The Decision Advantage

Lawsuits are starting to pile up, in the wake of the collapse of the Champlain Towers South condominium. Most seek damages - not only for the deaths of the nearly 100 people who died -- but also for the loss of 138 individual units. In today’s podcast, RANE Founder David Lawrence talks to industry experts on what we know and don’t know about what went wrong and what needs to be done to prevent similar tragedies. He’s joined by Raymond Dookhie from K2 Intelligence and Jon Mechanic for a discussion on the implications for real estate owners, developers, and investors that touches on the due diligence required, the growing impact of climate change, what an effective maintenance program looks like, and how to monitor construction to ensure code and quality compliance.
