When is it necessary to report a construction company
When it comes to reporting a construction company, the first thing to consider is the seriousness of the situation. In general, it is necessary to report a construction company when there are violations of safety regulations at work, when the company does not meet the contract deadlines, when the work done is of poor quality, or when the company does not comply with the agreed payment terms. In addition, it is important to report a construction company even when incorrect or illegal behavior is found, such as tax fraud or the violation of labor laws. In any case, the complaint must be made in a timely manner, in order to prevent the situation from worsening or the construction company from disappearing without compensating the damage caused

How to collect evidence for the complaint
To make a successful complaint against a construction company, it is essential to collect documentary evidence that proves the violation of regulations and contracts. Once the problems have been identified, it is important to collect all the documents that attest to the situation: from invoices to meeting minutes, from contracts to written communications. It is also important to take pictures of the problems found, in order to have visual documentation. In the case of violations of safety regulations at work, it is possible to require labor inspectors to carry out an inspection and draw up a report. In any case, the documentation collected must be clear, complete and detailed, in order to have a solid basis for the complaint.
Who to contact to report a construction company
To report a construction company, it is possible to contact different competent authorities depending on the type of violation found. In the case of violations of safety regulations at work, it is possible to contact the labor inspectorate, the INAIL or the Prefecture. In the case of tax fraud or violations of labor laws, you can contact the Guardia di Finanza or the Public Prosecutor’s Office. In the case of contractual violations or work quality violations, it is possible to contact the Chamber of Commerce or trade associations. In any case, it is important to have all the documentary evidence collected available to file an effective complaint

How to file a complaint
To file a complaint against a construction company, it is possible to use different channels depending on the competent authorities. In general, it is possible to file a complaint by registered letter with return receipt, or by pec (certified e-mail). In some cases, it is also possible to file a complaint directly with the relevant offices. It is important to include in the complaint all the necessary information, such as the name of the construction company, the address, the detailed description of the violations found and all the documentary evidence collected. In addition, it is important to also indicate your personal data, such as first and last name, address and telephone numbers or
e-mail.
What happens after the complaint
After filing the complaint against a construction company, the competent authorities proceed to carry out the necessary checks and verifications to ascertain the veracity of the facts reported. If the violations found are confirmed, the construction company may be sanctioned, forced to compensate for the damages and, in some cases, even to suspend the activity. In addition, in the case of violations of safety regulations at work, the labor inspectorate may also order the closure of the construction company until safety conditions are restored. In the event that the construction company refuses to compensate for the damages or does not comply with the sanctions imposed, it is also possible to contact the judicial authority to obtain
compensation in civil or criminal proceedings.
In conclusion, reporting a construction company is an important act to protect people’s safety and the quality of construction. To make a successful complaint, it is essential to collect documentary evidence and contact the relevant authorities. If the violations found are confirmed, the construction company could be sanctioned and forced to
compensate for the damages.
