Gafcon has managed over $10B in labor compliance programs for diverse clientele throughout California.
Labor law is a complex and ever-changing landscape. From education to entertainment, affordable housing to public works, your project needs an experienced and knowledgeable labor relations team—one that keeps the pulse of federal, state, and local requirements to help you navigate a constantly evolving field. Using proven and sound methodologies, we commit to delivering results and investing in your success.
A Project Labor Agreement, more commonly referred to as a PLA, is becoming more and more common in Southern California and you need a firm that has the experience to manage your agreement to ensure the successful delivery of your project. Gafcon has managed over $1B of construction projects that are subject to a PLA for both public and private owners, so we understand what it takes to make the agreement and the project a success.
Understanding the ever-changing skilled and trained legislation can be overwhelming, and ensuring compliance can be extremely difficult. Contractors at all tiers are required to have a certain percentage of their journeymen be graduates of state-approved apprenticeship programs. Therefore, it is imperative to closely monitor the prime contractor on your project, as well as their subcontractors. Gafcon has experience designing, implementing, and enforcing skilled and trained programs throughout the state, and we can help you avoid any pitfalls on your upcoming projects.
A key component of any successful construction project is the support and participation from the local businesses and residents. Utilizing local contractors and community residents fosters a socio-economically strong community and a strong local support of the project.
