Subcontractors and Suppliers Take Control Of Lien Rights With New Lien Waiver Module From zlien

NEW ORLEANS - Nov. 14, 2013 - PRLog -- NEW ORLEANS, LA -- zlien, the nation’s leading platform for mechanics lien and bond claim compliance, today announces the release of a lien waiver management module enabling companies to generate, store, and electronically transmit construction lien waivers in all 50 states.

“Generating a fair construction lien waiver is a critical moment for subcontractors and suppliers during a project,” says Scott Wolfe, zlien’s CEO. “We built this module aiming to not only relieve companies of this administrative task, but to utilize lien waiver forms with high legal integrity to protect subcontractors and suppliers against payment abuses.”

zlien’s construction lien waiver module enables companies to generate an unlimited number of waivers for any project. Users have control over a waiver’s content, and the platform keeps track of all waivers created and sent for a project.

Other features of the construction lien waiver manager include:

Electronically sign lien waivers to avoid generating, printing, and scanning steps

Email lien waivers to other parties directly within the interface

Attorney drafted explanations for every lien waiver to help users understand implications of the forms

Conditional Final, Conditional Progress, Unconditional Final, and Unconditional Progress waivers available in every state

Includes statutory forms mandated in 11 States

Mechanics lien and bond claim deadlines calculated using Lien Waiver data

Using the lien waiver module is completely free.

“Subcontractors and suppliers are too often on the losing end of payment flow abuses and financial risk shifting contract measures,” continues Wolfe. “zlien empowers these companies to control the lien process from start to finish, and lien waiver management is a critical piece to that mission.”

To support the launch of its construction lien waiver module zlien published a tutorial online video demonstrating how to use the feature. You can watch that video here: http://vimeo.com/zlien/lien-waivers



zlien also published multiple lien waiver resources including free downloadable lien waiver forms, color coded maps outlining the lien waiver rules and restrictions in each state, and multiple educational articles about construction lien waiver management.

“Managing mechanics lien waivers is more than generating and storing them,” says Nate Budde, the company’s chief legal officer. “Education on these instruments is very important because subcontractors and suppliers lose millions - if not billions - each year making avoidable mistakes.”

Education about the entire mechanics lien and bond claim process is one of zlien’s core offering, and in fact, inspired the lien waiver module itself.

“So many legal cases and situations turn on the text of a mechanics lien waiver, and lien waiver text varies so dramatically from party to party” continues  Budde. “We committed ourselves to building a technological solution to this problem for subcontractors and suppliers. We’re not only going to save them time and headaches, we’re going to mitigate the legal risk associated with waivers.”
