There was most definitely a number of things done wrong.That's the problem- my contractor thinks he did nothing wrong and will not pay for any repairs. I have retained a lawyer but he has asked me to find any violations he may have done minus any requirement in a permit.
That said, the right way for it to be done was with a permit and a design completed by a licensed engineer. We can't say specifically what is wrong (other than it failed structurally), because what should have been required is not evident without the engineer's design.
