National trade body, Property Care Association<\/a> has launched a new training programme, \u2018Defects in Cavity Construction\u2019 to address modern challenges in an age-old construction technique<\/h2>\n

\u2018Defects in Cavity Construction\u2019 is a one-day workshop introduced by the PCA to give professionals including chartered surveyors, valuers, property managers and building contractors the inside track on issues which have come to the fore in recent years.<\/p>\n

The PCA was one of the first in the building industry to report an increase in reported cases of dampness and condensation affecting properties built using cavity wall<\/a> construction and, since then, such issues have become increasingly well-documented.<\/p>\n

As a result, the PCA has developed this new workshop to give those involved in the investigation and diagnosis of defects in this form of construction with an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms that cause cavity wall buildings to fail.<\/p>\n

As well as investigating defects, it also looks at the specification of solutions. The first \u2018Defects in Cavity Construction\u2019 course runs at PCA\u2019s head office in Huntingdon on April 2 2020.<\/p>\n

Discounts apply for members of professional bodies including RICS<\/a>, RIBA<\/a> and RPSA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Understanding mechanisms that are causing defects<\/h3>\n

PCA technical manager, James Berry, said: \u201cCavity wall construction is a building method that has been incredibly reliable and robust.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, issues over their use and adaption for the needs of the 21st Century mean we must start to understand the mechanisms that are increasingly causing them to fail.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver a decade ago, members of the PCA first began to report increasing incidences of dampness and condensation affecting properties built using cavity wall<\/a> construction.<\/p>\n

\u201cWall tie corrosion affects many older buildings that incorporate metal cavity wall ties, and this is now well understood.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, what was being observed was the effects of an ageing technology coupled with changes in occupation, and the impact of draught-proofing and the ever-growing use of retrofit.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, we\u2019ve brought together our findings and experiences in this field over the last ten years to develop this unique, one-day workshop.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe programme examines the origins of the cavity wall right through to the effects of retrofit cavity, internal and external insulation and the effects of occupation, surface and interstitial condensation<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
