A tradesperson on a construction site

An introductory one-day course, held in person, covering the basic elements of traditional and low-rise residential construction. It will help you understand the construction elements of a building and some more typical defects you can find in them. It’s not designed to convert property managers into building surveyors, but it will give you more confidence in your professional reporting, advice and discussions with contractors.
