Jim,
Looks very good. The ledger board is textbook. Did your contractor say anything about using the lag bolts? or was that his plan all along?
I noticed that they built up the concrete around your posts. That's another issue that I have that doesn't get done like it should. Get the water away from those posts as quicly as possible. Nicely done.
Your brackets are new to me. Are they Simpson? I just use the ones they sell at McCoys for 6x6 posts. They are shorter, only go on one side of the beam, and look different in design. I buy two for each side of the beam to make them secure, and then paint them whatever color the client wants them.
