Ensuring Davis-Bacon & Prevailing Wage Compliance with Confidence

Navigating the complexity of federal wage mandates should never slow your project. Our compliance expertise keeps your construction projects on track—and audit-ready.

We partner with prime contractors, government agencies, and housing authorities to embed rigorous wage compliance processes, reduce risk, and let your teams focus on execution—not paperwork.

OUR APPROACH

Systems-Driven Compliance

Integrated Project Oversight

From pre-award through final endorsement, we oversee compliance and issue resolution throughout the entire project.

Data Integrity & Audit Defensibility

From day one, our work is defensible under scrutiny and compliance data is maintained and stored with encryption and secure authentication mechanisms.

Continuous Monitoring & Early Detection

Our approach is designed to stay ahead of DOL rule changes and detect and enforce non-compliance within the project early.

Single Point of Accountability

We become a single point of contact and accountability for all contractor reporting submissions and HUD/DOL communications.

  • Certified Payroll Review
  • Wage Determinations & Classifications
  • HUD 2328 Cost Breakfown Analysis
  • LCPtracker & Elation Systems Admin
  • On-Site Field Interviews
  • Staff Training & Consultation

We perform comprehensive, line-by-line audits of subcontractor certified payroll reports (CPRs) to ensure every submission aligns with wage determinations, classifications, and hours worked.

Why it matters
Proactive review prevents costly back-wage findings, disbarment exposure, and agency rejections while maintaining real-time project eligibility.

We perform split wage determination risk assessments, and review federal and state wage determinations to ensure proper craft assignment and wage rate usage. As needed, we conduct appeals and when unique roles arise, we manage additional classification requests.

Why it matters
Prevents misclassifications that lead to back-pay liabilities and ensures proper wage application across mixed-funding projects.

We analyze and verify the wage classifications within your HUD Form 2328 before closing to confirm consistency between cost estimates, construction activities, and Davis-Bacon wage determinations.

Why it matters
Early identification of split classifications or under-scoped wage categories prevents post-closing wage reclassifications that can trigger unbudgeted cost increases. Our process ensures cost certification remains accurate and defensible from day one.

We manage certified payroll workflows directly within your chosen compliance database—verifying, approving, and resolving discrepancies on your behalf.

Why it matters
Streamlines data management across subcontractors, reduces administrative load, and maintains real-time compliance visibility.

Our specialists conduct confidential worker interviews to confirm payroll accuracy and identify any discrepancies between reported and actual work conditions.

Why it matters
Early detection of noncompliance avoids escalations, complaints, or findings later in the project.

We offer tailored training sessions and advisory workshops for developers, general contractors, and project managers—covering Davis-Bacon compliance, payroll accuracy, and record-keeping best practices.

Why it matters
Empowers your internal staff to recognize risks, interpret wage determinations, and implement compliance processes effectively—reducing long-term dependence on external consultants and strengthening institutional compliance culture.

1. Pre-Award Planning

We begin by reviewing wage determinations, bid language, and HUD Form 2328 classifications to prevent costly wage errors before contracts are finalized.

Outcome: A compliance-ready cost structure that aligns with HUD and DOL standards.

2. Construction Oversight

Throughout construction, we manage certified payrolls, conduct on-site interviews, and track utilization metrics using cloud-based tools like LCPtracker and Elation.

Outcome: Real-time visibility into compliance status and early detection of potential findings.

3. Monitoring & Reporting

We maintain continuous communication with agencies, prepare all required submissions, and reconcile wage data across funding sources.

Outcome: Clean, consistent, and auditable records for every contractor and subcontractor.

4. Audit-Ready Close-out

At project completion, we conduct a final reconciliation and compliance audit, ensuring all documentation is verified and defensible for HUD or DOL review.

Outcome: A complete, compliant, and ready-for-review project file with zero outstanding liabilities.

By integrating every compliance milestone into a structured lifecycle, we give project teams more than oversight—we give them clarity and control.

Our approach transforms the complexity of Davis-Bacon compliance into a predictable, streamlined process where every requirement is anticipated and every submission stands up to scrutiny. The result is fewer surprises, faster approvals, and stronger trust between owners, contractors, lenders, and agencies.
