Cordjia also offers a “Lite”

monitoring program.

to implement cost-savings

available, accommodating,
and responsive. We have
always gotten requests for
additional information in
regards to draws in a timely
manner, allowing the
customer and/or contractor
to provide additional
information with enough
lead time to always get
checks cut within a week
form receipt of all signed
requisitions, which I know
the customer and the
contractors have been very
happy with.”
