What is one consequence of poor construction and storage practices?

Increased energy costs
Molds and fungus growth
Delayed construction timelines
Higher insurance premiums

The correct answer is: Molds and fungus growth

Poor construction and storage practices can lead to environmental conditions that are conducive to the growth of molds and fungus. When construction materials are not properly stored, they can become exposed to moisture, which is a key factor in mold and fungus proliferation. If materials like wood, drywall, or insulation remain damp or are stored in humid conditions, they can develop mold over time. This not only compromises the integrity of the materials but also poses health risks to occupants due to airborne spores. In contrast, while increased energy costs, delayed construction timelines, and higher insurance premiums can also be serious issues stemming from poor practices, they are secondary to the direct impact of mold and fungus, which arise specifically from inadequate management of moisture and storage environments. Understanding this direct consequence highlights the importance of proper construction and storage techniques to maintain material integrity and safe building conditions.
