Learning Outcomes<\/h3>\n

The audience will take away fact-based evidence of what we continue to witness in a host of properties, with a defined solution aimed at upholding a uniform and consistent approach for all who live within, survey, remediate and manage buildings in the UK.<\/p>\n

They will gain recognised understanding and reasoning for these repeat issues, alongside how the future can be mapped to better understand a healthier home objective.<\/p>\n

They will take away a refined thought process embracing Awaab’s Law phases 1 and 2 that will assist their property management journey, along with the following key points.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. An understanding that a proven solution for damp and mould is… knowledge!<\/li>\n
  2. There is more than one root cause of damp and mould.<\/li>\n
  3. Mould is a \u2018symptom\u2019 of underlying problems.<\/li>\n
  4. 91% of 4000 surveys for damp and mould in houses confirmed they were structurally dry.<\/li>\n
  5. Mould patterns link directly to root causes.<\/li>\n
  6. How many mould spores are there in one square inch, and what if we spray it?<\/li>\n
  7. How we currently have a fragmented approach to surveying and resolving issues of damp and mould in the UK<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Brief Agenda<\/h3>\n

    David will discuss Cornerstone’s history of surveying property health-related issues and define their findings in a recognisable manner.<\/p>\n

    In addition, he will discuss his thoughts on why and how a uniform Framework (as called for by the Housing Ombudsman) could work based upon the witnessed evidence that remains repetitive even with the introduction of Awaab’s Law.<\/p>\n

    Issues That Will Be Covered<\/h3>\n

    The main problem with identifying, surveying, remediating and managing property health issues is an inconsistent and fragmented approach by respected trades, surveyors and housing managers.<\/p>\n

    David will discuss Cornerstone’s findings that support this comment with evidence-based information alongside how it can be addressed with a unique \u2018did you know\u2019 approach.<\/p>\n

    Findings That Will Be Discussed<\/h3>\n

    David will discuss a number of examples as a collective; however, as an example, he will mention the impact of cavity wall insulation, spray foam insulation, ventilation issues and everyday undertakings that have been designated as a \u2018blame\u2019 related issue in the absence of knowledge.<\/p>\n

    An Explanation of The ‘Connected Approach’<\/h2>\n

    To conclude, David will explain the \u2018connected approach\u2019 covered in this webinar and in short, how it depicts a change in everyone’s method for noticing, dealing, reporting, assessing, repairing and managing damp and mould.<\/p>\n

    A gap in knowledge is the key reason for ongoing damp and mould issues in the UK, with the most varied housing stock types in the whole of Europe.<\/p>\n

    A connected, overlapping approach embraces all stakeholders, designed to replace confusion, arrogance and blame with SMART Knowledge \u2013 based on experience.<\/p>\n

    Target Audience<\/h3>\n

    Target audiences are indeed Housing Associations and Local Authorities plus FM companies and surveyors involved with assessing and remediating the physical aspects of structures for their clients. Recognised bodies would also be welcome to review our comments, including CIH, UKCMB, NHMF, PCA, and NHF.<\/p>\n

    About Cornerstone<\/h3>\n

    Cornerstone was founded in 2009 by industry-experienced individuals seeking to pioneer change in the property damage management sector. With clear, transparent reporting alongside recognisable recommendations for improvements, they were soon approached by a host of clients seeking to understand more about damp, condensation, mould and ventilation in a myriad of structures.<\/p>\n

    With in excess of 5000 surveys to date for Housing Associations, Local Authorities, NHBC, private companies and homeowners, their independent evidence-driven process serves to enlighten all parties of defined root causes alongside key recommendations for immediate and long-term solutions backed up with a \u2018did you know\u2019 approach in a recognisable protocol.<\/p>\n

    The future involves continuing to share knowledge with unique applications, CPD training and a drive for the called-for uniform framework regarding Property Health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1375,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"tags":[],"event_type":[151,104],"event_type_2":[],"class_list":["post-1898","ajde_events","type-ajde_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","event_speaker-david-bly","event_type-pbc-webinars","event_type-webinars"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nIntroducing Healthy Homes | Construction Events & Webinars<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/events\/event-details\/pbctw06\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Introducing Healthy Homes | Construction Events & Webinars\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Learning Outcomes The audience will take away fact-based evidence of what we continue to witness in a host of properties, with a defined solution aimed at upholding a uniform and consistent approach for all who live within, survey, remediate and manage buildings in the UK.
