You shouldn't be rebuilding G702 and G703 by hand every month
Every month the same ritual: pull the schedule of values into a spreadsheet, work out percent complete per line, calculate retainage, line up lien waivers, and hand-key it all into a G702 and G703 so it ties out to the penny. One typo and the whole pay app is off.
The same numbers, retyped forever
The G702 summarizes the draw; the G703 breaks the SOV into line items — two sides of the same coin you reconcile by hand. Retainage at five or ten percent gets tracked separately. Pay-when-paid means you're matching what you've billed against what you've actually collected before you can pay subs. It's slow, it's error-prone, and it's the same work every single cycle.
Why off-the-shelf doesn't fit
The billing modules that automate this are bundled into platforms built for large GCs — full ERP weight, priced and configured for a different size of shop. So you keep your trusted Excel template and eat the manual hours, because at least the spreadsheet matches how you actually bill.
The schedule of values doesn't change every month. So why are you rebuilding the paperwork from scratch every month?
Make the pay app build itself
What you want is your own SOV driving the math — percent complete, retainage, waivers, pay-when-paid — and producing a clean G702/G703 you just review and sign. That's a focused build, not an enterprise rollout. APLINO's fractional C-suite team turns your billing process into software: a Blueprint of how you really cut a pay app, an MVP your office runs the next cycle, and ongoing engineering as you scale. Fractional CTO and senior engineers, shaped to your forms.

Your bid lives in one spreadsheet, your costs in another — and the gap is your margin
The estimate is in one file, the actuals in QuickBooks, and you only learn a job lost money at closeout. By then it's a lesson, not a fix.
