The check is ready. The waiver is somewhere in email.
This is what construction accountants and small GCs keep describing. The waiver step lives in inboxes, folders and spreadsheets, so payments go out before the paperwork is done.
Keep the flags. Lose the stacks.
Plenty of offices run the pay run on clipped stacks and colored flags that mark what is still missing. WaiverGate puts those flags on one board, so nobody cuts a check while a waiver is still out.
One payment, from pay app to final waiver
Follow a single framing payment through WaiverGate. Your accounting software still cuts the check; WaiverGate makes sure the waiver comes first.
- Nov 1
Request
Tom's pay app comes in. WaiverGate emails him a conditional progress waiver link with the amount and through date filled in.
- Nov 8
Reminders
No signature yet, so WaiverGate sends reminders and keeps the payment on hold.
- Nov 12
Check and approve
Tom uploads the signed PDF. Amount, through date and project are checked against the pay app before anyone approves it.
- Nov 15
Pay, then unconditional
Your AP team pays as usual. WaiverGate requests the unconditional waiver and files both in the project packet.
What the first version will do
- Projects, a sub and vendor directory, and waiver request templates by project and pay period
- Waiver requests by email link with PDF upload, with e-sign as a pluggable option
- A status board for requested, received, rejected and approved, with automatic reminders
- Amount and retainage fields with visible math checks against the pay app
- A payment-hold state your AP team checks before cutting a check, plus an audit timeline
- Downloadable waiver packets per project, CSV import and export, and role-based access
What it will not do
- Replace Procore, Textura or your accounting software. It sits next to them.
- Hold, move or release anyone's money. Your AP team pays the way it does today.
- Give legal advice or research lien rights. State-specific waiver text is yours, labeled as a template.
- Charge a percentage of your contract value. One flat monthly price.

Who is building this
I'm Emad, a software developer who builds small tools for niche businesses. I kept reading construction accountants and small GCs describe the same routine: waiver PDFs by email, a spreadsheet tab per project, and checks that go out before the signed waiver comes back. Before I build WaiverGate, I want to hear from people who actually run pay apps. If this would help you, join the list or tell me what I am missing. I have never run a construction job, so your input shapes what gets built.
