Building projects can be a source of great anticipation, but they can also end in disappointment if the final results don’t meet your expectations. These photographs serve as a reminder that checking references before hiring professionals is crucial.
Bored Panda has curated a collection of disastrous building and renovation projects from all over the world. These images are not just amusing, but they also highlight the importance of proper planning and execution in construction.
One photo captures a woman in Colombia attempting to reach an impossibly high telephone on the street. In the US, a gate indicating a closed sidewalk can easily be bypassed by walking on the grass next to it. And imagine taking an escalator only to find it leads to a brick wall!
In another perplexing example, a restaurant offers a disabled toilet, but unfortunately, it can only be accessed by climbing a few steps, making it useless for those with physical disabilities. Additionally, a bridge was built over a pool, even though a path already existed.
A particularly unsettling picture shows a slide leading to a cement pit, leaving you wondering where it actually goes. FEMAIL has gathered this list of mind-boggling construction fails that will leave you scratching your head.
Consider a car park space that seems almost impossible to access due to curbs and barriers on either side. Or a CCTV camera that was strategically placed in front of an obstruction, totally obstructing its function. And what about a clock that was installed without considering that a metal pole would cover half of it? The solution? Writing the numbers over the pole, of course!
Sometimes, seemingly basic elements are overlooked, like a sink that fails to fulfill its purpose of draining water. One wonders how such oversights can happen.
Perhaps the most concerning examples are the ones that pose safety risks. A disabled spot in a car park that, if occupied, would block three other cars. Or a fan placed in such a way that its blades would collide with a projector if turned on. It’s clear that some jobs have been poorly executed.
These shocking pictures remind us that attention to detail, proper planning, and adherence to regulations are essential in construction. Let these construction fails serve as a cautionary tale and a reminder to always prioritize quality workmanship.
