We knew he didnāt build it per code but didnāt make a big stink about it. Building is only 2 years old...
He tried to make beams out of 25ft long receiver channel and didnāt weld them together. Just ran a few screws in them. They buckled and down she came. Just glad our curing oven held it up or weād be having some funerals. Sounded like a bomb when it collapsed on us.

Some questions need to be answered. You stated you were aware that it wasnāt built to code yet someone signed off on it.Was the building bid/sold with an understanding that it was engineered? Pretty easy to see that itās not built with a stamp on the print.
Not a structural engineer but I know enough to know that a receiver channel is not a structural WF beam made to hold that much weight with a span like that. Same can be said with the little square tubing columns.
I... on an online public forum. Would erase "We knew he didn't build to code......"
Yup. Lol
I would say if I were an insurance company I wouldnāt pay a claim on that, but it probably shouldāve never been approved for coverage in the first place. I guess the average agent doesnāt know what theyāre looking at though.
Man anyone else want to dogpile this poor guy? I swear some of you guys are just looking for an opportunity to out @$$hole each other.
I do not see anyone dog piling the guy. I see lots of people trying to tell him the truth so he will be prepared for what will be coming next. Sometimes the truth hurts but it still needs to be said.

He paid in full for subpar work. My guess is he went with the guy who was 30% cheaper and unfortunately probably doesn't have insurance. He unfortunately will have little recourse from everything he told us. Thus you get what you pay for. I have sadly seen so much corner cutting on this site in regards to construction I'd be willing to bet the OP is not the only one in this boat.
