On balance, most parties in the construction and property management industries conduct their businesses the right way. Behind every decision made, there is the understanding that a single misstep can have a cost—both, financial and human. That drives the best owners, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, property managers and others involved in projects to perform their jobs at a high level, with health and safety at the forefront.

June’s tragic condominium collapse in Surfside, Florida, was a reminder of just how important doing things “the right way” truly is. While the investigation into the building collapse is ongoing—with the precise cause(s), where and how the issues with the building originated, and whether anyone will face consequences over it yet to be determined—the incident undoubtedly will prompt those involved in real estate and construction to take a closer look at their own projects and those performing work on them. It is only natural and pragmatic—no one wants something like this to happen on their watch.
