Expert Witness

GBC Group has extensive experience and successful results in providing Expert Witness and Dispute Resolution services to our clients; As Building Surveyor specialists in this field, we are regularly engaged by leading law firms to act as experts within the High Court, WHRS Tribunal and Arbitration, providing impartial independent advice on behalf of plaintiffs, claimants, respondents and defendants. 

Our experience in the New Zealand building industry positions us well with a working and practical understanding of the issues, products, nuances and practices of the time.  We pride ourselves on providing a prompt service with expedient use of our time.  A successful result relies on careful analysis of data and evidence, thorough investigation and the ability to work through a process analytically, logically and objectively while understanding the intricacies of the claim. We look to work closely with the clients’ legal council providing information, reports and a brief of evidence in a format that is easy to understand for all parties.

At GBC Group we understand the stress, pressure and escalating costs that a claim can impact on our clients. This in mind, we look to ensure that a cost effective service is delivered.
