SRT112- Sustainable Construction

Task(s):
The setting of this assignment is that you have been asked by a client to inspect a property they are considering purchasing. They require you to examine the property, identify and assess any faults that are present and provide a written report detailing a description of the property (including materials), faults and recommended remedial repairs (along with repair costs.)

To achieve this, you are to undertake a physical inspection of your home or selected property. Ideally this will be the same building you evaluated for Assignment 1. The aim of this inspection is to ascertain the structural integrity of the home and identify any faults it may have; both major and minor.

This is an individual assignment, please read the instructions carefully.

There are four separate tasks to be undertaken for the assignment as follows;

1.    Building inspection:     Each student must undertake an inspection of their home and provide a description of their inspection process, e.g. sequence and mode of inspection, overall impressions, observations, any tools or equipment used to carry out the inspection, time and date etc.  

2.    Building description:    You are required to provide a detailed description of the building including the materials used. This should cover everything from the foundations to the roof and also any other building(s) on the land parcel such as sheds, garages and so on.
