AIA G702 G703

The payment application is used by subcontractors throughout America to make the procedure for receiving payments for work performed regulated and convenient for all parties to the process.

Such forms indicate the amount of payment paid for the work done for a certain period. This means that with these forms, you can receive regular payments even before the end of the project.

Usually, these papers take into account not only the terms of work but also the quality of the work done. Such a system helps to improve the level of quality of project execution without compromising the budget.

Difference Between Form 702 and Form 703

Form 702 is a kind of confirmation that the subcontractor has received payment for a portion of the project completed. This form must be signed by the architect and the employee to be valid. This form shows the costs of the project over the past period. Often Form 702 is required to file Form 703.

Form 703, in turn, is some interim report on the work done. This form is needed by the counter-correspondent and accounting since, with the help of form 03, you can track the progress of your project and the amount of work done. At the planning stage of the project, the architect and the contractor agree on how often this form should be provided, but most often about once a month.

How to Avoid Paper Filling Mistakes

The fact is that this paper is far from the easiest to fill out and submit. But at the same time, this is one of the most common forms of payment among architects and subcontractors.

It is important to fill out and submit the document correctly, as it will be difficult to correct mistakes after the paper has been submitted.

Below we will tell you about the most common mistakes that happen when filling out the form. We will tell you how you can avoid mistakes when filling out the paper to create a valid document.

Invalid Amount Specification

Since the employee issues an invoice for the work done, it is his responsibility to enter the correct data on paper. Some unscrupulous workers sometimes indicate a larger amount of work, even though this work has not been completed. This is done to get more money. Fortunately, such a scam is very easy to expose. If an incorrect amount of work is indicated, and therefore the amount of payment, further reports will not converge, and an error will be visible. Therefore, it is better to make the report correct once.

Incorrect Calculations, Calculation Errors, and Typos

If you incorrectly calculate the amount of work and the amount, your final reports will not converge. You should be very careful when calculating the cost of work. If you think that you cannot do it yourself, we recommend trying to do the calculations online or contact a professional. It is also worth checking the paper several times for typos and errors. It will be a shame if your paper is not accepted because of a tiny mistake.
