For C-36 plumbing contractors

Built for the documents a California plumber actually signs

GC lien waivers, supplier W-9s, COIs from helpers and second-tier subs, and SDSs for primers, cements, and joint compounds — reviewed in 30 seconds with C-36 risk patterns baked in.

Where plumbers lose money on documents

  • Re-pipe and remodel waivers with mixed scope

    Long re-pipe jobs invoice in stages. Each unconditional waiver releases a fixed dollar amount — sign the wrong one and you waive next month's draw.

  • Fixture supplier W-9 mismatch

    Big fixture suppliers swap entity names mid-quarter (acquisitions, DBA changes). The W-9 on file no longer matches the invoice.

  • SDS gaps on PVC primers and ABS cements

    Solvent-cement chemicals require current SDSs in your job trailer. Old MSDS-format documents fail OSHA HazCom 2012.

The documents PaidWrite reviews for plumbers

  • California progress and final lien waivers

    Multi-draw re-pipe and remodel jobs make through-date errors common.

  • ACORD 25 COIs from helpers and tier-2 subs

    Workers comp + GL must list correct scope; additional-insured endorsement matters for completed operations.

  • IRS Form W-9 from fixture and material suppliers

    Verify EIN format and business classification before issuing 1099-NEC.

  • SDSs for PVC primer, ABS cement, pipe dope, sealants

    OSHA HazCom + Cal/OSHA require current 16-section SDSs on site.

Frequently asked questions

Does PaidWrite know the difference between progress and final waivers?
Yes — all four California statutory forms (§§8132 conditional progress, §8134 unconditional progress, §8136 conditional final, §8138 unconditional final) are scored against their own ruleset.
Can I track waivers across multiple jobs?
Yes — tag each scan by job and you get a per-job ledger of what you've waived.
What about Cal/OSHA SDS rules?
Cal/OSHA Title 8 §5194 mirrors federal HazCom 2012; PaidWrite surfaces state-specific deltas.
