Built for the documents a California GC actually handles

Where general contractors lose money on documents

  • Onboarding 12 subs in a week

    Every sub brings a COI, a W-9, and a stack of SDSs. The intake bottleneck delays job mobilization by days.

  • Owner lien waivers with construction-loan deadlines

    Construction lenders require statutory waivers for every draw. One non-compliant form and the draw gets rejected.

  • COI tracking platforms that just store, never verify

    Tracking platforms remind you of expirations but don't actually verify the certificate complies with your contract requirements.
