OVERVIEW

In the construction industry, all stakeholders such as the clients, consultants, contractors, and authorities aspire that the projects are implemented successfully based on scope, cost, time and quality.

 

Contractors then execute the construction works by utilizing resources such as professionals, skilled and unskilled workers, materials, machineries, tools and equipment, methodology, technology, management, and money and in compliance with all statutory laws, rules, regulations and guidelines.
The clients aspire that the projects be implemented within the shortest time possible and with high quality, consultants must abide by construction drawings and specifications whilst contractors aspire to execute the works as per contract within the shortest time and the least cost possible.

 

Despite all the mitigating efforts by all relevant parties , there are still occurrences of defects and failures relating to architectural, civil and structural, electrical and mechanical works such as wall cracking, wall slanting, painting peeling off, differential settlement, soil subsidence, steel fatigueness, timber warping, ceiling leaking, slope erosion, slope failure, uneven tiles, air condition malfunctioning, road cracking, roof sagging, shoring and scaffolding for temporary works and accidents at work sites.

 

So, questions arise as to the non-achievement of quality works, as to why these occurrences of defects and failures, the probable contributing factors to these defects and failures, as to how to ascertain these probable contributing factors, the methods available to obtain this information and the appropriate methods/techniques to be adopted in the construction industry.

 

To be able to dwell on all of the above, it is imperative to acquire the relevant fundamental knowledge and understanding of forensic engineering investigation.

AFTER ATTENDING THIS COURSE YOU WILL RETURN TO YOUR JOB…
  1. Understanding of failure occurrences; Gaining in-depth insights into the multifaceted
    factors contributing to failures, equipping you to anticipate and prevent similar incidents in future projects.
  2. Understanding comprehensively the roles, motivations and interactions of all the key
    players involved, facilitating smoother project execution.
  3. Acquiring knowledge on project cycle in relation to diverging interest of key players.
  4. Gaining clarity on the distinct roles
