Course Summary
Envelope inspections within the construction and building industry are vital to the success of individual projects. They ensure the highest level of workmanship, the quality of materials, and the safety of the finished building.
Gaining extensive comprehension of the processes of various construction and building inspections can lead to an increase in knowledge that can be applied throughout the project. These processes must be carried out utilising particular tests and methods to prevent the possibility of damaging materials post-project completion. Understanding the inspection guidelines and potential faults of the material can result in greater awareness when completing the task initially.
To ensure effective inspections, assessing the reason they are conducted is crucial. Inspections will compare various aspects of the established guidelines to measure the quality of materials and the workers' skills. These inspections will highlight shortcomings within the project and allow those responsible to revisit and make the necessary adjustments. Not only do inspections ensure quality, but they also ensure health and safety. If an aspect of the building is unreliable, it potentially could lead to greater structural issues or cause great harm to those working or the public.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the importance of envelope inspections.
- Identify the role envelope inspections play within a quality management system.
- Manage and monitor workmanship within building construction.
- Review non-destructive examination methods for steel and welding.
- Effectively inspect completed tasks to ensure safety and eliminate any potential risks.
- Assess how envelope inspection is applied to a range of areas within a construction site.
- Evaluate the concepts, principles and processes of an envelope inspection.
- Utilise effective envelope infections to reduce project costs and waste.
This course is designed for anyone responsible for construction inspections or those who wish to develop existing skills further. It would be most beneficial for:
- Architects
- Building and Construction Inspectors
