Construction
The contractor fills in the work completed on each Schedule of Values line, signs and submits. You review the application and certify the amount, with open punch list value held back.
What it does
Upload a G703 PDF, check the AI-extracted lines under "Staged line items" and press "Create Schedule of Values", or type the lines in one at a time. A pill reads "Matches contract" when the lines add up to the current contract.
In "Build SOV / Document PAC" mode the contractor enters the work completed on each line of the continuation sheet. In "PDF review (upload + certify)" mode they upload their own application instead, and the amount requested can be read from the PDF.
The contractor checks their name and title and presses "Sign & submit to Architect". Their saved signature image, or their typed name, signs the application, and each period can be billed only once.
A badge counts the days left for your review. Mark up the application in ARK View or Bluebeam, add review notes, then press "Certify" with the certified amount, or "Reject" to return it for revision. With two-part review on, only the Primary Architect certifies.
Each application carries its own retainage, and open punch list value is held back from what can be certified. On the last application, tick "This is the final pay application (release retainage)" to include the retainage held on earlier ones.
The current contract includes issued change orders. Until the Schedule of Values carries a change, its pill reads "Differs from current contract by" and the amount, so the lines and the contract never drift apart unnoticed.
