Davis-Bacon Compliance System

  • We speak certified payroll so you don’t have to. Whether you’re a GC managing subs or a sub trying to keep up with requirements, we break down exactly what’s needed — and make sure you’re covered.
  • From wage determinations to fringe benefits, we’ve got the details handled. 20 years of Davis-Bacon experience means fewer surprises, faster audits, and contractors who sleep better at night.

Team Training & Education

Your crew builds the project.  We build you team’s compliance knowledge.

Davis-Bacon requirements don’t stop at the payroll office — foremen, project managers, and office staff all play a role in staying compliant. We offer hands-on training that cuts through the federal regulation jargon and gives your team the practical knowledge they need: how to read a wage determination, what counts toward fringe benefits, how to spot a certified payroll error before it becomes a violation, and what to expect during a DOL audit.

No all-day seminars. No stacks of handouts nobody reads. Just clear, targeted instruction built around how your company actually operates.

Compliance Auditing & Risk

Catch problems before the Department of Labor does.

A Davis-Bacon audit doesn’t have to be a crisis — if you’re prepared. We review your certified payrolls, wage determinations, fringe benefit documentation, and subcontractor compliance records to find the gaps before they find you. Whether you’re heading into a new federal project, responding to a complaint, or just haven’t had a fresh set of eyes on your records in a while, a proactive compliance review is far less expensive than a back-wage assessment or debarment proceeding.

We tell you exactly what’s off, why it matters, and how to fix it — in plain language your team can act on.
