01 · Construction · Sub Compliance

Close the sub compliance loop.

The checklist already exists. The portal is the bottleneck. Remove the login wall and payment moves — no account for your subs, no chasing for your team.

The problem

Three gates clear before payment. One login wall stalls all three.

Before you release payment or clear retainage, every subcontractor has to clear the same sequence. The documents aren't the hard part — collecting them through a portal your subs won't log into is.

A lien waiver uncollected for two weeks is a cash-flow problem, not a paperwork problem.

The sub gets a text, not a login.

Subs are on job sites, not at desks. So the request goes to the channel they already use. One reply, one link, no account. The document is validated, the gate clears, and the audit trail is complete — before it becomes a lien or a retainage hold.

Step 1 · Request

Ask by text

A text or email goes to the sub on the channel they already use. No portal, no new account.

Step 2 · Collect

They reply once

The COI, lien waiver, or W-9 comes back from their phone — one reply, one link.

Step 3 · Clear

Validated & logged

The document is checked, the gate clears, and compliance status flows into Procore or your accounting system.
