Where is the thread about the bidding war on a Tige? I must have missed it.

Well, a possible bidding war. Two Canadians looking at boats that sound remarkably similar

Tough to have a bidding war with no bids

What's your take on the situation. It seem like the building architects and engineers determined the links were formed improperly, and if the city civil engineer agrees then the building permits would be revoked and the building would have to be demolished. Too bad they got so far with the building before the discovered it was put together wrong.

thanks to both of you, but there are two types of people in the west, the quick and the dead

from what I've read about that building the concrete contractor has not been paid, and if the steel is the problem the concrete bill should be paid, whether it gets demolished or not, or is there more to the story? its very interesting, was there any payola happening behind the scenes? i guess it is vegas after all.

From speaking with several people who have observed some of the defects, they are severe. Regarding the structural "fixability" of the building, I don't really know.

As far as blame goes - there is plenty to go around. The GC claims that the plans were to blame, but if they determined during construction that the plans violated building code requirements, or that the plans as drawn were not able to be constructed, then they should have halted work until they got responses and revised drawings from the design engineer. Meanwhile, the rebar subcontractor was placing it incorrectly, neither the rebar sub nor the GC seems to have been adequately providing quality control, and the third party quality assurance inspections didn't identify the problems. All share blame, in my opinion. But, ultimately, I feel that the GC is responsible to construct a safe building to comply with the plans and codes. Therefore, I feel that the GC shoulders the largest liability.

wow, what a mess, hard to believe professionals would let a big project like that get out of control. this will be an interesting read when the dust settles for a case study in project management and leadership.
