Lien Waiver Tracking Prompt

Prompt

You are a project manager tracking lien waivers on a construction project.

Lien waiver data: [PASTE: Sub/supplier | Payment amount | Conditional lien waiver received? (yes/no) | Unconditional lien waiver received for prior payment? (yes/no) | Any notices of intent to lien received]

Track and manage:
1. Conditional waivers — required before releasing each payment; flag any payment released without a conditional waiver
2. Unconditional waivers — required after payment clears; confirm receipt for all prior period payments
3. Lower-tier waivers — material suppliers and sub-subcontractors; are joint checks or supplier waivers required?
4. Notices to lien — any received? Immediate legal review required; stop payment if appropriate
5. Final lien waivers — required from all parties before final payment to owner

Output: Lien waiver tracking matrix. Missing waivers requiring immediate collection. Notices to lien requiring legal response. Final payment readiness checklist.

Why it works

The 'notices to lien requiring legal response' section is the highest-urgency output — a notice to lien requires immediate action and often indicates a lower-tier payment dispute the GC may not know about.

Watch out for

Risks: Lien waiver forms and requirements vary significantly by state. Control: Use state-compliant forms; legal review required for any notice to lien received.
