The work that dominates
- post-wildfire home rebuilds
- subway extension tunnelling
- convention and Olympic venue works
Where Los Angeles projects tend to lose money
Claimed, certified, received and outstanding, per site.
California gives owners 30 days to pay undisputed progress payments and imposes a 2 percent monthly penalty only when a payment is wrongfully withheld.
How it worksThe daily report writes itself, the same evening.
The convention centre expansion has a fixed 2028 Olympic deadline, so daily progress against programme matters.
How it worksBudget, committed and actual, per site, every day.
Tunnelling on the D Line and a fixed-date USD 2.62 billion venue project leave little room for budget drift.
How it worksFigures in the screens above are sample data.
