Our Free Construction Lien Waiver Generator


Waivers and releases play an important role in payment tracking, especially for property owners. Some property owners will even choose to hold payment until a waiver is provided to protect themselves against a potential lien. At CNS, we know how time-consuming filling out waivers and releases can be. That is why we offer our customers free lien waiver forms when they do a preliminary notice with us.

Our easy-to-use and secure online database manages and stores your prelim information for all of your projects. Our waiver generator then uses this information to populate waivers automatically. After that, you simply print it, sign it, and send it to the owner. Our generator makes the repetitive task of creating waivers and releases quick and easy to allow you more time to focus on higher-level aspects of the job.

Understanding Lien Waivers & Releases


There are four types of lien waivers and releases that one must be aware of:

  1. Conditional Waiver and Release Upon Progress Payment
    This type of release is only effective if you receive the progress payment and it clears the bank. However, it does not cover any retention or items furnished after said date.
  2. Unconditional Waiver and Release Upon Progress Payment
    All rights of your mechanic’s lien on this job are released at the time of signing, regardless of whether payment is made. However, it does not cover any retention or items furnished after said date.
  3. Conditional Waiver and Release Upon Final Payment
    This type of release is only effective if you receive the final payment and the check clears the bank.
  4. Unconditional Waiver and Release Upon Final Payment
    Upon signing, all rights of your mechanic’s lien on this job are released, regardless of whether payment has been made.
