Page vii Author Comment An alarming number of new buildings fail, and often in dramatic fashion. If you are in the business of designing, constructing, or operating schools, laboratories, hotels, courthouses, or other types of municipal buildings, your buildings are at high risk for failure. If your buildings are in a hot, humid climate, they are even more at risk. The debate on why some buildings fail and others don't, who is responsible for these failures, and how to fix them rages on. But not where it shouldinstead of being aired in architecture schools and at engineering society meetings, this debate goes on in courtrooms and mediation hearings, where expert witnesses and lawyers charge hundreds of dollars an hour. It rages on, not among people who should prevent building failures, but among those who are rewarded by those same failures. Why Such Debate? The building industry seems baffled about the prevalence of building failures. Many wonder: Why isn't the rate of building failures declining?
