It's not first my choice to fix the problem, but I've been over ruled.
1/2" in 4' is alot.

Why is it so bad? Sometimes people assume settling, and it's more severe like a split joist or joists set on masonry and starting to rot. If you can get to the joists below, I'd fix it at the source. If not, and the subfloor is exposed, consider removing subfloor and fixing the framing from above.

If it is a slab, masonry floor, I would just level it with a good compound. If it is wood framing, consider graduated rips of plywood and shims, so the leveling compound isn't so thick.
