Reasons to control building failures:

• To increase the sustainability of buildings
• Make buildings last longer and be more energy efficient
• Achieve buildings that offer better dollar value with lower maintenance costs
• Safer properties by reducing hazards and accidents in buildings
• Combat poor air quality to avoid “sick building syndrome” and building related illnesses
• To minimize negligence and other legal consequences in construction

Types of failures:

• Aesthetic – concrete, peeling & flaking paint, ceilings.
• Functional- doors, windows, etc
• System failure of components and elements – de-bonding & bubbling of membrane
• Structural – issues caused by settlement & subsidence
• Non-structural – roof, eaves troughs, downspouts, plaster, paint blistering & peeling, floor coverings, etc
• Reversible – jamming of doors & windows due to moisture
• Irreversible – chemical reaction, structural movement issues, etc
• Material failures – deterioration of metals, wood, mortar, brick, etc
