AIA-style billing: your first pay application
From contract to a G702-style application in one pass.
Updated October 15, 2026
Progress billing means you bill a share of each line as the work gets done. Werx produces the application for payment and the continuation sheet in the G702 and G703 style that general contractors and owners expect. This guide walks the whole path once.
- Create the contract project (see Create a Contract Project), then open its Contract tab and build the schedule of values with a retainage percentage.
- Open the Revenue tab and create the first pay application.
- Fill in the work completed per line. The G702-style summary and G703-style continuation sheet are produced for you, with retainage held back.
Reading the application
- Original contract sum and net change by change orders give the contract sum to date.
- Total completed and stored to date is everything billed so far, including this application.
- Retainage is held back at the project's percentage on completed work and stored materials.
- Less previous certificates subtracts what was billed before, leaving current payment due.
The continuation sheet lists every schedule of values line with its previous, current and stored amounts.
AIA-style billing FAQ
Is this an official AIA form?
No. Werx produces an AIA-style application and continuation sheet with the same structure and math. If your contract requires the licensed AIA documents, use the numbers from Werx to fill them in.
How do I bill stored materials?
Enter the stored amount on the line. It is included in the total completed and stored, and retainage applies to it.
How do I release retainage at the end?
Create a final pay application and reduce the retainage held to zero. The balance comes due.
