Building

A building is a permanent structure with a roof and walls, constructed for residential, commercial, or institutional use. It is the physical product of the construction industry, subject to safety standards, warranties, and procurement rules.

Why it’s in the news: It is in the news due to a magnitude 7.7 earthquake damaging buildings in Panama, a defects controversy around One Stanley homes prompting extra warranties, and a Bar Association push for proxy caps and e-voting to curb bid-rigging in building contracts.
