Our course of construction progress reports include recommendations that address a general contractor's application for payment for a commercial construction project. A thorough field inspection of the project is conducted by LQA, based on the description of work, percentage requested and the schedule of values as submitted in the pay application. LQA confirms the percentage of completion for each line item for which payment is requested, as well as the overall project completion percentage, and provides a digital photographic record.
