We Understand the Synergies of Labor Compliance and Project Success
At the core of our company values is a commitment to empower our clients with the knowledge and tools needed to succeed in the public works sector. We believe that contractors and awarding agencies play interconnected roles in shaping compliant, high-quality projects.
Our mission is to educate contractors, helping them enhance their performance on current and future projects, which ultimately simplifies compliance management for awarding agencies.

Dependable Expertise and Commitment
Next Level is committed to working with you, no matter your project goals. We believe you should never release a bid based on a compliance requirement, and ensure you understand every option that could affect your progress forward.
We Approach Labor Compliance Differently
Next Level operates with a focus on education and collaboration, rather than seeking recognition for enforcement actions.
We believe in fostering a culture of compliance by working closely with your agency or firm to help you understand high-level regulations and your responsibilities within the public works framework.
While others may highlight the number of violations identified or funds recovered, our goal is to prevent these issues from arising in the first place.
By taking a proactive approach, we aim to create a cohesive environment where compliance is achieved through knowledge and partnership, minimizing the need for reactive enforcement.
Taking a Proactive Approach to Labor Relations
Navigating California's and other states’ labor compliance codes can be a complex and time-consuming process. Our expertise helps prevent costly delays, fines, and rework by addressing compliance issues early and accurately.
Don’t wait until a reactive solution is needed for a simple oversight—ensure experienced compliance monitoring is built into your project from day one.
