A short article on the topic of why these standards exist?
Why is it more profitable to do all work in accordance with building codes and regulations? At first glance, it might seem like these standards are designed to complicate the work and that following them isn't necessarily a matter of "the neighbor did it and everything is fine." Yes, this does happen, but why take the risk? In monetary terms, the difference between work done according to standards and without them won't be much. The answer is simple: who came up with these building codes in the first place? Experience and statistics led to the current standards; they are the optimal option in terms of safety and cost. In short, what do our water leak detection statistics say? 99% of defects could have been avoided if the work had been done according to standards, and only 1% are due to defective parts. When a defect appears after 5-10 years, and it will appear in 90% of cases, you will have to uncover the leak, dry out the room, and at best, you will get away with minor repairs. At worst, this means mold, dampness, wasted time, wasted time, and wasted money. Conclusion: In construction, reliability and durability are paramount.
