FAQ

AIA billing questions

What are AIA forms G702 and G703?

The G702 is the Application for Payment cover sheet. The G703 is the Continuation Sheet (Schedule of Values). Together, they standardize billing between owners, GCs, and subs. Werx generates AIA-style versions of both automatically.

Can QuickBooks handle AIA billing?

No. QuickBooks does not support AIA-style billing, progress billing, or retainage natively. Werx fills that gap and syncs the financial data back to QuickBooks.

How does Werx handle retainage?

Werx tracks retainage automatically at the line item level. Rates can change mid-project. Bill retainage in any pay app or invoice it separately at closeout.

Why not use spreadsheets for AIA billing?

Spreadsheets break across multiple projects. They produce errors that get pay apps rejected. AIA-style billing in Werx is accurate, repeatable, and accepted first time.

Can I send pay apps electronically?

Yes. Email the pay app to your client and collect payment online through Stripe.

Is AIA billing included on every plan?

Yes. Full G702/G703 style billing is included on every Werx plan. No upgrade required.
