Lien waivers are one of the most important documents in construction and one of the most mismanaged. For general contractors running multiple jobs, managing dozens of subcontractors, and processing payments on tight schedules, the waiver process has always been a weak link. Documents get lost in email threads. Subcontractors forget to sign. Office managers spend hours chasing signatures before a payment can go out. Project closeouts get delayed because one waiver is missing. And when something goes wrong, the consequences are not just inconvenient. They are expensive.
Waivr was built to fix this. Not as a feature inside a bloated project management platform. Not as an afterthought in a construction ERP that costs thousands of dollars a month. As a purpose-built, dedicated lien waiver management platform designed from the ground up for the way general contractors actually work.
We built Waivr because the problem deserved a real solution. The construction industry moves billions of dollars every year and the documentation that protects those payments is still being managed with paper forms, email attachments, and Excel spreadsheets. That is not a workflow problem. That is a liability problem. Every unsigned waiver is an open door for a mechanic's lien. Every missing document at project closeout is a potential dispute. Every manual process is an opportunity for something to fall through the cracks. Waivr closes those doors.
WAIVER GENERATION
Waivr generates state-specific lien waiver documents automatically based on your project location. We cover all 12 statutory states that mandate specific waiver forms: Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming. In statutory states, using the wrong form can render a waiver legally unenforceable even if it is signed by both parties. Waivr eliminates that risk by generating the correct statutory form every time based on the state you select when setting up a project.
We support all four waiver types. Conditional progress waivers are used for partial payments and only take effect once payment is confirmed received. Unconditional progress waivers cover partial payments and take effect immediately upon signing. Conditional final waivers release all remaining lien rights once final payment is received. Unconditional final waivers release all remaining lien rights immediately upon signing. Waivr lets you select the appropriate waiver type for every situation so you always have the right document for the right payment.
For disputed or partial payments, Waivr allows you to generate a waiver for any specific dollar amount giving you full control over exactly what lien rights are being released with each payment.
ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE COLLECTION
Once a waiver is generated, Waivr sends a secure tokenized signing link directly to your subcontractor via email. Your subcontractor does not need to create an account. They do not need to download any software. They do not need a printer, a scanner, or a fax machine. They receive an email, click the link, review the waiver document in their browser, and sign electronically in under a minute from any device including their phone on the job site.
Every electronic signature collected through Waivr is designed to comply with the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Each signature is time-stamped and captures the signer's IP address creating a documented audit trail for every signed document.
The signing experience is intentionally simple. A framing sub on a job site in Texas does not have time to navigate a complex portal. They get an email, they tap the link, they sign, they are done. That simplicity is not an accident. It is the core of why Waivr works where other solutions fail.
COMPLIANCE DASHBOARD AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Every waiver you generate in Waivr is tracked in real time on your compliance dashboard. From a single view you can see every project, every subcontractor on each project, and the current status of every waiver. Statuses update automatically as documents move through the process. Sent means the signing link has been delivered. Viewed means the subcontractor has opened the document. Signed means the waiver has been executed. Pending means action is still required.
Projects in Waivr are organized exactly the way your business works. Each project has a name, a state, a property address, and an owner. Under each project you add the subcontractors working on that job with their company name, contact name, email address, and trade. Waivers are generated and tracked at the project level so everything is organized and nothing gets mixed up between jobs.
AUTOMATED REMINDERS
Waivr sends automated follow-up reminders to subcontractors who have not yet signed their waiver. No more manual reminder emails. No more tracking who you have and have not followed up with. Waivr does the chasing so you do not have to.
DOCUMENT STORAGE AND AUDIT TRAIL
Every signed waiver in Waivr is stored securely in your account and accessible at any time. You can download a completed signed PDF directly from your dashboard whenever you need it. For project closeout, title company requests, legal documentation, or your own records, every document is right where you need it.
The audit trail built into every signed document includes the signer's name, the date and time of signing, and the IP address from which the document was signed. This creates a legally defensible record for every waiver in your system. Documents are retained for up to seven years following account termination.
TEAM AND ORGANIZATION MANAGEMENT
Waivr is built for teams. Every Waivr account is organized at the company level meaning one subscription covers your entire organization. You can add team members with role-based access controls. Owners have full administrative access. Admins can manage projects, subcontractors, and waivers. Members have access to the features they need without exposure to sensitive account information.
For general contracting firms with multiple offices or high-volume operations, the Enterprise plan includes dedicated account management, custom integrations, and API access for teams that need to connect Waivr to their existing technology stack.
SECURITY AND DATA PROTECTION
All data transmitted through Waivr is encrypted over HTTPS using SSL/TLS encryption. Your database is hosted on Neon PostgreSQL with encryption at rest. Payment processing is handled exclusively by Stripe which maintains PCI DSS compliance and never exposes raw card data to Waivr systems. Authentication is managed through secure JWT tokens. Subcontractor signing links are unique tokenized URLs that cannot be guessed or reused.
