In 1993 Gilbane Building Company was retained by the Cumberland County Board of Chosen Freeholders to supervise construction of the expansion and remodeling of the Cumberland County Courthouse. In August 1995, Gilbane issued a substantial completion notice that transferred full possession to plaintiff and triggered the commencement of the warranty provisions. By November, leaking had caused water damage but Gilbane was neither notified nor involved in the repair attempts.
