Damage resulting from movement caused by subsidence and settlement remains one of the principal problems affecting buildings but it is commonly misunderstood.  There is a long history of misdiagnosis and of the implementation of excessive and/or inappropriate remediation works.  Property professionals need to be able to diagnose the cause or causes of defects observed, make judgements as to whether corrective action is necessary or desirable, including with respect to previous action, and to understand best current remediation practice.  This course is delivered by a leading specialist in the field and has been developed to challenge and improve poorly informed practice.

The course covers:

• subsidence  and settlement
• definition and insurance
• external causes of movement
• inherent weaknesses in buildings
• measurement and monitoring
• remediation techniques and their consequences
• current approaches
• case studies
