HUD Loans and prevailing wages
Hi BP,
Has anyone looked at how much on a percentage adjustment of construction costs adding prevailing impacts costs?
We are thinking about going the HUD financing route for our construction debt, but I've been trying to fully understand the cost implications of using HID. One of which is we will have to ensure we are using prevailing wages on the construction side.
Thank you!
General is required to abide by Davis- Bacon and Cranston-Gonzalez Acts. Contractor provides reports and shows the payroll. HUD checks every bill. In today's construction market I could not find ANYONE who does a trade to work cheap. Your contractor files weekly reports. It is vital the general contractor has experience doing this major accounting endeavor.
