House BuildingLaajuus (5 ECTS)

Objective

On completion of the course the student is familiar with control mechanisms at different stages of a construction project.
The student can analyse built environment and is able to use relevant information sources to get information about construction.
The student can observe inside and outside stresses on a structure caused by weather conditions and different activities.
The student knows the principles and possibilities related to building information modelling (BIM) and knows which drawings and documents are needed in a construction project.

Content

1. Processes and tools for guiding land use and construction
2. Sources of information in the field of construction
3. Building types and building components.
4. Basics of BIM, work specifications, drawings and legends
5. Thermal, water, fire and acoustic insulation
6. The building envelope, the roof, and water drainage from the surroundings
7. Principles of accessibility and practices of achieving it
