INTRODUCTION
Design errors, construction mistakes and building failures continue to plague us into the 21st Century even though they are avoidable. Understanding the mechanisms of failure in relation to the building process will enable us to design and construct more 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. This program will provide many new and insightful topics, including the role of Forensic Investigations, current trends in North American Construction Claims, and the cost-effective remediation of errors and mistakes.
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
This program will teach participants how to identify and avoid common design errors and construction mistakes through intense and interactive case studies and group discussions.
