Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Defective Housing and the Growth of Children In the process of reconstruction after the war there are many problems with which the country is faced which demand a speedy solution. The provision of work for all and a living wage for the worker, providing against periods of ill-health and unemployment, and the failing of the powers with old age, are questions which must be squarely faced and dealt with in a liberal and tolerant spirit. Not only must the worker be granted a living wage, but care must be taken that the expense of living does not increase with the rise in wages.

Download or read book Defects written by Eoin Ó Broin and published by Merrion Press. This book was released on 2021-08-23 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All across Ireland, thousands of people are living in apartments and houses with serious fire safety and structural defects. Some of these have made the news, many more have not. Defects: Living with the Legacy of the Celtic Tiger tells the horrifying story of these people and how they came to be trapped in dangerous homes. In this follow-up to Home, his hugely popular and acclaimed manifesto for public housing reform, Eoin Ó Broin reveals how decisions made by successive governments from the 1960s to the 1990s led to an alarmingly light touch building control regime. This regime, when combined with the hubris and greed of Celtic Tiger-era property development, allowed defective and unsafe properties to be built and sold in huge numbers to unsuspecting victims. Who was responsible? Why were they allowed to get away with it? And who will foot the bill to fix these potentially fatal defects? All these questions and more are answered in this hard-hitting and shocking investigative work.

Download or read book DEFECT written by Mark Whitby and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-04 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of inspecting hundreds of recently built houses, units, and additions (particularly since 1996), it became increasingly apparent that there has been a sharp decline in the quality of work at least in the residential housing sector. This book attempts to defi ne basic contractual terms--such as defect, specifi cation, and performance--that form the very basis for quality in housing. Once defi ned, these terms should go a long way to ending the shortcutting rife in the industry, make insurance fairer for homeowners, and greatly reduce the costs associated with building disputes. It also attempts to set up various models to make this all happen and to ensure that quality is of a high standard well into the future so as to avoid a sizeable blight resulting from the steady decline in the standard of building work being constructed today.
