Construction Billing Examples
Real, filled-out examples of AIA-style pay application work — what a good G702 looks like, how a Schedule of Values is structured, how stored materials get documented, and what actually gets a pay app rejected.
Every example below is part of a full guide, so you get the sample and the reasoning behind it.
Featured Examples
AIA G702 Example (Filled Out)
A complete, realistic G702-style application with every line explained — contract sum, completed and stored work, retainage, previous payments, and the balance to finish. Shows exactly how the numbers tie together.
See the filled-out G702 →Schedule of Values Example
A filled-out SOV with the line-item structure reviewers expect, how it feeds the G703 continuation sheet, the mistakes that cause billing problems, and trade-specific layouts for electrical, concrete, and HVAC work.
See the SOV example →Rejected Pay Application Examples
What a rejection actually looks like — prior-billing continuity errors, retainage mismatches, pending change orders billed too early, and missing stored-materials backup. Each with the wrong version and the corrected approach side by side.
See rejection examples →Stored Materials Billing Example
An example stored-materials line item with the backup package reviewers ask for — supplier invoice, delivery record, storage location, and photo documentation — plus how retainage applies and what happens when the material gets installed.

Change Order Billing
How an approved change order flows into the SOV and the continuation sheet without breaking your prior-period tie-outs.
Billing change orders on G702/G703 →Retainage Calculations
Worked retainage math with real numbers, and the drift that causes reviewers to send pay apps back.
Calculating retainage →The Reviewer’s View
What a GC’s reviewer actually checks first when your pay application lands on their desk.
