Subcontractors - Navigating Built

Overview

As a subcontractor in Built, your home page is the Receivables page. This is where you manage your lien waivers and track payments for each of your pay app invoices. This article walks you through how to read the Receivables page, sign lien waivers, accept payments, and view invoice details.

Understanding the Receivables Page

Description

When you log in to Built, you land on the Receivables page. Each row in the list represents a pay app invoice — a request for payment tied to a specific project. At the top of the page, you may see banners alerting you to payments ready to accept or lien waivers ready to sign.

The invoice list includes the following columns:

Vendor Requirements

The Vendor Requirements section displays two columns — CLW (Conditional Lien Waiver) and ULW (Unconditional Lien Waiver) — each with a status icon indicating where things stand:

Payment Status

The Payment column shows the current payment status for each invoice:

Viewing an Invoice

Description

You can click into any invoice from the Receivables page to view its full details, including your lien waiver requirements and payment tracking.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. From the Receivables page, click the blue ID for the invoice you want to open.

   

2. The invoice detail page opens, with two tabs to select from: My Requirements and Payment.

   

3. Click the My Requirements tab to view your lien waiver details. This tab lists any applicable Waivers, each with a status indicator showing whether they have been signed or are still pending.

   

4. Click the Payment tab to track your payment. This tab shows a step-by-step timeline with three milestones:

   

   Payment Sent — Your payor has sent the payment; it is waiting in Built's escrow account.

   Payment Accepted — You have accepted the payment and Built has initiated a deposit to your bank account.

   Payment Received — The payment has been successfully deposited to your bank account.

   Each milestone turns blue as it is completed, so you can see exactly where your payment stands at any time. The right side of the page also displays a payment summary, including your invoice total and total paid to date.
