LHC provides administrative and accounting support for construction businesses, including job costing, billing, subcontractor documentation, lien waivers, W-9s, COIs, certified payroll documentation, and related processes.

​

LHC may identify missing information, inconsistencies, or potential administrative issues. However, identifying an issue is not the same as providing legal or regulatory advice.

​

7. PAYROLL AND HR SUPPORT

LHC may provide administrative assistance relating to payroll, employee onboarding, employee files, insurance enrollment, and general HR administration.

​

Clients remain responsible for maintaining appropriate passwords, user permissions, and security practices.

 

13. FEES AND PAYMENT

LHC is not responsible for missed deadlines caused by late, incomplete, inaccurate, or missing client information.

 

19. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION

Clients should avoid sending highly sensitive information through unsecured communication methods unless specifically instructed by LHC.

​

20. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
