Legal Docs

Lien waivers, change orders, contracts, punch lists — for contractors

Contractors, subs and GC office managers: these five tools handle the paperwork side of a job without cutting into your billable hours. All generators produce clean PDFs suitable for AIA-style workflows, banker draw requests and job-closeout packages.

- Lien Waiver Generator — the four statutory waiver types (Conditional Progress, Unconditional Progress, Conditional Final, Unconditional Final) with statutory-form support for 12 states that mandate specific language: California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Nevada, Georgia, Missouri, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Massachusetts and Washington. Other states get an industry-standard, lender-accepted form. This is the single most common piece of construction paperwork — get it right, get paid. - Change Order — formal scope-change document with cost impact (added / deducted), schedule impact (calendar days), change description and signature blocks for Owner, Contractor and Architect. Numbered sequentially, ready to attach to a pay application. - Construction Contract — full construction agreement with scope of work, pricing (lump sum / cost plus / time and material), payment milestones, warranty period, change-order process, insurance requirements and dispute-resolution clauses. - Punch List — closeout punch list with priority (High / Medium / Low), status tracking (Open / In Progress / Complete / Rejected), room/location, trade responsible and completion percentage summary. - Bill of Lading — when a job ships material or equipment off-site: Straight or Order BOL with freight description, NMFC class, hazmat indicators and Carmack Amendment notice. See our Logistics section for the full shipping-document set (BOL, Packing Slip).

All generators are free, unlimited, watermark-free. Output PDFs are deleted from our servers 30 minutes after generation. Built by people who've actually had to chase a lien waiver signature on a Friday afternoon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our legal docs

Conditional = "I waive my lien rights ONLY once payment actually clears." Unconditional = "I waive regardless of whether payment cleared." Progress = for a progress payment during the job. Final = for the final payment. Most GCs and lenders demand Conditional Progress waivers with each draw, and an Unconditional Final at closeout. Sub-contractors should always push back if asked for an Unconditional Progress — it waives rights you haven't been paid for yet.

Yes for the 12 states we currently support by statute (CA, AZ, TX, FL, NV, GA, MO, UT, WY, MT, MA, WA). For the states with full verbatim templates we embed the mandated language exactly; the remainder use a carefully drafted, industry-standard, lender-accepted form while we continue rolling out verbatim statutory text. For all other states we generate a widely accepted waiver form that lenders and title companies routinely accept.

The Change Order template is built for private and state/local public works. For federal contracts governed by the FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation), you typically need Contracting Officer-specific formats (SF-30 modification form). Use our generator to draft the narrative and cost impact, then copy into the SF-30.

Our Construction Contract includes the essential elements you'd find in AIA A101 (scope, price, schedule, payment, warranty, termination), but it is our own language — not AIA's proprietary forms. For lender-required AIA forms specifically, you'll need to license those directly from the American Institute of Architects. Ours is a cost-free alternative that's widely usable.

The generator produces a PDF snapshot. For iterative updates (reopen, re-close, track across days), convert the PDF to Excel with our PDF to Excel converter and manage it in a spreadsheet. Then re-generate a fresh PDF for the next walkthrough.

Yes — use them on as many jobs as you want, for any client, with no licensing fee and no watermark. We make no claim to the generated documents; they are yours.
