AIA Progress Billing Software (G702 / G703) for Contractors
Run monthly pay applications with retainage, the way commercial jobs actually pay
Bill larger commercial jobs the way owners and architects expect: a monthly Application and Certificate for Payment (G702) backed by a Schedule of Values continuation sheet (G703), with retainage held and released on schedule. BuildCrux builds the Schedule of Values straight from your winning estimate so it foots to the contract by construction, then runs each draw with per-line percent complete, stored materials, and retainage. The owner or architect certifies and signs on a secure link (they can certify less than requested), and the certified amount becomes an invoice in your existing accounts-receivable, Stripe, and QuickBooks pipeline. No more rebuilding a G702 in a spreadsheet every month, and no more draws rejected because the Schedule of Values does not tie back to the contract.
What you get
AIA Progress Billing (G702 / G703) — frequently asked questions
Which BuildCrux plan includes AIA G702 / G703 progress billing?
AIA progress billing is included on the Office ($349/mo) and Enterprise ($999/mo) plans, the tiers built for contractors running commercial work. If you mainly run residential jobs on a lower tier, this is one of the features that comes with moving up to Office.
Do I have to build the Schedule of Values by hand every month?
No. BuildCrux builds the Schedule of Values straight from your winning estimate so it foots to the contract sum, and a live foot-check banner blocks any draw whose values don't tie back to the contract. Each pay application then runs the G703 line math automatically, including completed plus stored, percent complete, balance to finish, and retainage per line.
Can the owner or architect certify a lower amount than I billed?
Yes. You send a secure certification link, they review the G702 and G703, and they can certify less than you requested before signing on screen. Once certified, that amount becomes a normal BuildCrux invoice that flows through your existing Stripe and QuickBooks pipeline.
Does it handle retainage and the final release?
It tracks retainage per line, includes stored materials in the retainage base the way owners actually hold money, and shows held-to-date and certified-to-date on a retainage tracker. At closeout, a final retainage-release application turns the withheld money into the last draw. You can also download the G702 and G703 as a PDF in the standard layout your owners already recognize.
