A schedule of values is set up with budget amounts in the applicable trade, with complete and total balancing to the contract amount.
Subcontractors submit progress applications to meet the timing called out on the contract.
Any subcontractor supplier that has filed a 20 day preliminary is called and any outstanding balance owed on the job will be handled with a joint check.
These applications along with any vendor invoices are entered onto the schedule of values in the “this period” column.
The amounts cause a compilation in the % column. When all amounts are entered, the %’s are checked line by line with the field superintendent to insure nothing is too high or too low.
All totals are entered on the Application & Certificate for payment, AIA document G702.
Lien releases are made to reflect new billings and also any previous payments.
Any owner approved change orders are added to the schedule of values and included in the billing at the appropriate billing cycle.
