ORLANDO, Fla., April 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Florida-based Liberty

An affiliated student-housing complex for the University of Central
Florida, Pegasus Landings had undergone significant moisture-related
damage in both the interior and exterior of 34 buildings, which
resulted in more than $54 million in renovations and repairs.
Liberty conducted an investigation and analysis to determine the
design and construction defects that had caused the damage. Liberty
Vice President George DuBose also provided expert witness testimony on
behalf of the property manager defendant for both building envelope
and HVAC-related defects, allowing the parties to arrive at a
confidential settlement.
"There are hundreds of complexes across the country at this kind of
risk. The property manager is the last person standing in a world
where an increasing number of buildings have underlying design or
construction defects that have gone unresolved," DuBose cautioned.
If you suspect your building may be suffering from a mold or
moisture-related problem, it's in your best interest to contact a
building forensics firm like Liberty to look into possible
construction or design deficiencies.
A recognized leader in helping clients design and construct complex,
sustainable green buildings, Liberty proactively addresses possible
failures of those same projects. Our philosophy is that proactive
problem avoidance is always the best approach. The Liberty staff has a
combined 200 years of experience in solving construction and design
deficiencies, including over 30 years consulting with Walt Disney
Corporation on more than 500 highly complex construction projects
worldwide.
Internationally, the firm brings the expertise and knowledge of over
1,000 projects (across the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean,
as well as in Europe and Asia) to meet your needs in commercial
properties. Liberty's clients have successfully built over $20B in
construction as a result of our problem avoidance peer reviews. We
have assisted clients in recovering over $500 million through our
proven ability to understand and apportion complex moisture-related
insurance claims and then to effectively communicate our findings to a
judge or jury. Visit us at www.libertybuilding.com.
