Course description
Building Pathology
There are essentially two dimensions to the building surveying profession – the organisation of building work and the assessment of the condition of existing buildings.
The diagnosis of building defects in existing buildings is the focus of this course.
It is an essential part of the building surveyor’s work, a subject often referred to as ‘building pathology’.
The knowledge required for building pathology is an understanding of basic building technology and how and why buildings and materials fail.
The aim of this course is therefore to teach you the principles of structural failure, the properties of building materials and how materials deteriorate as a result of various environmental factors (mostly water).
In addition, you'll learn about the various types of inspection that building surveyors undertake, and the role of surveyor in preparing schedules of dilapidations and acting as an expert witness.
