What is Builders' Ledger Alliance?

The group of general contractors, owner-developers, and lenders that transact on the shared Construction Clearinghouse ledger, allowing lower-tier subs and suppliers to move across projects without re-proving compliance.

Description

The Builders' Ledger Alliance is the coalition of general contractors, owner-developers, and construction lenders that commit to routing pay applications, lien waivers, and draws through the shared Construction Clearinghouse ledger. Membership lets lower-tier subcontractors and suppliers carry their compliance record across projects instead of rebuilding it for every new GC or lender.

The Alliance is a network effect. The more GCs and lenders transact on the shared ledger, the more subs operate with a portable compliance record and the faster capital moves across the chain. Members gain access to pooled compliance data, shared waiver chains, and a common four-eyes disbursement standard.

Alliance membership is included in the Portfolio, Clearinghouse Seat, and CFO Chair tiers of Subcontractor Audit. Participating lenders gain portfolio-level draw-readiness visibility across their borrower base.
