1. Poor Building Design: Inadequate designs that do not take into account the weather and environmental conditions of the area can result in buildings that are susceptible to failure.
2. Inferior Building Materials: The use of low-quality building materials that are prone to wear and tear can lead to the failure of a building structure.
3. Inadequate Maintenance: A lack of proper and regular maintenance of a building can result in gradual wear and tear of the structure, which ultimately leads to failure.
4. Foundation Issues: Weak foundations, caused by inadequate soil preparation, faulty construction techniques, or adverse soil and water conditions can result in building failure.
5. Natural Disasters: Natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes can cause significant damage to buildings, resulting in their failure.
6. Human Error: Poor workmanship, inferior quality control, improper installation of building systems, and other human errors can cause building failures.
7. Aging: Buildings age over time, and with age, they can experience wear and tear, leading to structural deficiencies that can result in building failure.
