  • For contractors and subcontractors who are focused on doing the work. We take the burden off your plate and manage:

    • Certified Payroll Records (CPR/eCPR) preparation and/or submission

    • DIR apprenticeship dispatch and reporting requirements

    • Documentation for Subcontractors

    • Ongoing Guidance to ensure your files are audit ready

    • Regular audits of payroll and apprenticeship compliance

    • Comprehensive document review (Certified Payroll Records, apprenticeship forms and submissions, etc.)

    • Workforce interviews and site visits to confirm real-world alignment with reports

    • Clear recommendations to fix issues before they escalate

What we don’t do (For now)

Please note that our services focus exclusively on California DIR Public Works projects.

We do not currently work on:

  • Davis-Bacon Act (projects with ANY Federal funding)

  • Solar projects with unique compliance rules

(We’re continually expanding, so check back for updates.)

We provide straightforward, effective compliance services tailored to your projects - so you can focus on building, not paperwork.

Whether you’re new to prevailing wage requirements or want a second set of eyes on established practices Common Good Consulting provides straightforward, reliable support to keep your projects on track.

Don’t wait for a DIR audit to find out you have compliance issues!
