Subcontractor and Sub-Tier Types Recognized by Textura

Textura recognizes three types of Sub-Tier organizations.

On-System Sub-Tiers

On-System Sub-Tiers accept project participation and complete billing activities in Textura.

They use Textura to:

Accept assigned subcontracts to confirm project participation.
Submit invoices during a defined draw period.
Sign AIA documents and lien waivers when submitting invoices.
Receive ACH payments.
Notes:
- Lien waiver signatures remain hidden from until the disbursing organization releases funds.
- Sixty percent of California General Contractors using Textura have tracked On-System Sub-Tiers.

Lien Waiver Only Sub-Tiers have Textura accounts to sign lien waivers, but they do not submit or track their billing in Textura.

Lien Waiver Only Sub-Tiers:

Submit invoices and billing information outside Textura.
Receive prompts to sign lien waivers in Textura.
Receive payment outside Textura from you or the Prime Subcontractor.
Note: The Prime Subcontractor can see lien waiver signatures immediately. After the Prime Subcontractor approves a waiver, your organization receives an approval task and can see the Sub-Tier’s signature during approval.

Manual Sub-Tiers do not use Textura. Prime Subcontractors record their payments and supplies during billing.

Manual Sub-Tiers:

Do not have Textura accounts.
Are listed in Textura for tracking purposes.
Provide signed lien waivers outside Textura. You or the Prime Subcontractor upload them for tracking.
Receive payment outside Textura from your organization or the Prime Subcontractor.
