Regulatory Compliance & Certification Burden
Definition
General contractors face multiple regulatory compliance burdens: licensing (state/local), insurance requirements, safety compliance (OSHA), bonding, prevailing wage compliance (on public projects), union requirements (in some regions), environmental compliance (waste management, pollution prevention), apprenticeship requirements (increasingly mandated on federal projects). Each jurisdiction has different requirements, creating complexity for contractors operating multi-state. For SMBs, compliance documentation, audits, and record-keeping divert resources from productive work. Loss mechanism: (1) compliance staff time = 2-5% of payroll, (2) insurance/bonding costs = 1-3% of revenue, (3) failed audits = lost project eligibility, (4) penalties for non-compliance.
