What's the most expensive construction mistake that has happened in your country? 👇🤓

"I built that thing in january, I had no idea it could get hot in august" -Billion Dollar Architect

Imagine opening an airport after a 10 year delay in 2020 just in time for coronavirus.

You forgot the best part about the lizards in Stuttgart:
They charged up to 100k€ per lizard, bought a very nice piece of land, build them a super fancy area, withg stones, plants and everything they needed but the lizards liked the houses of people more resulting on barely any lizards in the super expensve park they build for them.

"Hey, this building could fall over in a strong wind killing people & causing billions in damages"
New York Elected Officials: "We better not tell anyone about this"

My favorite part about the Brandenburg airport fiasco is that they installed thousands of TVs for departure/arrival info fairly early on in the process and turned them on, but no one ever bothered to turn them off. After ~6 years of being on continuously (while the airport was still closed and under construction) all of the TVs died and had to be replaced.

As a german i know which mistake is on the first place without watching the video.

Choosing the right industry to invest is very critical, Most times, it amazes me greatly how I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $83k per month. Utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years to doubt that opportunities are bound in the financial markets. The only thing is to know where to focus.

What blows me away with government projects is that the companies involved can just increase the cost, and take years longer than agreed, all without any real consequences. So basically the development firm is paid, the contractors are paid, the politicians are paid but taxpayers are screwed and are on the hook for not only the original costs, but all the extra costs and expenses that can result from years, or even a decade more worth of labor for countless numbers of workers.

For example, with the Brandenburg airport, contractors installed the wrong pipes, so were then paid to remove those pipes and put in the correct ones. So basically they were paid for screwing up, then we’re paid again to fix their screwup.

For the first one, the architect actually built another building with the exact same problem, and later he was just like "we thought it would be cloudy so it wouldn't be a problem".

[ReaLRazZ]

"When I visited London it was cold and rainy, dunno why it got so hot when I left" That logic from an architect xD LMFAO

[sabinew]

Man, good job getting those city names of Stuttgart and Ulm pronounced correctly. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!👍

[chrisardern]

The city group center is my favourite the reason being the main architect actually listened to the princeton student. He could have just fobbed her off as a know it all but he didnt he checked her work and realised she was right. It couldn't have been easy for her to tell a respected architect that his building would fall down it lucked his ego wasnt running the company that day.

I'm so proud of my home country (Germany), we're in first and fourth place!

As someone who from an early age was instilled with admiration for German technology, professionalism and efficiency, I must say that the number of spectacular organizational failures in Germany over the past couple of decades is baffling. (The delays and cost increases in building the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg is another example.) Every country has its construction scandals, but Germany simply doesn't seem to live up to its reputation anymore - in fact, not even the trains seem to be running on time these days ;-). I'm not saying it makes Germany any less pleasant; it's still a favourite country, with great cities and even friendlier and more easygoing people than I remember from my first visits 45 years ago. Cheers from Norway :-)

It is such a pleasure to hear how the narrator made a real effort to correctly pronounce foreign words (in Korean, German, French...)

“As they didn’t want to cause a mass panic, very few people...knew about the problem”

Remember this. When something bad is coming, they won’t tell you.

[tannerb]

This makes me feel so much better about my $1000 screw up when renovating my kitchen.

[brimmed]

Kinda crazy that no engineer took that into account on the first one. I'm a EE working for a utility on projects that are 200M and up. During the design process we go through a lot of discussion, and feel like something like that would be at least brought up. Maybe someone did bring it up and then the big boss just said "nah it should be fine"
