ABOUT

Revay Coating Consultants, Inc. (RCCI) is a Fort Lauderdale-based, independent consulting firm specializing in forensic coatings analysis, predictive diagnostics, and long-term performance evaluation of protective coating and building-envelope systems. The firm provides expert-level analysis and advisory services in matters where technical precision, evidentiary integrity, and professional independence are essential.

Founded by David V. Revay, an internationally recognized authority in coatings science, failure diagnostics, and performance assessment, the firm was established to address a persistent gap in the industry: critical decisions are too often made after failure has occurred-when cost, liability, and operational disruption are already unavoidable. The firm's work is designed to reverse that sequence.

​

AUTHORITY BUILT ON METHODOLY & EVIDENCE

David Revay's professional work is grounded in a disciplined, evidence-based investigative process developed through decades of field experience and applied research. Each engagement evaluates material composition, substrate conditions, environmental exposure, installation variables, workmanship factors, and time-in-service performance to determine not only what occurred, but why it occurred.

This depth of analysis positions Revay Coating Consultants, Inc. (RCCI) as a trusted resource in complex, high-stakes matters where conclusions must withstand technical review, regulatory oversight, and legal scrutiny.

THE REVAY STANDARD OF PREDICTIVE DIAGNOSTICS™

Central to the firm's approach is the Revay Standard of Predictive Diagnostics™, a proprietary methodology refined through decades of forensic investigation. This standard integrates retrospective failure analysis with forward-looking performance assessment to identify latent conditions and emerging risks before failure manifests.

The Revay Standard enables clients to anticipate coating system behavior over time, identify concealed or progressive conditions that compromise performance, reduce exposure to premature failure, remediation, and litigation, and support defensible, evidence-based decision-making.

This methodology transforms coatings evaluation from a reactive response into a proactive strategy for long-term asset protection.

​

BEYOND COATINGS: TOTAL SYSTEM AWARENESS 

While coatings expertise is the firm's foundation, Revay Coating Consultants, Inc. (RCCI) routinely evaluates coatings performance within the broader context of building-envelope systems. The firm recognizes that coatings do not fail in isolation; they fail as part of interconnected systems influenced by moisture intrusion, substrate compatibility, environmental conditions, and construction sequencing. By addressing the complete performance environment, the firm delivers insight that is precise, practical, and aligned with real-world conditions.
