But Tekin also blamed engineers and architects' low quality of education, despite private universities appearing across Türkiye.Türkiye's rules on construction, based on California's, have been regularly revised since a 1999 tremor in northwestern Türkiye."On paper, standards are respected, with contracts entrusted to private companies in charge of checking them," Istanbul architect Aykut Koksal said.
To fix this issue, he recommends imposing an insurance on all actors against malpractice that guarantees victims compensation by guilty contractors.The clear negligence and greed shown by some contractors has sparked fury, especially after luxury flats built within the last 20 years crumbled like a pack of cards.The first legal complaint was made on Friday in the southeastern province of Diyarbakir and others have followed.
