Description
This is a hybrid subject that examines:
- construction technology for industrial buildings
- building quality and common defects;
- building disputes; and
- remedial building.
The construction of industrial buildings, such as warehouses and factories, are examined in detail, coupled with a site visit, with a particular focus on site sub-strata conditions, soil contamination and the main structural principles of wide-span buildings.
Students are then exposed to current industry case studies on how building quality affects a construction project manager's day-to-day duties and the process when minimum building standards are not met and when building quality is scrutinised during and after the handover process.
