Pay Applications

What Are Pay Applications?

Pay Applications are monthly billing documents used to request payment for work completed during a billing period. SuperConstruct follows the industry-standard AIA G702/G703 format, which is universally accepted in the construction industry.

Pay Applications are the primary cash flow mechanism in construction — they're how contractors get paid for work performed.

Key Concepts

G702 — Application and Certificate for Payment

The summary document showing:

• Total contract value (original + changes)
• Total completed and stored to date
• Current retainage
• Total earned less retainage
• Less previous certificates for payment
• Current payment due

G703 — Continuation Sheet

The detailed line-by-line breakdown showing for each SOV item:

• Description of work
• Scheduled value
• Work completed in previous periods
• Work completed this period
• Materials presently stored
• Total completed and stored to date
• Percentage complete
• Balance to finish
• Retainage

Retainage

A percentage (typically 5-10%) withheld from each payment as security that the work will be completed satisfactorily. Retainage is released at project completion.

Stored Materials

Materials that have been purchased and delivered to the site (or stored off-site) but not yet installed. These are included in the billing.

Creating a Pay Application

1. Navigate to Pay Applications in the project sidebar
2. Click "New Pay Application"
3. Select Billing Period — the month/dates this application covers
4. Update Line Items — for each SOV item, enter:

• Percentage complete or dollar amount of work completed this period
• Materials presently stored (if applicable)

1. The system auto-calculates all amounts: current payment due, retainage, balance to finish

Pay Application Flow

Electronic Signatures

SuperConstruct integrates with Anvil for electronic signatures:

• Once a pay application is ready, a signature packet is generated
• All required parties can sign electronically
• Signed documents are stored automatically

Flexible Signing — Anyone with Permission Can Sign

SuperConstruct uses a flexible signing model so that projects don't get held up waiting for a single named signer.

How it works:

• Any team member who holds the Signer permission for the project can initiate signing — there's no need to pre-assign a specific person
• Click "Sign" on the pay application to open your personal signature session
• The system generates your signature packet on demand using your profile details

Race-condition protection:

• Only one active signing session can exist at a time for each document type (G702, CLW, UCLW)
• If another team member is currently signing, you'll see the message: "Another team member is currently signing this document" — wait for them to complete or cancel
• Once a document is signed, the Sign button is no longer shown to others

Signing Progress Tracker:

The detail page shows a signing progress section listing all potential signers and their current status:

Conditional Lien Waivers (CLW)

When a pay application is submitted, SuperConstruct can automatically generate Conditional Lien Waivers. These protect the project owner from mechanics' liens by documenting that the contractor waives lien rights upon receiving payment.

Payment Terms

Configure payment terms for the project:

• Contract dates
• Retainage percentage
• Payment duration (e.g., Net 30)
