AIA Billing Software (G702/G703 Format)

Create AIA-style pay applications without spreadsheets. Build your Schedule of Values once, track progress each period, and export clean, reviewer-friendly PDFs in a G702/G703-style layout.

How AIA billing fits into the full process

AIA-style G702/G703 pay applications are one part of a larger construction billing workflow. If you want a plain-English overview of how progress billing, retainage, and accounting fit together, start here: Construction Billing Software (Progress Billing + Retainage).

Built for subcontractors, GCs, and construction teams that bill using AIA-style workflows.

PayAppPro produces AIA-style outputs and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the AIA. AIA®, G702® and G703® are registered trademarks of the American Institute of Architects.

Why AIA-Style Billing Is a Pain Without Software

AIA-style billing can look straightforward — until you’re juggling retainage, stored materials, prior payments, and cumulative totals across multiple billing periods. If you’re new to AIA billing, understanding what a G702 form is can prevent common pay application errors and rejections.

Many “revise and resubmit” emails happen because:

  • Summary totals don’t match the continuation/SOV detail
  • Schedule of Values line items drift between periods
  • Stored materials are unsupported or double-counted
  • Retainage is applied inconsistently
  • Spreadsheet formulas quietly break
PayAppPro keeps your SOV, period progress, and rollups tied together so the math stays consistent.
What PayAppPro Does
  • One Schedule of Values that carries forward automatically
  • Line-by-line tracking for work completed, stored materials, and retainage
  • Built-in rollups so summary and continuation totals stay aligned
  • PDF exports in a clean AIA-style layout (G702/G703-style)
  • Less “Excel version chaos” across your team

How AIA-Style Billing Works in PayAppPro

Built around the way contractors bill — while keeping outputs clearly labeled as AIA-style.

1. Build Your Schedule of Values

Create or import your SOV once. Each line becomes the backbone of future pay applications.

2. Update Progress Each Period

Enter work completed and stored materials. Prior totals carry forward to reduce re-keying.

3. Export AIA-Style PDF Outputs

Export a pay app package in a G702/G703-style layout with consistent rollups — ready for GC, owner, or lender review requirements.

Designed for the G702/G703 Workflow (AIA-Style)

PayAppPro supports the common two-part structure: a summary page plus line-item continuation detail.

Continuation Detail (G703-Style)

Line-item detail from your Schedule of Values: work completed, stored materials, retainage, and balance to finish — organized so reviewers can validate the numbers.

Summary Page (G702-Style)

Project-level summary that rolls up totals from your continuation detail: earned to date, retainage, prior payments, and amount due this period.

Important note

PayAppPro outputs are AIA-style and are not official AIA Contract Documents. If your project requires licensed AIA forms, obtain those from the appropriate source and follow your contract requirements.

AIA-Style Pay Apps + QuickBooks

Many teams create pay applications for GC/owner/lender approval, then record billing in accounting. If QuickBooks is where you live, these pages clarify what’s realistic and what usually needs an AIA-specific workflow:

Where contractors get stuck
  • Approved pay app values don’t map cleanly to invoices
  • Retainage and stored materials aren’t presented the way reviewers expect
  • Cumulative period math gets duplicated across spreadsheets + accounting
If you’re comparing formats, also see: payment application vs invoice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers, conservative wording, no weird promises.

Is PayAppPro an official AIA G702/G703 form?

No. PayAppPro generates AIA-style outputs in a G702/G703-style layout. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), and it does not provide official AIA Contract Documents.

What do I need to create an AIA-style pay application?

Typically you need an approved Schedule of Values (SOV), contract amount and change orders (if any), retainage rules, work completed this period, stored materials (if allowed), prior period totals, and any required backup documents.

Why do G702 totals get rejected?

Most rejections happen when the summary totals do not tie to the continuation/SOV detail, previous billing numbers change, retainage is applied inconsistently, stored materials aren’t documented, or spreadsheet formulas break.

Can PayAppPro help with QuickBooks workflows?

Yes. Many teams use PayAppPro to produce the pay app values and then record or sync billing into accounting. See our QuickBooks Online integration page for the intended workflow.

Does PayAppPro support retainage and stored materials?

Yes. PayAppPro supports retainage calculations and tracking stored materials as part of the line-item and rollup workflow, so totals stay consistent period-to-period.
