Expert Witness

Expert Witness Testimony

Experts specializing in Latent Defects and Deficiencies and Damage Assessment, including Weather and Storm related problems, have become critical in the construction industry.  Changing environmental conditions, deficient construction, including value engineering, and poorly produced and incomplete plans and specifications are but a few of the reasons that objective experts in the construction industry have become vital and necessary for Law Firms, Bonding and Insurance Companies, Developers and Owners.

GCCI and our Consultants have the years of expertise and construction experience to evaluate the problems, determine the cause of the problems and the most cost effective method for fixing them, and establish who is responsible.

Harvey Gershen, President of GCCI, has been a qualified Expert Witness in the Florida courts since 1984, and has assisted insurance and bonding companies, associations and law firms representing both plaintiffs and defendants.

GCCI's mission is to provide an independent and knowledgeable assessment, which will assure all parties involved in a project an unbiased and fair outcome with a building that meets or exceeds the design, code requirements and life safety regulations.
