Some building projects deserve recognition for being the worst ever. But selecting the winner of the top award would be challenging.

There always seems to be more, no matter how many crooked walls or doors that lead nowhere one has seen. Many of these wind up on Reddit as incredible illustrations of how not to build things.

In fact, r/ConstructionFails is an entire subreddit devoted to such "marvels" of creativity. It's difficult to determine if such outcomes are caused by a lack of skill, a disregard for safety precautions, or some other factor.

Some people grow to love and hate the building industry. It's a laborious process that calls for a lot of time and effort.

Failures in construction can occur for a variety of reasons. While some may be the result of bad planning, others are entirely the responsibility of the building crew.

Whatever the case, it demonstrates how crucial every detail is in this dangerous sector. One thing is certain, though: whether made of straw, wood, bricks or any other material, for that matter, a wolf could huff and puff his way through the majority of the structures in the images.

Whenever something has to do with construction, you might want to check it twice. Everything, starting with the person in charge of ignoring it, is what we mean when we say "everything."

No matter the job, it is essential to hire a trustworthy team because the outcomes could be very bad. Or it'll just turn out hilarious.
