This is a 100% on the framer. I wouldn't never frame a second floor without sheeting the exterior walls first, looking at this you can see there is not enough plywood bracing the house
Yeah, it's not on the builder.
Are you kidding, sheet rock is not strong enough to hold up and entire house
@@ss_wholesheating is not sheetrock its like osb wood bro first and secondly the original comment spelled it wrong but got the general idea right 😂
they are not sheathing walls as they build them. that is why it collapsed. our framers build and sheath the walls on the ground and THEN stand them up and secure them together.
I worked for ATT installing phone and internet services about 9 years ago in Ft Worth area. I would go up in attics sometimes. I noticed older houses seemed to have more bracing and just a lot more wood (2x4s) or whatever the size than new homes i would go in. I chalked it up to shabby construction.
Im also 52 years old now and i remember when being a carpenter was actually taught through training. Now it just seems like anybody who can measure a board gets hired to build a house.
thats right when i was in the union we had training every 6 months in the apprenticeship for a week at a time
the men died on the job the least the builder could do is pay there funeral expense
Definitely some slam n jam construction goin' on there. Cheap, fast crap.....and safety be damned.
In China, they are referred to as Tofu Dreg projects. It's a term coined in China in 1998 when bidding wars to get the construction cost as low as possible and the use of corruption to circumvent building codes. They are known to collapse even during construction. That includes apartments, offices, suburban houses, and infrastructure.
I am so sorry for your loss! Bless the families of this tragedy..
Justice for them now Jesus
I noticed a few OSHA violations 😞
They still can sue . For both czuse that happen on the work site. Abd the weather part isn't confirmed yet .. also
dangg never thought something like that would happen.
Act of god but she is right a superintendent or project manager should have deemed it hazardous for them to work if conditions were not safe so it can ultimately fall back on the builder
No one should buy home from Lennar in that community or just Lennar.
Rip😢 who would buy that house someone die 😢so sad most new house in Houston no good no more it’s scared to see it,
Cheap garage subdivision construction, not surprised.
Build a house with concrete block reinforced with rebar and concrete, like they do mostly in Florida. Who wants a wooden house?
I frame houses and I square and sheet the walls before standing, as long as the foundations level, the walls will be plumb. House can catch a lot of wind creating lateral forces, leading to this.
Lady you have a case...the weather wasnt tbe part of it....the prub is that tha was the only house that came down.....get a lawyer...and you ll see
They are supose to plywood the exterior walls when theyre starting a second floor or framing the roof but they dont and this is what happens
Why new houses are made cheap??
Why builder does not want to pay? He was working.
Workers are merely resources and not humans to employers, businesses and companies.
Workers are contractors or working for a contractor. Builder not responsible for their safety!
If you hire a guy to mow your lawn and he cuts his foot off because of his own negligence! Would you agree that YOU are responsible for his medical bills or funeral? Same thing here!
Don't talk to the builder, talk to the subcontractor he works for.
😢🙏
Companies can’t even pay the respects to those who were working for them. That’s the least they can do, and file a billion dollar lawsuit and settle for a cool 50 million make sure the lawyers don’t get more than 10 million.
Definitely not the weather, Houses don't just fall apart because of typical weather like a little rain or wind, all the other houses were standing just fine, this is the only house that collapsed and it's because of poor framing.
Weather? Ok, it’s important wether or not you use gusseting.
They were not sheathing as they went up with it. The weight overtook the nails that held the braces. The problem is ,this style is the way this crew knows how to do it. Nothing will change because that takes time. Gotta get it done, because child support is due, and thats how it is. Your home short cutted by guys who owe.
This way of building houses is a US thing ?
In the bahamas this is a no, no .
You have to strengthen the lower level before you go up. You do that by bracing off and sheeting it with plywood
Work comp!!
LOL, those illegals don't pay taxes and don't carry insurance, much less be able to apply for workmen's comp!
I think that this might have been prevented if they put sheathing on the walls as they erected them.
We work on the front end of a lot of Houston area master planned communities. I can't tell you with all certainty, safety is the last thing any of the home builders or developers are worried about. Money is their only concern.
That OSB sure is a lot heavier than the thick 2x8 boards used back in the 1970s. But OSB is stronger and cheaper we have to use it do you? Gravity,weight,crash newtons law. OSB out in the rain for 2 weeks Nails ripping through sawdust boards held together with glue oh what rain for 2 weeks can do to a building left out exposed to moisture. Cheap awful flimsy materials the 21st century
💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sue company for sure
He was so big he brought down the house!
They should sue
