G702 and G703 that tie out
The continuation sheet has to match the summary page to the penny, and previous billing has to match last month's approved amount. A mismatch is the most common reason a pay app gets returned.
Home / Pay applications
Every GC in New Jersey and New York City has its own form, portal, backup list and cutoff. We build your monthly pay app to that exact spec, check it twice, and have it ready for your signature before the deadline.
WHAT GCS CHECK
These are the reasons pay apps come back unpaid. We check every one before the package ever reaches you.
The continuation sheet has to match the summary page to the penny, and previous billing has to match last month's approved amount. A mismatch is the most common reason a pay app gets returned.
Many GCs make you use their schedule of values template and approve it before your first billing. We set it up once and keep every month consistent with it.
Plenty of NJ and NYC jobs want a draft "pencil" requisition before the formal one. We send it early, take the GC's markups, and finalize without surprises.
Billing a change that isn't signed can get the whole application held. Approved changes get their own lines. Pending ones stay on the log until they're executed.
Many GCs require a notarized G702 and specific signatures. We flag exactly what needs a signature or a notary so nothing comes back unsigned.
A conditional waiver for this request, an unconditional one for last month's payment, stored-material invoices and photos, and certified payroll on prevailing wage jobs.
HOW WE DO IT
The same six steps every month, on every job.
Contract value, SOV, retainage rate, GC forms, portal and cutoff date, entered once.
A reminder before our intake date. Your PM replies with % complete by line, or fills a two-minute form.
Pay app in the GC's format, SOV update, retainage, executed change orders and backup.
Our checklist review, then a second reviewer: math, prior billing, retainage, signatures, backup.
Pencil draft to the GC where required, revisions made, final package to you to approve and sign.
Uploaded to Procore, GCPay, Textura or email. Logged and tracked until it's paid.
MONTHLY BACKUP
Missing backup holds up more payments than bad math does.
