How to fill out a G702/G703 pay application
- 01
Enter the project and the parties
Project name and address, the contractor applying for payment, the owner, and — if the job has one — the architect. The contract date and a project number are optional reference fields.
- 02
Set the application number and billing period
The application number counts up each billing cycle — second draw, application 2. Dates use MM/DD/YYYY, and the period runs from the first day of the billing window to the last.
- 03
Enter the contract sum and any change orders
The original contract sum is the baseline from the signed contract. Approved change orders go in as one net-change amount — additions positive, deductions negative — so the contract sum to date always reflects the current scope.
- 04
Add the G703 line items
One row per work item: the description, its scheduled value from the schedule of values, work completed on previous applications, work completed this period, and materials stored on site but not yet installed.
- 05
Check the auto-computed summary
The G702 totals calculate from the line items: completed and stored to date, retainage at the contract rate, less previous certificates, and the current payment due. If a check flags — a negative current due, work past the contract sum, or a schedule that does not match — fix the entries before downloading.
- 06
Download the two-page PDF
One PDF with both pages: the application for payment first, the continuation sheet second. Review the numbers against the job records, print, and sign by hand.
What is a G702?
The G702 is the summary page of the standard progress-billing paperwork: a one-page application for payment that rolls the whole job into a short chain of calculated lines. It starts from the original contract sum, adds or subtracts approved change orders to reach the contract sum to date, then pulls in the total work completed and materials stored — a number that comes straight from the companion continuation sheet. Retainage is withheld from that total at the contract rate, previous certificates for payment are deducted, and what remains is the current payment due. The last line reports the balance to finish, so the owner and the architect can see the remaining contract value at a glance. The official AIA G702 is a copyrighted form, and many contracts name it directly. This generator produces an AIA G702 G703 fillable form that is an AIA-style equivalent: same field structure, same math, original layout. Whatever the contract names, the contract itself governs — the form is only how the numbers are presented.
What is a G703?
The G703 is the continuation sheet — the line-item half of the standard pay application pair. In an AIA G702 G703 fillable form, the summary page's totals are computed from this sheet. Where the summary page reports a handful of calculated totals, the continuation sheet shows how each dollar was earned: one row per work item, with a scheduled value from the contract's schedule of values, the work completed on previous applications, the work completed this period, and any materials presently stored on site but not yet installed. Each row is computed independently: total completed and stored adds the three columns, the percentage complete divides that total by the scheduled value, and the balance to finish is whatever remains. The bottom row totals every column, and those totals feed the summary page — the summary never reports a number the continuation sheet did not produce. Keeping one row per trade or phase keeps the percentages honest and makes a disputed line easy to point to during a walkthrough or a pay-app review meeting.
How does progress billing work?
Progress billing means the contract value is billed in stages as work completes, instead of one invoice at the end. Each pay application reports work completed to date, less previous payments, less retainage, plus the current amount due. The continuation sheet carries the line-item detail, and the application's totals are computed from it. A typical commercial job bills monthly: the contractor lists each line item's scheduled value, marks what was completed this period, and certifies the totals, and the architect or owner reviews the application against the schedule of values before releasing payment. Because each application builds on the last — previous certificates are deducted, so a line already paid is never billed twice — the paperwork doubles as a running record of the job's earned value. Disputes surface early, while the work is still fresh and the amounts are still small, instead of arriving as one surprise balance at the end.
What is retainage?
Retainage is a percentage of each progress payment, withheld until the job reaches the contract's completion threshold — the rate is set by the contract, and 10% is the common commercial default. It exists so the owner holds back leverage for punch-list work and warranty obligations; the contractor gets the money back as the job closes out, sometimes half at substantial completion and the rest at final. Retainage has its own notice deadline in Texas: the earlier of 30 days after the claimant's own contract is completed, terminated, or abandoned, or 30 days after the original contract is terminated or abandoned (§53.057(a-1)). On the pay application itself, retainage appears as its own calculated lines: one amount withheld on work completed, another on stored materials, deducted from the earned total before the current payment due is figured. Changing the rate or adding a change order re-computes the whole chain automatically.
What each field means
Original Contract Sum
The baseline contract amount from the signed contract, before any change orders. Line 1 of the summary.
Net Change by Change Orders
The running total of approved change orders — additions positive, deductions negative. Added to line 1 to give the contract sum to date.
Previous Certificates for Payment
The total already certified or paid on earlier applications for this job. Deducted from the earned-less-retainage total so no work is billed twice.
Retainage percentages
The withheld percentage on completed work, and — when the contract sets a different rate for materials on site — the percentage on stored materials. Blank defaults to 10% and to the completed-work rate.
Scheduled Value
Each line item's planned value from the schedule of values. The percentages and balances on its row are all measured against this number.
Work Completed — Previous / This Period
What the line earned before this billing window, and what it earned inside it. Together with stored materials, the two make the row's total completed to date.
Materials Presently Stored
Materials delivered to the job but not yet installed. Counted in the completed-and-stored total, and often withheld at its own retainage rate.
Current Payment Due
The amount this application asks for: earned less retainage, minus everything previously certified. Flagged when it comes out negative.
Balance to Finish
The contract sum to date minus everything completed and stored — the value left to earn on the job, including retainage still to be released.
G702/G703 questions, answered straight.
Is this G702/G703 fillable form free?
Yes. The generator needs no account: enter the project, the line items, and the amounts; the summary computes itself. Download the two-page PDF, review it, and sign by hand.
Is this the official AIA form?
No. The official AIA G702 and G703 are copyrighted forms sold by the American Institute of Architects. This generator produces an AIA-style equivalent — the same field structure and the same math, in an original layout. Many owners and architects accept equivalent forms, but the contract governs: check what your contract names before submitting.
What retainage percentage should I enter?
The rate your contract sets — retainage is a contract term, not a legal default. 10% is the common commercial value, and it is the generator's default. If the contract does not mention retainage, enter 0 rather than guessing.
Why is my current payment due negative or flagged?
The summary checks itself as you type. A negative current payment due means the previous certificates entered are larger than the earned-less-retainage total — usually a mistyped previous payment or a missing change order. Completed work past the contract sum, or a schedule of values that does not add up to the contract sum to date, also flag. Fix the entries; the totals recompute immediately.
What is the difference between the G702 and the G703?
The G702 is the summary page: one calculated chain from contract sum to current payment due. The G703 is the continuation sheet: one row per work item, with the totals that feed the summary. The two travel together — the summary never reports a number the continuation sheet did not produce.
