Investigation of Moisture and its Effects on Traditional Buildings: Principles and Competencies

Overview

The document clearly sets out a step-by-step methodology to guide a surveyor when carrying out a moisture inspection of a traditional building. This landmark document will, in time, become the industry standard and it is of critical importance that it is brought to the awareness of RICS Matrics and those who are in training and the early stage of their professional career. This free online webinar will take a detailed look at the whole document and highlight how it should be used in practice and specifically on the changes that now need to be adopted by surveyors to avoid the recommendation for unnecessary ‘remedial damp proofing.’
