    The recorded collapsed buildings
    It appears there are no professionals involved in the development process of the buildings.
    Pls note that all buildings must have architects and so the 1st question to ask on any building matter is who is the architect?
    Other matters relating to procurement and construction must be managed by qualified and experienced relevant professionals.
    Thanks
