What it does

Owner billings that don't slip a cycle.

01

Builds the pay app from cost data.

SOV, % complete, stored materials, retainage. Calculated against your schedule of values and last cycle's billing. Mirrors prior pay app structure line for line.

02

Calls PMs to confirm work-in-place.

"Cedar Grove pay app 7: line 04 framing at 68%, you agree?" Logs the answer to the job. Updates the SOV before the draft goes out.

03

Lines up the lien waivers.

Conditional waivers from every lower-tier sub before this cycle's bill releases. Unconditional waivers for prior cycle. Missing waivers block the bill until they land.

04

Delivers the draft before cutoff.

PM-approved draft to the controller 48 hours before the contract billing date. Pencil corrections come back, get applied, final goes to the owner on time.
