Thas what happens when you go with the lowest bid or the fastest builders.

Building with REAL quality takes time and money.

Most people nowadays dont realize how shoddy some of the buildings they are in are put together to save time and make the contractor more money .

Company that built collapsed FIU bridge offers ‘thoughts and prayers’

The company that built the collapsed Florida International University bridge sent out condolences just four hours after touting the opening on its Facebook page.

MCM - Munilla Construction Management

Our family’s thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by this terrible tragedy. The new UniversityCity Bridge, which was under construction, experienced a catastrophic collapse causing injuries and loss of life. MCM is a family business and we are all devastated and doing everything we can to assist. We will conduct a full investigation to determine exactly what went wrong and will cooperate with investigators on scene in every way.

Its funny in my town we worked on a college bridge not over traffic.

But i thought it was funny that my company purposely modified structural clips because it was easier and cheaper .

I no longer work there and i hope someone could stop shit like that .



The problem is that the inspectors are buddies with the builders they all hangout .

So some shit gets "passed" when it really shouldnt .

Its why i dont stay working long cause im the guy that is always questioning if something is right . Cause i was trained to do work correctly as possible .

Sucks

Court documents show that MCM, or Munilla Construction Management, was accused of substandard work in a lawsuit filed earlier this month. The suit said a worker at Fort Lauderdale International Airport, where the company is working on an expansion, fell and injured himself when a makeshift bridge MCM built collapsed under the worker’s weight.

The suit charged the company with employing “incompetent, inexperienced, unskilled or careless employees” at the job site.
