LienTracker: Construction Payment Lien Monitor
Automated tracking and filing of mechanic's liens and payment bonds for subcontractors who get stiffed by general contractors.
The Problem
Subcontractors often miss critical deadlines to file mechanic's liens (30-120 days depending on state) when GCs don't pay, losing their legal right to recover. Manually tracking project timelines, state-specific filing deadlines, and required documentation across multiple jobs is error-prone and expensive.
Target Audience
Solo and small-team subcontractors (electricians, plumbers, roofers, HVAC) in residential/commercial construction who work under GCs and frequently face payment delays.
Why Now?
Construction payment disputes hit record levels post-2023; subcontractors are desperate for cheap solutions to protect themselves without hiring lawyers ($500+ per filing).
What's Missing
Existing legal tech targets law firms, not trade workers. Lien filing is repetitive but state-specific, making it perfect for automation but not worth a law firm's dev resources.
