Where carpenters lose money on documents

  • Pre-drywall progress waivers with stale through-dates

    GCs send waivers in batches and the through-dates often lag. Sign one with a future date and you release work you haven't been paid for.

  • Crew COIs with scope mismatches

    Independent framers carry GL but often without the right additional-insured endorsement form for the GC.

  • Lumber yard EIN changes after acquisitions

    Yards get acquired; the W-9 on file becomes stale and 1099-NEC kicks back at year-end.

The documents PaidWrite reviews for carpenters

  • ›

    California progress lien waivers

    Multi-draw framing jobs invoice every two weeks; each waiver releases a specific dollar amount.

  • ›

    ACORD 25 COIs from independent framers

    Verify GL, workers comp, and additional-insured endorsement (CG 20 10 + CG 20 37 for completed ops).

  • ›

    IRS Form W-9 from lumber and engineered-wood suppliers

    EIN drift from acquisitions is the #1 source of 1099 errors for carpenters.

    OSHA HazCom 2012 requires current 16-section SDSs on site.

What you get

Through-date validator

Compares the waiver's through-date against your last invoiced work so you don't release future draws.

Crew COI sweep

Verify each helper's GL, workers comp, and additional-insured endorsement form in one batch.

Supplier W-9 watcher

Re-verify supplier W-9s annually so EIN changes don't blow up 1099-NEC season.

Adhesive & sealant SDS audit

Audit your trailer binder against OSHA's 16-section standard.

Frequently asked questions

Does PaidWrite know about the difference between framing and finish carpentry?
PaidWrite is document-focused, not trade-classification-focused. Both C-5 framing and C-6 finish carpentry use the same waiver, COI, W-9, and SDS document types.
Can I store waivers per project?
Yes — tag each scan by job; the per-job ledger lives in your account.
My GC pays via Procore — is the waiver in there valid?
Procore-issued waivers are typically the §§8132–8138 statutory forms; PaidWrite confirms statutory match either way.
