If there’s a construction site next to your building, you know firsthand the potential problems: Not only are there noise and dust, but you may also be facing facade cracks, shifted walls, deflected floors, foundation settling, and structural instability.
In RAND’s Ask Our Experts video series, RAND Structural Engineer Christine Hobson, PE explains why a structural evaluation and ongoing construction monitoring are recommended for buildings adjacent to a site where a new property is being built.
