Even with reasonable care and management at every stage of a building process, defects do occur. Some of these defects are manageable, particularly if they are localised; other defects are more serious, take a longer time to show up and usually need expert investigation. There is, therefore, a need to understand why and how defects occur, what the immediate and long-term implications are, and what remedial measures are necessary to restore, maintain or extend the usefulness and safety of the building. Out of this need has arisen a relatively new discipline which is broadly described as ‘building diagnostics’.
