Why Choose NCC?
Minimize Your Risk
Wage compliance has become a national enforcement priority, and the construction industry sits squarely in the crosshairs. In fiscal year 2025, the U.S. Department of Labor recovered more than $259 million in back wages for workers nationwide, the highest total since 2019. On federally funded projects, Davis-Bacon rules can hold a general contractor responsible for a subcontractor's underpayments anywhere down the chain. Similarly, a growing number of states are now enacting prevailing wage laws that extend that same up-the-chain liability, with penalties that can escalate all the way to debarment. That's the risk we eliminate. Naylor Construction Consulting provides real-time workforce and certified payroll monitoring at every tier, working closely with you from start to finish so every contractor on your project meets its prevailing wage and Davis-Bacon requirements before violations ever reach you.
Enforcement Is Rising Nationwide and It Reaches Every General Contractor
Between 2021 and 2025, the Department of Labor recovered roughly $180 million in back wages from construction employers alone, across more than 11,000 enforcement actions, with the construction industry remaining one of its most consistently cited high-violation industries. As enforcement intensifies nationwide, the consequences for contractors are showing up state by state. Washington State is a clear example: as the chart below shows, debarments there have climbed sharply since 2020 to an all-time high. It's the local face of a national enforcement wave that's building in public works markets across the country. When that wave reaches your project, the difference between a clean job and a debarment is whether someone is watching your every tier. That's what we at NCC do.

Prompt Time To Close
Closeout shouldn't drag on for months after the work is done. With concurrent compliance reviews, NCC catches errors and chases down missing records while subcontractors are still on-site, not after they've scattered and stopped answering the phone. We reconcile certified payroll, resolve discrepancies, and confirm every tier is squared away in real time, so the paperwork is ready when the project is. The result is a faster closeout, a faster path to getting paid, and a quicker move to your next job on public works projects nationwide.
