Identifications of potential problems early will assist in the health and welfare of the commercial building and those who utilize the facility. All stakeholders in a commercial project want to see it completed successfully and last years. This is not intended to make all field experts but to illustrate conditions that if identified early could prevent a failure. This presentation takes a high-level look at common causes of failures that occur repeatedly.
