In April 2013, however, structural experts hired by Tutor Perini told the Clark County Building Department the destructive testing on the Harmon, including concrete removal, made the building unrepairable and unsafe to the public. Wow!
Tutor Perini decided not to stand in the way of the demolition and Clark County District Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez signed off on the demolition plan May 5.
Amazing sequence.

That being said I would NEVER send out designs for a job this size and not pop by the site for a look when I can (even if I don't charge for the inspection). There's too much liability involved not to at least take a peek at the construction to ensure it somewhat mimics the design intent.

It brings to mind a saying: if someone accuses your sister of being a whore, before you can explain to people that you don’t have a sister they’ve already decided that she is.
