was asked a month ago for his professional license info, and it hasn't been provided.

Never believed in short cuts
It will bring your company down in the long run
Alot of builders don't take pride in wht they do

This stresses the utmost importance of hiring an engineer to survey property before you buy - like a condo.

Josh is extremely intelligent. Very impressed.

Are you a licensed structural engineer? If so, in what states?
No, they just play structural engineers on TV. They're really make strippers, lol. God.
Somebody didn't bother visiting their website, apparently.

No, they obviously are just pretending so that they can be a tool of the radical left and thwart the American people.
To the four "thumb-down" bots. Shame on you!
