Construction Fraud

With the improvement of cities, towns, and infrastructure, the Government often turns to contractors to perform the work. In an attempt to commit fraud, some contractors may try to collect additional money by defrauding the Government in the following ways:

• Overestimating costs of building materials and/or supplies;
• Overestimating time spent on a project;
• Bid-rigging or collusive rigging to get the government contract(s);
• Double billing;
• Billing for work not performed;
• Use of second-rate parts or materials;
• Bribes;
• Kickbacks.

Without the information provided by whistleblowers filing a qui tam claim under the federal and state false claims act, construction fraud would go undetected by the government.
