Sean Fitzgerald

Liberty Building Forensics Group (LBFG) is pleased to announce that Senior PM Sean Fitzgerald has been accepted as a certifications board member for the American Council for Accredited Certification (ACAC). 

Fitzgerald is uniquely qualified for this prestigious position due to his extensive background working on some of the country's largest remediation projects, including his experience with hotels and in the hospitality industry. 

His latest work includes the remediation of a 10-story hotel in Washington, D.C. that suffered from HVAC and building envelope system issues, which served as the basis of its subsequent $100M+ sale. 

Fitzgerald has also recently completed HVAC ductwork remediation for a 1.5 million s.f. healthcare facility, and was part of the LBFG team that renovated and remediated parts of the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotels.

For Fitzgerald, attaining this designation represents the highest achievement in his field. 

"It is exciting to work with LBFG on the largest and most complicated hotel and healthcare remediation projects in the country," he explained. "Accepting an appointment with the ACAC certification board is a humbling opportunity for me to be a part of sustaining excellence in our industry. It is a responsibility that I will take seriously."

LBFG President George DuBose praised Fitzgerald for his ACAC appointment, reiterating that his vast experience with LBFG in identifying and resolving large and complicated hotel, healthcare, multi-family, and educational mold and moisture remediation projects will enable him to serve more effectively in his new position.

LBFG's experience includes over 30 years of successfully assisting the Disney Corporation in completing over 500 highly complex construction projects worldwide, as well as successfully resolving the largest moisture/mold problem in the last 20 years and recovering $60MM+ in repair costs for the Hilton Hawaiian Village. 

Liberty staff have authored 3 manuals that are currently serving as industry standards for avoiding and resolving mold and moisture problems, including both the NCARB training monograph used by architects worldwide and Disney's in-house design guidelines.

George DuBose

Liberty Building Forensics Group (LBFG) recently completed work on a $1B project in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

Its focus was on analysis and remediation of a mold and moisture-related problem.

LBFG is becoming increasingly involved in more diagnostic and remediation projects on an international scale, including both Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
