Document background
The Subcontractor Lien Waiver Form is a standard document used in Canadian construction projects to manage lien rights and payment verification. It is typically required before release of progress payments or final payment to subcontractors, ensuring that the payment chain remains transparent and protected. The form must comply with specific provincial requirements, such as those outlined in Ontario's Construction Act or similar provincial legislation. The document includes details about the project, payment amount, and scope of work being waived, and may be either conditional (pending payment) or unconditional (after payment received). It serves as protection for property owners and general contractors while providing a clear record of payments and lien rights for subcontractors.
