About the Pay Application template
A pay application (often an AIA-style G702/G703 format) is the contractor's formal request for progress payment. This template ties directly to your schedule of values, calculating work completed, stored materials, retention, and the current amount due so billing is accurate and gets approved without back-and-forth.

Frequently asked questions
What is a construction pay application?
It is the contractor's formal request for progress payment, showing work completed to date against the schedule of values, less retention and prior payments.
What is retention on a pay application?
Retention (or retainage) is a percentage the owner withholds from each payment, commonly five or ten percent, released after the work is complete and accepted.
