A Critical Look at Home Construction and Climate Threats

Directed by George Siegal, a passionate advocate for consumer rights and resilience, Built to Last: Buyer Beware explores the problems caused by poorly constructed homes and the consequences for homeowners and communities, especially in the face of disasters like hurricanes and floods intensified by climate change. The film features industry experts, researchers, and homeowners sharing firsthand accounts of the devastation caused by negligent construction practices.

David Murray appears in the film as a legal expert, sharing his experience representing homeowners across Florida. He emphasizes the urgent need for accountability in both the construction and insurance industries, especially as more families face the uncertainty of their homes not withstanding the storms they were promised to endure.

“I’ve seen far too many families suffer because their homes weren’t built with the future in mind. This film gives a voice to those families and challenges us all to demand better from the construction and insurance industries.” — Murray
