OUR EXPERIENCE WAS A JOURNEY.

This course aims to educate you on lessons learned from various building-failure-related property claims. Through case studies on topics such as hail damage to roof coverings, wind damage to building envelopes, differential foundation movement, structural failure and collapse, flood damage, explosion forces, design and construction deficiencies, and impact forces from trees or vehicles, the course will highlight causes, contributing factors, patterns of distress, unsafe conditions, evaluation methodologies, and available testing. Key learning objectives include: Understanding basic concepts of forensic engineering and appropriate testing/evaluation methodologies for different property claims. Identifying common patterns of distress in building failures. Recognizing unsafe conditions that warrant prohibiting access to a building. Identifying potential avenues for recovery of repair costs, such as traditional litigation and subrogation. The knowledge gained from this course will help you properly manage claim files involving structural and material failures.
