I think our insurance company may be having a call with our GC

[175gr7.62]

We knew he didn’t build it per code but didn’t make a big stink about it. Building is only 2 years old...

He tried to make beams out of 25ft long receiver channel and didn’t 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 we’d be having some funerals. Sounded like a bomb when it collapsed on us.

you get what you pay for. Not trying to be mean. I built my barndo on the cheap, but I paid for money for good oversight.

That steelman oven ain’t cheap!

Is strange that the "rafters" failed and the purlins that aren't welded to the rafters are still lined up with the rafters.

Dang it

[RascalArms]

Mm mm mm

Dang horrible.

I guess that is why I am willing to pay more for getting things built per Code.

Best of luck - hopefully it will all get covered by insurance.

All the gas valves and controls are ripped out of it...

Can you say “lawsuit “?

I’m not trying to be rude, but why would any GC not build anything to code no matter where it’s located knowing they are likely going to have to pay to fix it should an issue arise?
I have had tons of requests to do things cheaper by not meeting codes on projects outside of town. I respectfully decline.

He used the wrong material but I bet you didn’t ask him to design for a snow load.

Again, I am not trying to be mean, but there is some real shanky engineering in your building. Paying full price, does not mean you get the engineering value, that you want.

I hope your builder will hold up his end.

Ouch! That’s rough...

How many feet did he span with those c purlin rafters, 25’? And are they 8”?
