From the author of the bestselling book 'Diagnosing Damp' this is a unique set of six, one-hour training DVDs dealing with the real investigation of building failure. It is a huge resource of groundbreaking information covering many aspects of building construction, failure and remediation relating to dampness and flooding.

  • Help avoid common mistakes and misconceptions.
  • Provide best practice in diagnosis and remediation.
  • Offer advice on specifying top quality contractual work.

This series of training DVDs looks to break through all this and provide a vital training resource containing tips, techniques and eye-opening information for Surveyors, specialist legal practitioners and any other property professionals with a vested interest in the construction, failure and remediation of buildings.
