Frequently Asked Questions

A pay application (pay app) is a monthly billing document submitted by the contractor to the owner requesting payment for work completed. It includes a schedule of values showing line-item progress, retainage held, stored materials, and the total amount due.

Yes. The template follows the industry-standard AIA G702 (Application and Certificate for Payment) and G703 (Continuation Sheet) format that owners, architects, lenders, and sureties expect.
