AIA Billing

A standardized billing format using AIA G702/G703 forms common in construction for progress payments.

Definition

AIA billing refers to the use of American Institute of Architects standard forms G702 (Application and Certificate for Payment) and G703 (Continuation Sheet) for progress billing in construction. These forms provide a structured format for contractors to request payment based on percentage of work completed per line item.

Why It Matters

AIA forms are the industry standard for construction progress billing. Proper processing ensures payments align with actual work completed and prevents overpayment on incomplete work.

Examples

G702/G703 submission

Subcontractor submits G702 showing $150,000 total application with G703 breaking down progress by schedule of values line items.

Verifying completion

Project manager reviews G703 to confirm that claimed 60% completion on concrete work matches field observations.
