Abstract
Building inspection systems must rely on dependable information. Correlation matrices establish expert knowledge-based relationships to swift associations of defects with causes, diagnosis methods, repair techniques, and other defects. A methodology of developing correlation matrices in a global inspection system based on existing element-specific systems is presented. This procedure is influenced by the classification lists’ harmonisation and the transposition from two-dimensional to homogenised three-dimensional correlation matrices. With strict predetermined criteria, four global matrices were built, tested in fieldwork and adjusted. They are an advantageous tool for surveyors. In the future, they will be the basis for the automation of the system.
