Know Your Product: Apartment Buildings (Online)

Know Your Product: Apartment Buildings provides a comprehensive introduction to apartment buildings. The course takes the learner through a journey from the concrete foundation of a building to the roof-top amenities available in newer high-rises. This course includes the following topics:

· concrete and mass timber construction; 

· foundations and parkades; 

· vertical construction; 

· building envelope; 

· interior walls; 

· amenity spaces; 

· electrical systems; 

· heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC) systems; 

· plumbing systems; 

· elevators; and 

· interior finishes.

 

Apartment buildings are constantly evolving. Thus, the course also discusses sustainability features, current technology, and security systems integrated into apartment buildings. Additionally, this course’s special feature discusses building codes that govern apartment construction and safety. 

 

Learners will leave this course with an improved ability to serve their clients by answering questions regarding not just the suite, but the building the suite is in. Realtors will also be better able to discuss current and potential problems with a property, provide a more accurate evaluation of a property considering the building’s condition, help their clients explore the pros and cons of any building that the client may be interested in, and identify when to consult other professionals for expert advice.
