AIA Schedule of Values for G703 Pay Applications: How GCs Set Up SOV Lines Without Rebuilding Excel

To set up an AIA schedule of values for a G703 pay application, break the contract sum into CSI phase lines that stay consistent all job, type the scheduled value on each line, add approved change orders as their own rows, bill progress from Gantt percent complete, post Stored materials when product is on site, then complete G703 columns from that same record before you roll totals to G702. This is operational guidance, not a free Excel SOV template download.

AIA G702 and G703 Pay Application Instructions (From the SOV, Not Excel)

To fill out an AIA G702 pay application, keep the schedule of values honest (including approved change orders), update schedule percent complete from the Gantt, post Stored materials when product is delivered but not installed, generate the G702/G703-style draft from that same record, then attach daily-log and photo backup. This is operational guidance, not a free Excel template download.

Change Orders That Never Get Paid: Turn Field Directives into Defensible CORs

To get paid for field extras, capture the directive the same day in your daily log, quantify labor and materials, record schedule impact, submit the COR before the lag tax, and approve the change into your SOV so the next pay app stays honest.
