Glazing Consultants International, LLC, committed to fair labor practices

Glazing Consultants International, LLC, (GCI) is providing building envelope consulting services, including quality assurance, site inspections and product submittal reviews, for all phases of the Orlando VA Medical Center project.

Although GCI was mentioned in an Orlando Sentinel article about the investigation into employment practices of some contractors and subcontractors on the new Veteran’s Affairs Medical Center near Lake Nona, the company is not a part of any investigation and has not been asked to provide employment records by state or federal agencies.

“GCI has a small staff of specialized experts in everything from windows, doors and wall systems to roofing and waterproofing. All members of our team have worked for us for a number of years and are U. S. Citizens or fully documented,” said Paul Beers, Managing Member of Glazing Consultants International, LLC. “We are committed to following all employment and immigration laws that are in place.”

GCI is proud to be working on this project with a joint venture team of architecture firms RLF and Ellerbe Becket, who designed the Orlando Veterans Affairs Medical Center to achieve LEED Silver Certification. The 1.2 million square foot facility at Lake Nona, FL, will be a full-service VA medical center providing acute care, complex specialty care and advanced diagnostic services through a 134-bed hospital, an outpatient clinic, a 118-bed nursing home and a 60-bed domiciliary. The site will also contain a veteran’s benefits office that will help veterans to obtain compensation, pensions or other financial benefits earned by military service.
