Feasibility and Analytical Reports for Construction Projects

This online course will help you to understand

The site on which a building is developed places constraints that identify the limitations in a site; to demonstrate knowledge of the research, feasibility and environmental study in terms of legislative requirements; establish the condition of an existing building; and present information from the research, feasibility and environmental study on the design and construction of that building.

For more information watch the course introduction video below.

Students who complete this course will be able to

• Identify constraints and describe the limitations of an existing building site in terms of relevant legislative requirements and building implications for the repair or alteration of the structure.
• Create a simple technical sketch of the given site to include all structures and impediments that exist.
• Research the causes to the condition of the building taking into account climate and environmental factors including atmosphere, weather, human, insect and animal.
• Provide a report to describe the condition of an existing building, identifying the work required to repair or alter the building with consideration to the requirements of the Building Code.
