Constructing a building is no small feat. It takes lots of planning, lots of manpower, and can be quite costly. In fact, putting together any sort of structure is a challenge that not everyone can excel in. So, in a way, it’s no surprise that people make mistakes, it’s only natural. However, laughing at those mistakes is also as natural, if not more so.

The people responsible for the list below definitely made mistakes. Whether they were constructing, designing, installing, improving, or in any other way working on a construction, they didn’t do it right. More precisely, they failed. In some cases, majorly. And the people from the Facebook group Worst Construction Fails Everrrrrr kindly compiled all of those failures into one big list of laugh-out-loud construction comedy. So, get those safety goggles on, because you might be blown away by the sheer lack of competence.

If you think people started cutting corners during construction in the last century or so, you are awfully mistaken. Back in 27 AD, as in, almost 2,000 years ago, a wooden amphitheater collapsed in Fidenae, near Rome. It happened after the gladiator fight ban was lifted and more than 50,000 people flocked to the theatre to see one. 

Atilius, the entrepreneur that constructed the building, apparently was a bit too stingy with materials which caused a tragedy that resulted in 20,000 deaths and many more injuries. After the collapse, the government limited event hosting to people that had a capital of 400,000 coins or more. To this day, this is the worst structural disaster in history.

    Are Pollack jokes still a thing? They were a thing when I was a little boy in the 60s but back then the world was much bigger and I didn't really think about how insulting that sounded to Polish people. (also, I never believed anything bad about the Polish. It was just a common joke theme. Could have just as easily been some other country)

    My wife's uncle bought a townhouse on the outskirts of Toronto several years ago. Before the driveways were put in, the city planted a tree in front of every garage, then tried to blame the builder because "how was the city supposed to know where the driveways would be if they were not marked?".

    The most famous construction failure that attracts millions of tourists each year is, of course, the captivating Leaning Tower of Pisa. The project was doomed from the beginning in 1178 when it was decided that a 10-feet foundation built on unstable soil will be sufficient enough to hold the whole construction. No wonder the tower started leaning the moment they began working on the second floor. 

    But they didn’t abandon the project. Instead, they took a 55-year break to let the soil settle and continued working on it. Talk about determination. In an effort to compensate for the lean, they adjusted the walls of the upper floors to be taller on one side. That is why the tower has a slight curve. The tower was finished in 1372 or 194 years after the beginning of the project.

    And the trouble, of course, didn’t end there. For years following the construction, people made numerous efforts to keep the tower from falling over. Many didn’t make any improvements while some even worsened the situation. In the end, the stabilization project conducted from 1990 to 2001 was successful. The engineers claim that the tower should stand for another 200 years.

    Ironically, the soft foundations that caused for the tower to lean protected it from earthquake damage. The tower withstood strong tremors at least four times.

    In case of fire, use your nearest grinder to cut off the railing.

    Another structure that suffered due to cutting costs was Tacoma Narrows Bridge that collapsed in 1940, just four months after it was opened to public use. The original design of the bridge intended the use of standard materials. However, they were proven to be too expensive, costing more than 200 million dollars in today’s money. So, a lighter and cheaper option was chosen instead. Unfortunately, this made the suspension bridge twist and buckle on windy days. On November 7th, a 40mph wind hit the structure causing the support cables to snap, and for the bridge to drop into the river below.

    The building collapsed because an underground garage was being excavated. The earth was being dumped on the side by the river. Heavy rains meant there was more pressure on the riverside. The garage side has not been reinforced, and the building collapsed. Totally foreseeable, and totally preventable.

    A rather hilarious construction failure happened in Las Vegas hotel Vdara back in 2010. This time, the fail was related to hotel’s design. The surface of the curved south side of the building reflected the sunlight into one intense beam of light and heat creating what people started calling a “death ray.” And, so it happens, this death ray was hitting the pool deck of the building, alarming the guests. The hotel rushed to solve the problem by installing large umbrellas by the pool and covering the glass with non-reflective film.

    What makes the previous story even funnier, though, is that the same architect made a similar “death ray” building across the pond, in London. The surface of the so-called “Walkie-Talkie” sky scraper would reflect the scorching light to the nearby street causing tile breakage and melting plastic in window displays. The heat also caused damage to a car parked on the street nearby. The journalists looking into this bizarre occurrence even managed to fry an egg on the sidewalk using the heat.

    This happens when too many right hand doors arrive so you have to improvise and use some flipped over as left hand doors. Try telling the office but they just fob you off with, "Just get on with it" sort of talk. Hence Malicious Compliance.

    All that is to say that even professionals make mistakes. So, if there’s something important in your house that needs fixing or remodeling, maybe don’t attempt to do it yourself—it’s hard. And thoroughly vet the professionals you’re hiring. No one needs another door that leads to nowhere.

    This was also in Romania about 15 years ago, if I remember correctly. The rail line was brand new, it hadn't been put into use yet and this was a temporary structure used during construction, I think a diversion of a high-voltage line passing over the site or some such. If you look carefully, there is some plastic sheeting in between the concrete and the rail and the concrete is non-reinforced. After the building was done, they just dismantled the structure and jack hammered away the concrete. Since the line is in currently operation and I passed by not a week ago, I can definitely say, that, as stupid as that looks, it definitely worked.

    Possible logical answer - it is still broken and just barely hanging on by the one screw in the center bracket and thus it pivots on that point. You can see that the bracket closest to the front of the photo has not been moved and is still mounted to the wall in the correct place.

    The accessibility ramp seems to have been added afterwards (presumably in response to legislation). Even if the door can be opened inwards that is still an extremely tight angle for someone to try and turn in a wheelchair or mobility scooter

    I would bet this is a very old building. The standard offset for a toilet f****e has been 12" for quite a long while, but before that it could be anything from 8" to 18" depending on the manufacturer. Toilets with odd offsets are now very expensive because you'll pay $500 extra to not have to tear up the floor in your bathroom to install a new toilet. Or you can install one sideways, or with a giant gap behind it.

    Well, see some people are handicapped. Some use crutches, some are in wheel chairs, some are too fat and knees to weak, and some are just too old to manage stairs or steep inclines. The solution, is to build a RAMP, likely from the road, possibly from the walkway in front of the building directly to the door. But if the stairs are already there, and there's any chance the ramp will no longer be needed in the future, you don't really need to remove them, do you? The only mystery here is how anyone, in 2023 is oblivious enough to overlook the glaringly obvious explanation.

    i mean the water you use to wash hands is the water that then drains and refills the tank after you flush in the toilets that do this, so it's clean water coming over your hands. But i'm not sure a urinal works like that....?

    We kind of have something like this. The house we bought has a beautiful birch tree right at the corner of the garage. There was just a basic sidewalk leading to the front door. We poured a whole slab to the left of the tree and connected it to the original driveway, so now there's a tree just sitting in the middle because we didn't have the heart to cut it down.
