Plain answers on the G702 and G703, for the people who send them and the people who check them, with worked examples and a free G702/G703 Excel template.
Subcontractors and GCs billing up the chain.
GCs, owners, lenders and bookkeepers checking what came in.
No account and no upload.
It builds and checks AIA-style G702/G703 pay applications. Subcontractors fill in the free builder and download a PDF. People who receive pay apps upload the PDF or Excel file, and every figure is read and checked: line items to column totals, retainage, and the G703 to the G702. Anything that does not tie is flagged with the expected figure, the stated figure, and the difference.
Both sides of the pay app. Subcontractors and GCs use the free builder to make the G702/G703 and check it before sending. GCs, owners, lenders and construction bookkeepers upload the pay apps they receive and see what does not tie before they certify payment.
Yes. The free builder takes your G703 lines and G702 details, checks the math, and downloads the G702/G703 as a PDF or a formula-linked Excel file. No account is needed.
Yes. Start next month carries each line’s D + E into next month’s Column D and this month’s Line 6 into next month’s Line 7, then clears this period’s work for you to fill in. Signed out, your pay app is kept in this browser only. With a free account it is saved to the account, so next month opens on any computer.
No. The PDF and the Excel template are styled after the AIA G702 and G703: the same columns, lines and arithmetic. PayAppCheck is not affiliated with the AIA. If your contract requires the official forms, buy them from AIA Contract Documents and use PayAppCheck to check the math.
Each line’s math, the column totals, retainage on Lines 5a and 5b, the G703-to-G702 handshake (the sum of Column G equals Line 4), and any line billed over 100%. With last month’s application on file it also checks the carry-forward: Column D against last month’s D + E, and Line 7 against last month’s Line 6.
The math catches it. If a single figure is off, the totals it feeds stop tying, so the line is flagged with expected against found and the dollar difference. Where the arithmetic pins the right value, PayAppCheck suggests it. You accept the fix or edit by hand, and nothing is final until you confirm.
PDFs, digital or scanned, and Excel files (.xlsx), which covers the G702 and G703 as they normally arrive, including custom G702-style layouts and long continuation sheets over several pages. Digital PDFs and Excel read best; on a scan, any figure that is hard to read is flagged for you to check.
On a flagged pay app, Request corrections turns the open flags into a plain-language letter: what is wrong, where, expected against found, and the dollar difference. Send it from your own email. Add a fix-it link and the sub sees the flagged figures and uploads the corrected file straight back, with no account on their side.
Nothing during Early Access: every feature, a monthly page allowance, and no card. The free builder needs no account at all. Pricing comes after Early Access, with notice before anything changes.
They are processed, then the original files are deleted automatically, within 7 days by default (you can choose sooner). PayAppCheck keeps the structured result, for 90 days by default and up to 1 year. Both windows are yours to set in account settings, and your data is never shown to other users.
Yes. POST a G702/G703 and get reconciled JSON back on a stable, versioned contract. Create a key in the API hub, build with sk_test_ keys for free (up to 10 pages per 24 hours), and subscribe to a webhook or poll for the result.
A pay application is the document that moves money on a US construction project. Once a month, each subcontractor submits a G702 certificate with a G703 continuation sheet behind it. The G703 breaks the contract into line items and states what each one is worth, what was billed in earlier periods, what is billed now, and what remains. The G702 rolls those columns up into nine lines that end in a payment amount. The two forms restate the same totals, which is what makes them checkable; start with the difference in G702 vs G703.
The receiver verifies every inbound application before certifying it. One wrong digit anywhere in the schedule changes the payment amount, and because this month’s Column D must equal last month’s D plus E, an error that gets paid repeats in every application after it. That verification is eight concrete checks, laid out in how to review a pay application. And when the certificate and the continuation sheet disagree outright, there are seven causes and a test that isolates each one: G703 doesn’t match the G702.
