RECC course Building Technology, Defects & Maintenance

 


Course Objectives

The course  has been developed in response to the growing incidence of defects in new buildings and the ageing of existing buildings which require a preventive, corrective and predictive approach to address. The courses will provide a better understanding of the building design and construction process and the properties and performance of building materials, prerequisite underpinning knowledge in proactive defects mitigation and management.

 

Course Structure

The courses have been designed and will be delivered in cognisance of the fact that not all parties with a vested interest in the building life cycle are technically trained or inclined; they may also be involved directly or indirectly in strategic, tactical and operational levels aspects of built environment such as finance and customer service.

The learning outcomes are ‘T” shaped PMEs with cross disciplinary knowledge and understanding to adopt a proactive approach to efficient and cost effective facilities maintenance and defects management.
