Built, an AI-powered platform for real estate finance, has launched Built Payments with Lien Waivers, a digital payments and lien waiver workflow for the construction industry that is offered at no cost.
Designed for general contractors, subcontractors, owners, and developers, the solution enables businesses to process secure digital payments without fees while automatically managing lien waivers within the same workflow when projects require them. The product was officially unveiled at Procore Groundbreak 2025.
Chase Gilbert, Co-founder and CEO of Built, stated that the solution makes digital payments free and integrates lien waiver management. He emphasized its speed and simplicity, asserting that it represents a new standard for money movement in construction. Gilbert added that Built aims to deliver lightweight, low to no-cost solutions for faster and easier payments, accessible to any builder from large general contractors to small subcontractors, with same-day onboarding.
For decades, construction finance has contended with issues such as delayed paper check clearances, late or incomplete lien waivers, and time-consuming monthly reconciliations. These operational bottlenecks can impede project timelines, affect vendor and owner relationships, and increase administrative burden for back-office teams. The challenges are particularly acute for small and mid-size businesses and builders, which are often underserved by expensive or complex existing solutions.
Built Payments with Lien Waivers addresses these challenges by processing free digital payments and automatically generating lien waivers tied to each disbursement, aiming to ensure compliance without additional steps. While payment recipients can access funds for free, an optional fee allows for even faster access to their money. Finance teams gain real-time visibility into cash flow and project status, reducing reliance on manual tracking or duplicate systems. Subcontractors receive payments without cost and on schedule, general contractors can reduce overhead and avoid delays, and owners and developers receive assurance that all downstream vendors are paid, supporting project progression.
Any firm can send unlimited digital payments through Built at no cost, with integrated lien waiver management. Payment recipients incur no charges to use the system or receive digital payments, but can opt for expedited fund access for a nominal fee. For businesses seeking standalone lien waiver management without digital payments, a subscription is available for a flat $1,000 per month, which includes unlimited waivers, templates, projects, and users.
Built Payments with Lien Waivers integrates with Procore Financials and is compatible with most construction and accounting platforms. It allows general contractors and subcontractors to manage an unlimited number of projects and team members, create state-mandated or custom lien waiver templates using a self-serve designer, and send secure digital payments with automated waiver collection. Vendors can be added with unlimited free accounts to facilitate project partner payments and compliance. Built also offers a comprehensive construction payables, budgeting, draw management, and project financials platform with built-in integrations and free digital payments.
