Construction Lien Waiver
Upon Progress Payment

As homeowner you can prepare your own construction lien waiver if the contractor does not supply it.

The homeowner must keep track of all suppliers, workers and subcontractors involved in his construction project who may have a claim against his property.

In some states, any such third parties must provide you with a Preliminary Notice, without which they forfeit the right to file a lien against your property. This is simply a notice stating that there are monies due and if not paid, then they will have a right to file a claim.

For more information on how the homeowner can protect himself, please refer to our Lien Waiver page.

The construction lien waiver form supplied here is for progress payments made during the construction. A separate Lien Waiver upon Final Payment must be completed at the end of the project.
