Lien waiver software built into your job costs
Lien waivers protect the money: the bank won't fund a draw without them, and a missing waiver from one sub can hold up the whole package. NeatBuild generates waivers from the bills you already track and gets them signed without printing anything.
Waivers generated from real bills
Pick the bills a sub is being paid for and NeatBuild drafts the waiver with the amounts, invoice numbers, and through-date filled in. No retyping, no wrong amounts, no waiver that doesn't match the draw.
- Conditional progress, unconditional progress, conditional final, unconditional final
- Through-date auto-filled from the latest bill in the waiver
- One-page signed PDF, compact enough for lender review
Signed on a phone, filed in the draw
Email or text the sub a signing link. They see the waiver, sign with their finger, and the executed copy files itself under the right line item in your draw package. You can see at a glance which waivers are still outstanding before you submit.
Conditional vs unconditional, in one sentence
A conditional waiver takes effect only when the payment clears — safe to sign before money moves. An unconditional waiver is effective immediately — only sign it after you've been paid. NeatBuild supports both so you can match whatever your lender or GC requires.
Frequently asked
When should a sub sign a conditional vs unconditional waiver?
Conditional before payment (it only takes effect when payment clears), unconditional after payment has actually been received. Most draw packages use conditional progress waivers.
Are electronic lien waiver signatures valid?
Electronic signatures are broadly recognized under the U.S. E-SIGN Act and state equivalents. Requirements vary by state — some states also prescribe statutory waiver forms — so confirm your state's rules with your attorney or lender.
Can I track which waivers are missing before a draw?
Yes — each draw shows waiver status per line, so you chase the one missing signature instead of discovering it at the bank.
