Contractor AIA Payment Application Agent
Processes contractor AIA G702/G703 payment applications, validating percent-complete billing against site progress before releasing construction payments.
Processing monthly AIA G702/G703 payment applications from general contractors and subcontractors is a manual reconciliation nightmare, requiring accounts payable staff to cross-check billed percentages against actual field progress, retainage calculations, and prior payment history line by line
Errors or inflated percent-complete claims that slip through create overpayment risk and strained owner-contractor relationships
This agent automates validation of each payment application against the schedule of values, retainage terms, and independently reported site progress, flagging discrepancies before funds are released
It compiles the certified payment package with lien waivers attached, ready for owner or lender approval
The agent extracts line-item data from submitted G702/G703 forms and reconciles it against the contract's schedule of values and prior payment applications to calculate the correct current payment due, including retainage withholding. It cross-references the billed percent-complete against independently sourced site progress data from daily logs or inspection reports to flag over-billing. The agent verifies that required lien waivers and compliance documents are attached, then compiles a certified payment package with a variance report for the reviewing project manager, routing it for final approval and payment release.
