Pay Application (G702/G703)

A progress-payment request in the widely used G702/G703 style — a summary certificate backed by a line-by-line continuation sheet.

AI-assisted document tools — not legal advice. A starting point you can understand and customize.

What it is

A pay application is how a contractor requests a progress payment for work completed during a billing period. The familiar format has two parts: a summary sheet (in the style of the AIA G702) that rolls up the contract sum, change orders, work completed, retainage, and the current amount due; and a continuation sheet (in the style of the AIA G703) that breaks the total down across the schedule of values, line by line, with the percent complete for each. XOsign generates a pay application in this format — it is not an official AIA form.

When you’d use it

  • You bill for work completed during a monthly or milestone billing cycle.
  • The owner or GC expects billing tied to a schedule of values.
  • You need to show percent-complete and retainage on each line item.
  • You want a clean, consistent payment request that is easy to certify and approve.

Frequently asked questions

What are AIA forms G702 and G703?

G702 is the summary 'Application and Certificate for Payment' and G703 is its 'Continuation Sheet' that details the schedule of values. They are copyrighted AIA documents. XOsign generates a pay application in the same familiar layout so it is easy to review and approve — it does not reproduce the official AIA forms.

What is a schedule of values?

A schedule of values breaks the total contract price into line items — each with a dollar value — so progress can be billed as a percent complete against each item. The continuation sheet of a pay application is built directly on it.

How is retainage shown on a pay application?

Retainage is the percentage the owner withholds from each payment (often 5–10%) until the work is accepted. On a pay application it is calculated on completed work and stored materials and subtracted to arrive at the current amount due.
