Description

This book provides simple principles for the day to day management and assessment of residential buildings and their defects. Organising defects by era, the book covers what building materials and methods were used originally what the common defects are and how they could be remedied. With practical commentary drawn from the author's own experiences the book includes: advice on how to approach surveying defects, equipment and recording; how to read buildings and interpret age; how to view rooms and roofs to gain the most information; what to look for when dealing with particular styles of buildings; lists of common defects with remedies; tips on how to deal with occupants and contractors; how to write effective specifications; and, guidance on how to apply cost control theory. A practical, no-nonsense, easily digestible guide, this book is ideal for all building surveyors dealing with residential properties.
