Abstract
States that over the last decade an increasing number of new buildings have become disfigured in the first few years of their use. Outlines a recent major study of this phenomenon and investigates the following areas: what premature staining is and what effects it can have; the mechanisms of the staining process; building features that commonly give rise to staining problems; strategies for remedial measures once staining has occurred. Presents unique yet practical solutions to this increasing problem and concludes that the key to avoiding staining is a detailed consideration of a broad range of issues at all stages of the design and construction process.

Abstract
Describes a computer‐aided learning package developed as a multi‐media teaching resource. The package models a three‐bedroomed terrace house and students are able to interact with the model and simulate a building survey. The program is being developed as a CPD resource, particularly with the new seller’s survey in mind.
