INTRODUCTION

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.  If buildings are designed and built without sufficient provision to “move” and/or “breathe” – significant stresses and cracks will develop that can result in failures, moisture infiltration, energy loss and other problems. Experience has shown that the 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.

Understanding the mechanisms of failure in relation to the building process will enable us to design and construct durable buildings and structures.  Increased durability will result in reduced maintenance costs and longer service life of buildings and structures. This program is designed to develop an increased awareness of the proper design and specification of materials and methods of construction to produce durable buildings and structures.

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES

This program will teach participants current building design trends and durable building construction techniques through intense and interactive case studies and group discussions. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn first-hand proven methods for success in the repair and maintenance of buildings.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

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
