    This happened to an entire new subdivision not to far from where I live. They built houses on an old swamp and bam , a huge sink hole opened up & swallowed the houses. Some were already occupied , but luckily no one was home at the time.

      Who do you mean with a 'builder'? The construction workers dont have any say in how the house will be structurally build.
      That is the job of an architect. Construction workers just follow plans.
      Then usually some governing body is responsible for validating if the plans follow the proper guidelines.
      Then another body is responsible for making guidelines.
      So the responsible person is depending on where the fault is (the following of the plan, the making of the plan, the validating of the plan or the making of the guidelines).
      Usually it is a combination of many tiny errors/miscommunications/faults at the multiple levels.
      Saying dumb shit like 'builder responsible because building collapse' isn't worth listening to if you care about actually understanding the situation/preventing future situations/ holding the right people responsible.

With all the snow they get and snow melt causing land slides this is what you get..

Their house was plowed down, too much damage, and their homeowners insurance wouldn't pay for the damages because they never got a permit for the fireplace. So, they still had a mortgage to pay, no house, just the lot left and they ended up having to claim bankruptcy and moved to an apartment.

      Я живу в доме постройки 1960г. Всего было построено 7 домов: 6 двухэтажных и мой трехэтажный. Судя по датам постройки, в год строился 1 дом, первый в 1954. Не знаю как строили 6 домов, а как строили мой, мне рассказал отец. Он уже знал, что получит квартиру в этом доме и ходил смотреть стройку. На этом месте когда-то были плавни и грунтовые воды находятся очн близко к поверхности. Когда начали рыть яму под фундамен, она тут же заполнялась водой, поэтому заморачиваться не стали и вырыли по периметру не глубокую ямку и залили туда цемент с ракушечником, а на этом фундаменте стены возвели. Дому 64 года, а он стоит! Вот только после землетрясения в 2002 году трещина в стене образовалась но не большая, только ладонь сосед смог просунуть. Но ЖКХ справились с этой проблемой быстро и не дорого. Они запенили трещину пенобетоном и замазали штукатуркой. Вуаля! Ветер в квартиру соседа уже не залетает 22 года. Подвала в доме нет, так как фундамента тоже практически нет, но есть такая пародия на подвал для коммуникаций. Это яма в подъезде под лестничной клеткой, Где-то 1.5 м глубиной и 2х2 периметр. Там трубы водопроводные, разводка по дому. Яма только в одном подъезде, вот только она всё время наполняется водой, особенно после дождя. Но и эту проблему решили. Поставили насос, который откачивает эту воду. Хотела добиться переселения из аварийного жилья, приехала комиссия во главе с главным архитектором города. К приезду комиссии вырыли яму, чтоб они могли посмотреть фундамент. Но вот незадача, яму вырыли накануне, а к утру она была до краев наполнена водой. Комиссия приехала, а фундамента не видно. Второй раз яму рыли за час до приезда комиссии. Благо рыть много не пришлось, так как фундамента оказалось 20-30 см. Стоим мы у этой ямы с архитектором, смотрим на полуразрушенный фундамент из цемента и ракушечником, и он у меня спрашивает: а где фундамент? Так это и есть фундамент трехэтажного дома, построенного на воде😂 Заключение комиссии я перечитывала три раза, думала, что розыгрыш. В нем сказано, что у дома 68℅ износа и требуется капитальный ремонт фундамента, стен, балконов и крыши. Это был 2017 год. Крышу отремонтировали в 2022. До ремонта крыши вода текла по стенам снаружи и внутри соседней квартиры 3 года, а так как у нас общая стена, то у меня образовался грибок, который вывести невозможно. Соседей частично спасал натяжной потолок, после каждого дождя они сливали с него воду. После ремонта крыши вода по стенам не течёт, теперь она течёт внутри стен. При ремонте, выход вентиляционных шахт на крыше накрыли жестью, которую унесло первым же ветром вместе с кирпичами, к которым ее прибили. Теперь все осадки у нас заливаются в эти шахты, но радует, что из отдушин ничего не вытекает, видимо вся вода по стенам шахт уходит в землю. Вот только в подъезде на первом этаже стена очень раздулась и краска со штукатуркой отваливаются. Но дом стоит! Вопрос сколько ещё он простоит? А тут на видео совершенно новый дом и развалился! Видимо его действительно из пенопласта строили.

    Brings back memories when I was working on a house in the basement pouring footings for a wall and the wall came in ward in front of me you could hear rocks falling behind the wall I went outside in the front of house and you could hear the sounds that something was not right little cracks in the structure was spreading apart so I waited for a minute and talked with the inspector of the job site I told him that the problem was that they didn’t secure the walls and foundation well enough and I told him it was going to crumble and cave in and he stood next to me and Watched the whole house collapsed and crumble in to a pile

      Any land can be built on with appropriate soil preparation and foundations.
      Obviously, they dont do that kind of work for theses new cardboard huts.
      But it doesnt cancel the fact that, with sufficient modifications and preparation done to the ground, a stable base can be made to support a home. How do you think we can build concrete supports for massive bridges crossing huge rivers otherwise?
      This is just the result of price cutting by not laying down the appropriate foundation and not doing the excavation work to stabilize the soil.
      It is not a matter of “an area that shouldn’t be supposed to be developed”, but a matter of developing an area while not spending the money required to modify the land appropriately.
      Pillars of many bridges have been standing strong, many bridges that are many decades old, and in some case, centuries. The bottom of such rivers is nothing but stable. Its just mud. The pillars stand because they were built on sufficient foundations with enough landwork around them.
      Theses homes are just cardboard on a slice of thin concrete “foundation”

      Passed** It's not a "certified inspection" either. It's the fault of the engineer whom surveyed the land, did the soil reports and was supposed to engineer the proper foundation for those reports or deem the land unbuildable to begin with. If the land WAS buildable, then the foundation or the water management is wrong which again goes back to the engineer. If the engineer didn't do their job, then the architect couldn't have done their job properly. If the engineer did do their job, then the architect didn't do THEIR job. An inspector ONLY inspects that the building is built according to the architectural drawings which includes the city codes and engineers recommendations and findings. This is coming from a builder, me, who's been in the field for over 15 years. I've been doing construction since I was 19 years old.

    I am not going to pick at the state but in Utah/Kansas they teach how to divide fractions in high school… I am happy the house was empty and it was safe but seriously this is a macro-problem, resulting from their poor education. There is a reason why large cities do not work with engineers with degrees from states like Utah.

    Imagine telling your employer that you can't come in today because your house fell.
    On a more serious side im glad the city/county deemed unfit to reside in and ordered them move out before this happened.

      I highly doubt this has anything to do with, new generation of builders. I’m sure the contractor followed code and had permits. Mother nature is unpredictable.
      The only time someone would spend the extra money to get the soil analyzed to make sure something like this wouldn’t happen is if the home owner themselves was paying for it. A contractor is always going to follow code and pull permit because he is trying to make a money. This comment of yours is ridiculous. Clearly you were not in the business.

      "God has something better for you" you say to the family that lost their only home that they worked their entire lives towards, and they now live on the street with no job and nothing, no way to get anything. You religious nuts are the worst. If God has something better for us, how about you uae your tithe money to actually help someone you see struggling in the world instead of letting the pastor pocket all those benjamins so he can deck out his man cave at home
