The National Building Review Board released preliminary findings on the collapsed Holy City Church extension, citing possible structural design defects, poor workmanship and an absence of site safety measures. The Board said no building permit or approved drawings were found at the site, although the structure was a Class A building requiring the highest level of approval. Its spokesperson said material samples were being tested in a laboratory.
