Lien waiver tracking without the shoebox
A lien waiver is a sub or supplier's signed statement that they've been paid a certain amount, through a certain date, and give up their lien rights for that much. Owners and lenders want one for every payment you make down the line. A missing one leaves lien rights open on work you've already paid for.
Most GCs track waivers in a spreadsheet, an inbox and a folder of scans. Construction Company Software ties each waiver to the bill or sub pay app it covers. You request it, the sub signs online from their phone, the PDF is filed under the job, and the bill can't be marked paid until the waiver is in, unless you override it and give a reason.
Lien waivers are part of the money tools on the Whole Job and Whole Company plans. Every 14-day free trial includes them.
How it works
From bill to signed waiver
Require it once
Tick “Require lien waiver” on a PO or subcontract. Every bill and sub pay app against it then needs a signed waiver before you pay.
Request the waiver
Pick conditional or unconditional, progress or final. The amount and through date fill in from the bill. The sub gets a text or email with a link.
The sub signs online
They read the waiver, type their name, tick “I agree” and can attach their own form. No account, no app. A signed PDF is filed under the job.
Review, then pay
Approve the waiver, or reject it with a reason and the link goes back to the sub. Paying without a waiver asks for a reason, and that reason stays on the record.
One job, one app
Waivers live inside the money
Change one thing and the rest keeps up. That's the difference between one app and four.
Bills and payments
A bill that needs a waiver can't be marked paid until one is signed. Paid bills still missing an unconditional waiver show on the waiver tracking report.
Construction job costingSub pay apps
Approving a sub's pay app creates the bill and, when the subcontract requires it, a conditional waiver request for that period's amount.
AIA-style pay applicationsSubs
Subs sign from the same kind of no-login link they use for bids and pay apps. They never pay and never take a seat.
Subcontractor managementYour records
Every request, signature, rejection and override is in the job's history with the time, and the signer's IP address is printed on the PDF.

Who it's for
Built for builders, not enterprises.
GCs paying subs from draws
Lenders and owners ask for a waiver from every sub with each draw. Have them before the draw meeting, not after.
Custom home builders
Dozens of subs and suppliers per house. The tracking report shows who still owes a waiver, job by job.
Remodelers taking bigger jobs
Start collecting waivers the first time an owner or lender asks, without buying a separate tool for it.
What it replaces
Stop chasing waivers through email threads and a spreadsheet you update on Fridays.

The waiver spreadsheet
Conditional and unconditional status per bill comes from the waivers themselves, so it's never out of date.
Paper and scanned forms
Subs sign on their phone. Paper waivers you already have can be uploaded and counted as received.
A waivers-only app
A tool that only does waivers doesn't know your bills. Here the waiver and the payment are on the same record.
Straight answers
What it doesn't do (yet)
- It doesn't fill in your state's statutory waiver form. The generated waiver is a plain-English conditional or unconditional release. Where your state requires its own form, the sub can attach it when they sign, or you can upload it.
- It doesn't notarize. Signatures are typed e-signatures with the time and IP address recorded.
- It collects waivers from your subs and suppliers. It doesn't yet produce the waivers you give your own owner or lender.
- It doesn't send preliminary notices or file liens.
- Nothing here is legal advice. Lien law differs by state, so check the requirements with your attorney or your state's statutes.
Questions
Common questions.
What is a lien waiver?
A signed document from a sub or supplier saying they've been paid a certain amount, through a certain date, and giving up their lien rights for that amount. GCs collect them with each payment so the owner's property isn't exposed to a lien for work that has already been paid for.
What's the difference between a conditional and an unconditional lien waiver?
A conditional waiver only takes effect once the payment actually clears. An unconditional waiver takes effect when it's signed, whether or not the money arrived. A common pattern is a conditional waiver before you pay and an unconditional one after the payment clears. Construction Company Software handles both.
What are the four types of lien waivers?
Conditional on progress payment, unconditional on progress payment, conditional on final payment, and unconditional on final payment. You pick the type and payment when you request the waiver.
Do lien waivers need to be notarized?
It depends on your state, your contract and sometimes your lender. Construction Company Software records a typed e-signature with the time and IP address and doesn't notarize. If a notarized or statutory form is required, have the sub attach it when they sign, and check the rules with your attorney.
Does it use my state's statutory lien waiver form?
No. It generates a plain-English waiver and lets the sub attach your state's form, or you upload one you already have. Some states require exact wording, so check yours before relying on the generated waiver. This isn't legal advice.
Can I hold a sub's payment until the waiver is signed?
Yes. Require a waiver on the PO or subcontract, or on a single bill. The bill can't be marked paid until a waiver is signed. If you need to pay anyway, you give a reason, and it's kept on the bill and in the job's history.
Do my subs need an account to sign?
No. They sign from a private link sent by text or email. Subs never pay and never take a seat on your plan.
Which plan includes lien waivers?
The Whole Job and Whole Company plans, with the rest of the money tools. The 14-day free trial includes everything.
