Building Defects and PSI in Property Transactions
This two-hour course equips real estate professionals to recognise visible building concerns, understand the PSI context, communicate information accurately and arrange suitable professional referral. It adapts the supplied Building Defects and PSI proposal to the architectural course lesson-plan structure. Three formative case studies support a 15-question individual assessment. Technical inspection and certification remain the work of appropriately qualified professionals.
