Managing subcontractor payments and lien waivers just got easier with GCPay’s latest enhancements to our ePayments & Waiver Exchange features!
Holds & Comments on Payables Users can now apply manual holds and add comments to payables, providing greater transparency and control over payments based on specific permissions:
Treasury Assistants can remove their own holds.
Treasury Officers can remove any holds, including those placed by others.
Admins have full control to remove any hold.
Expanded Waiver Functionality We’ve decoupled the Payment Exchange waiver setting from the Requirement Trigger, allowing waivers to be required at any stage of the AFP submission and approval process. This is especially helpful for notarized waivers, ensuring subcontractors only notarize once an AFP is fully approved.
A new Payment Controloption lets users require specific waiver templates (such as conditional waivers, tier vendor waivers, and sworn statements) before payments are released. Unlike the Payment Exchange setting, this does not use the "Unofficial" watermark—ensuring required documents are fully collected before payment is issued.
Smarter Payments, Seamless Waiver Collection
These updates reflect GCPay’s commitment to streamlining the subcontractor payment and waiver collection process. Our platform’s usability, efficiency, and security help general contractors mitigate the unique challenges that arise in the construction payment process.

Preliminary Notices Available from Tier Vendors within GCPay
In many states, a preliminary notice (notice to owner, notice of furnishing, pre-lien notice, etc.) may be required for a tier vendor to secure lien rights on a project. To help organize these important documents, GCPay has added the option to indicate if a preliminary notice has been received and an option to upload that notice to the tier vendor record.
In some states, vendors may be required to submit subsequent notices if their contract value increases. For that reason, users can upload and store multiple preliminary notices. GCPay will add a PN badge next to any tier vendor for which a preliminary notice has been received.
GCPay knows that tracking tier vendor lien waivers can be a massive headache, so we've added a tier vendor waiver/template option to only require a given waiver/template when a preliminary notice has been received. If you work in a state where a preliminary notice is required to establish lien rights, you can use this feature to limit the waiver/template requirement to only those tier vendors that pose a lien risk on your project.

Tri-North Builders, a nationwide leader in construction based in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, turned to GCPay to modernize subcontractor payment and compliance processes. By integrating with their ERP, Viewpoint Vista, they have streamlined workflows, improved transparency, and strengthened subcontractor relationships, enabling their team to work smarter, resolve issues faster, and drive project success.
“We had seven to nine people spending about 30 hours a week on tasks, and it was all manual. Since implementing GCPay, only one or two people now manage these processes, spending about 20 to 30 hours per week."
