Course content

In building protection, condition assessment and proposals for measures of the restoration objects are central to obtaining a good basis for further work on restoration. In order to carry out assessments of the condition, knowledge of the historical building craft and relevant material knowledge is central.

Analysis of damage images based on insight into existing construction may require professional collaboration with other craft disciplines or adjacent disciplines. It may also require the collection of relevant information for the work.

Reporting is central to achieving good implementation of restoration projects. This can be different types of written assessments and communication with involved parties such as owners, administration, employees or other companies. The processes will be studied and discussed through active participation in selected restoration projects.
