The problem

The current process is a liability.

The email-PDF chase

You email a PDF template. The sub prints, signs, scans, and emails it back — then you have to remember to release payment.

Payment and waiver are decoupled

Nothing stops you from paying before a waiver is signed, or forgetting to pay after. Both create real lien exposure.

A paper trail nightmare

At project close, reconstructing waiver history means digging through email threads and shared drives.

The fix

Payment and waiver, finally in lockstep.

One-click payment batches

Create a batch. Each sub gets an email with their waiver and amount. That is the whole workflow.

Payment coupled to signature

Funds release the moment the waiver is signed — never before, never forgotten.

Audit-ready ledger

Every waiver, payment, and timestamp on record per project — ready for the title company or owner on request.

How it works

From payment approval to signed waiver in minutes.

01

Add a project and vendors

Create a project and add your subs and suppliers. About two minutes.

02

Create a payment batch

Add line items — vendor, amount, through-date. SureHold stages the funds in escrow.

03

Subs sign electronically

Each vendor gets a one-click signing link. The waiver is pre-filled from your project data.

04

Payment releases automatically

On signature, the payment releases and the conditional waiver converts to unconditional.

Features

Built for how GCs actually work.

Escrow-backed payments

Funds are staged on batch creation. Subs know the money is there; you know it will not release without a signed waiver.

Instant release

Waiver signed, payment released — no manual step, no reminder, no delay.

All 50 state templates

Statutory conditional and unconditional waivers for every state, pre-filled from your project data.

Batch processing

Pay twenty subs at once. Each gets their own waiver and link; you see every status in one view.

Project ledger

A full audit trail per project: every waiver, payment, signature timestamp, and IP. Title-company ready.

Accounting & PM sync (coming soon)

Two-way QuickBooks Online sync and Procore connectivity are in development — so bills and waiver status will stay in step.

Integrations — coming soon

Built to plug into the tools you already run.

Your books, your bank, your project teams, and your chat — soon kept in step automatically. These integrations are in development.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is this a real escrow account?

Funds are held via Stripe Connect, which is regulated and FDIC pass-through insured. We are not a bank or escrow company.

What states are supported?

All 50 states. Templates are based on each state’s statutory form.

What if a sub does not sign?

The funds stay in escrow. You can resend the link, follow up, or cancel the payment. Nothing releases without a signature.

Does my sub need an account?

No. Subs click a link, read the waiver, and sign. No account, no app, no friction.

Can I use this for suppliers too?

Yes. Suppliers sign unconditional waivers. Both tiers are fully supported.

How will the QuickBooks sync work?

QuickBooks Online sync is coming soon. Once live, connecting QuickBooks will let SureHold record a bill automatically when a waiver is signed, with vendors synced from your vendor list.

Stop chasing waivers.

The average GC project runs 40+ waiver cycles. SureHold automates every one of them.
