About Public Works
Consultant, LLC

At our core, we are a full-service labor compliance company dedicated to ensuring that every contractor, regardless of size, meets all regulatory standards on state, federal, or dual-jurisdiction projects, providing a hassle-free outsourcing experience. 

Our mission is to streamline the compliance process, making it efficient and straightforward, so our clients can focus on their projects with peace of mind, knowing every detail is meticulously handled.

Karissa Scott, Founder and CEO, says: “My journey began about ten years ago when I joined the family construction business as an administrative assistant”. 

Quickly moving up to lead our Labor Compliance department, I realized the complexities of the role and dedicated myself to mastering the details of the DIR website and labor laws. In 2015, I witnessed the shift towards digital monitoring of certified payroll, which brought new challenges and opportunities. This inspired me to launch my own company, focusing on providing comprehensive labor compliance services. 

Over the years, I’ve built a team of dedicated professionals, and together, we’ve become a trusted partner for contractors seeking reliable and efficient compliance solutions.”

I'm really glad I found your company years ago because your services have been perfect for what we need. We haven't had many prevailing wage projects as of late, but when we do have them and I send you our documents, you guys are right on it. I appreciate your help, and I've had a great experience working with you. Thank you!

I just wanted to genuinely thank you. You’ve been a rockstar with our account, and it doesn’t go unnoticed. I know that it’s been a bit challenging with our lack of knowledge and unique processes with PW, but your flexibility has truly been amazing and made things run smoother behind the scenes. Thank you for your efforts and I really look forward to continuing our work together!

Good evening Karissa,
I hope all is well with you and all of those around you. First off, I would like to thank you for all the service your amazing Team provides. We are working with new GCs that are looking to get into Public Work Projects. I have mentioned to them how helpful your service is to helping us transition and avoid costly mistakes, missing paperwork, etc. One of these companies is Rise Development, owner is Kevin Kim, he is a great gentleman. Will it be ok if I provide him your email address or do you have a specific person that you would like to advise he contacts. Again, thank you for all your assistance and have a blessed rest of your week.
