Mr. Gogulski is a professional engineer with 40 years experience in forensic consulting, expert witness testimony, construction management, engineering, and facilities management encompassing a broad range of project types including industrial, educational, historical renovations, medical, transportation, residential and government facilities. He is a highly skilled, seasoned professional with mulit-disciplinary skills that uniquely qualify him for the most demanding of assignments.
My real estate development experience includes a few feasibility studies while employed by General Electic’s Real Estate and Construcon Operation in Schenectady, New York, an extensive investigation for a new corporate headquarters (which resulted in a successful new move) for Teradyne while employed as Director of Facilities, and assistance in site evaluations for several shopping centers while employed by Lanning Corporation as Director of Construction. In addition, as Director of Construction for a few New Jersey residential developers, I was very much involved in the planning board process.
Here in Las Vegas, I have contacts with a few large developers, and have supervised engineering on shopping centers which required extensive revisions to obtain permits. Also, as forensic engineer on pending litigation I sometimes get involved in reviewing the permit process and impact of agencies in terms of delay damages.
