Buildings and structures may appear to be static, inert objects. However, in reality they are dynamic – they “move”, “breathe”, age and deteriorate with the passage of time. Unfortunately, they are sometimes designed and built without sufficient provision to “move” and/or “breathe” – resulting in the development of stresses and cracks that can result in failures, subsequent moisture infiltration, energy loss and other problems. Failure to regularly inspect, maintain and repair the building envelope and structure will inevitably result in inadequate durability and a poor return against the original investment in the property

This program will be of special interest and a major benefit to all those involved in the design, specification, construction and maintenance of buildings, including Building & Facility Owners and Managers, Government Agencies, Architects, Engineers and Contractors, as well as Specification Writers, Designers, Inspectors, Technicians, Technologists and Project Managers. The program will also be of interest to Contractors, Managers, Supervisors and Foremen.
