Subcontracts, lien waivers, and bonds — issued, signed, tracked.
The Construction Contracts Manager handles the contractual layer of every project: prime contracts, subcontracts, change orders, conditional + unconditional progress lien waivers, final lien waivers, payment and performance bonds, certificates of insurance, joint-check agreements. Per-payment-application lien waiver discipline is the difference between clean retainage release and a mechanic's lien fight.

"Lien waiver discipline lives in a spreadsheet. We discover gaps when the owner won't release retainage."

What TeamSync gives the contracts manager.
1. Subcontracts as TeamSync CLM artefacts.
CLM issues subcontracts from templates with project + scope + terms pre-populated. Negotiation, redlines, signature, executed-version storage all in one workflow.
2. eSignature integrated.
eSignatures handles subcontractor signature, lien-waiver execution, change-order approval. eIDAS-compliant where required for international projects.
3. Lien-waiver cycle automated per pay-app.
Business Process Automation ties conditional / unconditional progress lien waivers to each payment application; final lien waivers required at retainage release. Status visible per trade per cycle.
4. Bond + COI tracking with expiry monitoring.
Performance bonds, payment bonds, certificates of insurance modelled with expiry dates; renewal request workflow runs automatically.
5. Audit ledger anchors every signed artefact.
Subcontracts, lien waivers, change orders, bonds — all anchored in the Merkle audit ledger. Mechanic's lien defence, retainage dispute, and owner inquiry answered from cryptographic record.

How TeamSync compares for construction contracts.
| Capability | TeamSync | Procore | Autodesk Construction Cloud | DocuSign CLM | Textura / Oracle Pay Apps |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Subcontract authoring + e-sign | ✅ | Procore | ACC | DocuSign | Textura (pay-side) |
| Lien-waiver cycle per pay-app | ✅ | Procore | ACC | Limited | Textura |
| Bond + COI expiry tracking | ✅ | Limited | Limited | Limited | Limited |
