Lien waivers by Constructable
Construction lien waiver software that gets every waiver signed with the pay app
Our construction lien waiver software sends conditional and unconditional, progress and final waivers on your own forms, filled in from the invoice and e-signed by your subs. No retyping amounts and no separate e-signature account. Lien waivers come with invoicing, and we do flat pricing with unlimited users.
Lien waiver templates
Your state's waiver form, filled in from the invoice
Upload the waiver your state, lender, or owner asks for as a PDF template. Place the signature and date fields, then add merge fields where the form needs the job's details. Every waiver you send from an invoice comes out on that form with the blanks filled in.
• Who and where: Claimant Name and Address, Customer Name, Owner, and Job Location
• The money: Payment Amount is the invoice's amount due, this period's billing less retainage held plus retainage released
• Check details: Through Date, Maker of Check, and Check Payable To
• Before it goes out: a template with no signature field shows a warning and can't be sent for signature
Subcontractors
Subs sign the waiver from the invoice, even on their phone
Send the waiver to the sub's signer from the invoice, and copy anyone else who needs it. A sub preparing their own invoice can create the waiver and sign it right there, before they submit.
• Picking the signer: choose from the subcontractor's contacts on the Project Team
• No seat to buy: every plan includes unlimited users, so subs sign at no cost to you
• Signed on paper: upload the signed waiver instead
• On the jobsite: subs can create and sign in the Constructable app for iPhone, iPad, and Android
All four waiver types
See which waivers are signed and which are still out
Each invoice has a Lien Waivers block with a Conditional Waiver section and an Unconditional Waiver section. Pick Progress Payment or Final Payment when you create one, and Constructable uses the form for that waiver type.
• Its own status: each waiver moves from Draft to Out for Signing to Fully Executed
• Separate from the invoice: approving or paying the invoice doesn't complete the waiver, so an unsigned waiver stays visible
• The signed copy: download the fully executed PDF from the invoice
The pay app package
Hand the owner or lender the pay apps with their waivers
When the draw goes out, download the pay applications with the lien waivers and backup on file. From the owner invoice, download every subcontractor's pay app for that billing period in one step.
• One period: Download All Subcontractor Pay Applications on the owner invoice, with Include all lien waivers and Include all attachments
• Several periods: Download Pay Applications on the Subcontractors tab lets you pick the billing periods
• Only what they need: both options start ticked, so untick what this reader shouldn't get
Defaults
Set the right form for each waiver type once
In Organization Settings, choose a template or the built-in form for each of the four waiver types. Every invoice on every project uses those choices, unless a project needs something different.
• A job with its own form: override any waiver type in that project's Financial Settings
• New jobs: a project created from a template project keeps its lien waiver choices
• Types you never use: mark them Not used, and they drop out of the choices on every invoice
• Changing a form: edits apply to new waivers, and a waiver already sent keeps the document it went out with
Waivers on your own billing, too
Owner invoices
Create the waiver on the owner invoice, signed by someone in your organization. Only your organization sees that invoice's Lien Waivers block.
Blank forms on demand
Download a blank waiver of any of the four types, filled in from the invoice, to print or send outside Constructable.
E-signing built in
Waivers go out for signature from Constructable, so you don't need a separate e-signature account.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is lien waiver software, and why would a general contractor use it?
Lien waiver software collects the waivers your subcontractors sign when you pay them, and the ones you sign when the owner pays you. A missing or wrong waiver can hold up a draw or leave the owner exposed to a lien. In Constructable, each waiver lives on the invoice it covers, so the amount, the through date, and the signature match the pay app, and you don't chase PDFs over email.
Which lien waiver types does Constructable support?
All four: conditional progress, unconditional progress, conditional final, and unconditional final. Each invoice's Lien Waivers block has a Conditional Waiver section and an Unconditional Waiver section, and the billing type you pick, Progress Payment or Final Payment, decides which of the four you're creating.
Can I use my state's statutory form or my lender's form?
Yes. Upload the form as a PDF template, place the signature and date fields, and add merge fields such as Claimant Name, Through Date, and Payment Amount. Constructable fills them in from the invoice each time it creates a waiver. Constructable doesn't decide which form your state or lender requires, so check that with your attorney. See Set up lien waiver templates in the Help Center.
How do subcontractors sign, and do they pay for a seat?
Send the waiver to a signer from the subcontractor's contacts on the Project Team, and they sign it from the invoice. A subcontractor preparing their own invoice can create the waiver and sign it themselves. Every plan includes unlimited users, so subcontractors don't add to your price. See our pricing page.
Do I need DocuSign?
No. E-signing is built in. Constructable sends the waiver, the signer signs it, and the fully executed PDF downloads from the invoice. You don't need a separate e-signature account.
Can I send waivers to the owner or lender with the pay app?
Yes. When you download a payment application, you can include the lien waivers on file with its backup. To download every subcontractor's pay app for a billing period at once, open Download All Subcontractor Pay Applications from the owner invoice, where Include all lien waivers starts ticked. See our construction pay application software.
What if a sub already signed a waiver on paper?
Select Upload Lien Waiver in the waiver section, pick the billing type, and attach the signed file. It sits on the invoice with the rest of the billing.
Can I collect waivers on owner invoices too?
Yes. Select Create Lien Waiver on the owner invoice, and someone in your organization signs it. On an owner invoice, the Lien Waivers block is visible only to people in your organization. You can also download a blank waiver of any type, filled in from the invoice, to print or send outside Constructable.
Which plan includes lien waivers?
Lien waivers come with invoicing on the Field, Project, and Financial Management plan. Turn on Lien Waivers in Financial Settings, and Lien Waiver Templates shows up in Organization Settings. Every plan is a flat monthly rate with unlimited users. View our pricing page for more details.
