Show the owner where the money went
On a cost-plus job, trust is what gets you paid. The owner is paying your costs plus a fee, so they want to see where the costs landed against the estimate.
This builder runs in cost of the work mode. The continuation sheet carries the estimated versus current value columns, C1 through C4, in the style of the 2021 G703CW sheet. You show the original estimate, the changes from prior applications, the changes this period, and the current value, line by line.
All the standard billing columns are still there: previous applications, this period, stored materials, total completed, balance to finish, and retainage.
Fill it in and download the two page PDF. It is our own format, not an official AIA form, so use it on the jobs where that is accepted.
Cost-Plus Pay Application questions
Is this really free?
Yes. No email, no signup, and nothing you type leaves your browser.
What are the C1 to C4 columns?
Original estimated value, changes from previous applications, changes this period, and current value. They let a cost-plus contractor show actual costs drifting against estimates line by line, in the style of the 2021 G703CW continuation sheet.
Can I still track retainage and stored materials?
Yes. All the standard billing columns remain: previous applications, this period, stored materials, total completed, balance to finish, and retainage.
Is this an official AIA form?
No. It follows the same math and structure contractors know from AIA-style billing, but it is our own format. If your contract requires official AIA documents, purchase them from AIA.
