Flexible Waiver Controls

Our unique waiver feature empowers risk-focused professionals to add supplemental waivers or documents to a specific pay application on demand—without impacting future requisitions. This means you can respond to unique project circumstances in real time: no permanent project setting changes required.

Whether it's a one-time requirement or a situational safeguard, your accounting and risk teams have optionality:

Situational Line Waivers
Need to send line-level waivers to subcontractors or tier vendors only under certain conditions? With this feature, you can issue them for a single pay application—without making them a standing requirement.

One-Off Tier Waivers and Sworn Statements
Has a subcontractor submitted significant tier billing? Or perhaps they didn't, but you have reason to believe they should have? Add a tier waiver or sworn statement requirement to that specific pay application to protect your project and ensure transparency.

Early Discount / Final Waiver Scenarios
When a subcontractor accepts an early payment discount and won't bill the full approved Schedule of Values, you may need to collect a final waiver—even though their contract wasn't billed to 100% within GCPay. Our unique waiver feature provides your accounting team an easy solution to generate a final waiver in this circumstance.

Construction billing is rarely one-size-fits-all. Projects shift, risk considerations change, and unique circumstances arise throughout the lifecycle of a contract. GCPay's unique waiver feature gives you the flexibility to respond to those moments without overhauling your standard processes.

Instead of making permanent changes to your waiver setup, you can address specific compliance needs, mitigate risk, and manage special billing situations exactly when they occur—while keeping future pay cycles consistent and streamlined.

From Optional to Expected: Why ePayment Is Becoming the New Standard in GCPay

GCPay saw another strong year of ePayment growth in 2025, with customers moving more than $6 billion in payment applications through the platform—an increase of $2 billion over 2024.

So what’s driving this surge?
New GCPay customers are coming in with clear expectations: digital payments are no longer optional. For many general contractors evaluating automation tools, ePayment has become one of the most critical sources of value in their payment workflow.

As demand grows, ePayment remains a key focus for the GCPay product team. The functionality continues to evolve to support the real-world needs of general contractors and their accounts payable teams. Customers can manage payments at the project level or company level, depending on how their AP process is structured. They can also queue and batch payments quickly and easily, with designated roles ensuring the right people stay in control of the transfer process.

Despite this shift, many general contractors are still paying subcontractors by paper check or traditional ACH. GCPay’s ePayment and Waiver Exchange feature offers three major advantages:

1. Saves time and money compared to paper checks

2. Reduces risk by securely collecting and storing subcontractor banking details (so you don’t have to)

3. Automatically exchanges signed unconditional waivers the moment payment is received

Why AI Adoption Fails—and What Construction Teams Can Do Differently

AI is everywhere in construction headlines—but many teams still struggle to turn it into real, day-to-day value.

In this episode of Digital Builder, host Eric Thomas talks with Dr. Sarah Buchner, Founder and CEO of Trunk Tools, about what it actually takes for construction teams to adopt AI successfully. The conversation cuts through the buzzwords and focuses on practical use cases already making an impact today.

Sarah brings a unique, field-tested perspective—from carpenter to project leader to data scientist—and explains where AI is delivering the biggest returns right now, especially in white-collar construction workflows.

Why GCPay users should care:
Many of the strongest AI use cases show up in the same areas GCs and AP teams work in every day—reducing manual effort, improving accuracy, minimizing rework, and keeping projects moving when teams are stretched thin.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why AI adoption often stalls, and what helps teams move past resistance

• Where AI is delivering real ROI today in construction operations

• How construction-trained AI differs from general tools like ChatGPT

• What leadership, IT, and legal teams need to consider for successful rollout

• How AI can help reduce rework and support teams facing labor shortages

If you’re thinking about how technology can continue to streamline processes and support smarter decision-making across your projects, this episode offers a practical look at what’s already working in the industry.

🎧 Listen now and see how AI could support your team’s next step forward.

 The One Report Every GC Should Bookmark

You know that moment when someone asks, “Can you show me the payment history for Project X?” and suddenly your day turns into a scavenger hunt through spreadsheets, emails, and PDFs?

Meet the reports that stop that chaos: Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Outstanding Approvals, and Compliance Reports in GCPay. These aren’t just numbers—they’re a snapshot of your project’s payment pulse, giving you the visibility to stay ahead, avoid bottlenecks, and keep owners confident.

GCs who use these reports regularly say they’ve become day-to-day tools, not just “audit season necessities.” Bookmarking them saves time, keeps conversations focused on progress, and keeps your paper trail owner-ready.

How to Find and Bookmark Your Reports in GCPay:

⬇️Log in to your GCPay account.

⬇️ Navigate to the Reports tab in the main menu.

⬇️ Select the report you need: Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Outstanding Approvals, or Compliance Reports.

⬇️ Use the filters to choose a project, date range, or subcontractor.

⬇️Click “Export” to save or bookmark the report for easy access anytime.

Future-you will thank present-you for keeping these reports handy. A few clicks now means fewer headaches later, and a paper trail that makes you look like a hero when owners or auditors come calling.
