Factory Failures
FAILURES IN THE FACTORY
Factory Built Housing is built by minimally trained factory workers and is not legally required to comply with local building code standards and green building codes, or undergo inspections by local authorities. Sub-standard construction and outsourced partial inspections increases the risks of safety hazards, extra costs, and project delays.
FACTORY BUILD HOUSING PROJECT FAILURES
1064 MISSION ST
From torn electrical cables and busted framing to ductwork penetrating a fire rated wall, the 1064 Mission St project saw multiple safety and quality issues.
833 BRYANT ST
Multiple leaks crossed stub outs, and wood debris throughout the water pipes were some of the problems plaguing this supportive housing project.
MACEO MAY
The Treasure Island development for homeless veterans displayed inconsistencies between technical drawings and the delivered product, incorrectly sized pipes, and HVAC issue.
MISSION BAY BLOCK 9
Between hot water lines not in the correct location and vents that could not be tied down, the Mission Bay Block 9 project caused various issues once the products were onsite.
