AIA G703 / Schedule of Values — Continuation Sheet
Updated May 18, 2026
AIA G703, the Continuation Sheet for the G702 Application for Payment, is the line-by-line schedule of values that backs every draw — broken out by work item, with columns for scheduled value, work completed, materials stored, and retainage.
What G703 actually is
Where the G702 is a one-page summary, the G703 is the detailed line-by-line backing. It lists every component of the contract — typically by trade, work item, or CSI division — and shows where you stand on each line: scheduled value, work completed in this period, work completed in prior periods, materials stored on or off site, total completed and stored to date, percentage complete, balance to finish, and retainage.
The G703 is what tells a story. If you want to know whether the framer is 60% done or 80%, whether the kitchen allowance has been drawn against, or whether stored countertops are sitting on a manufacturer's floor — it's in the G703. Every column has a purpose, and every cell has to reconcile.
The columns explained
A standard G703 has nine columns:
- A — Item No. Sequential line item number.
- B — Description of Work. Trade, division, or work item.
- C — Scheduled Value. Total contract value for that line. Sum of column C = total contract value.
- D — Work Completed From Previous Application. Cumulative through prior draws.
- E — Work Completed This Period. New work in current billing period.
- F — Materials Presently Stored. Materials on site (or off site if contract permits) not yet incorporated.
- G — Total Completed and Stored to Date. D + E + F. The number that flows up to G702.
- H — % (G ÷ C). Percent complete on that line.
- I — Balance to Finish (C − G). Remaining contract value.
- J — Retainage. Withheld on that line. Sum of column J = total retainage withheld.
Where G703 review usually fails
1. Front-loaded line items. A common pattern: subcontractors bill 60% on a line that's actually 35% done, knowing later draws will catch up. The line item arithmetic ties, but the work doesn't match the percentage. Catching this requires field verification against the percentage claimed.
2. Materials stored without delivery proof. Column F allows billing for materials stored on or off site, but most contracts require a bill of sale, delivery receipt, and insurance evidence. Stored materials are frequently billed without that backup.
3. Column G doesn't equal D + E + F. Arithmetic errors at the line level are extremely common on hand-prepared G703s, especially after a change order is added mid-project.
4. Sum of column C drifts from contract. When change orders are added, the scheduled value column should be updated to reflect them. Frequently it isn't — and the G703 quietly bills against an outdated contract value.
How Kiron verifies G703 automatically
Ella reads every G703 line by line. She validates the arithmetic on every row (G = D + E + F, I = C − G, H = G ÷ C), reconciles the column totals back to the G702, matches the scheduled value column against your contract plus approved change orders, and compares this period's percentages to last period's — flagging any line where the percentage jumped faster than physical progress would explain.
She also reads the supporting documents — delivery slips, bills of sale, insurance certificates — for materials stored. If a line in column F doesn't have backing documentation in the same draw, it's flagged automatically.
Frequently asked
What's the difference between G703 and a schedule of values?
G703 IS the schedule of values, formatted as the AIA continuation sheet. Some contracts use the term 'schedule of values' generically to refer to any line-by-line breakdown, but in U.S. construction the G703 form is the most common implementation. You can have a schedule of values in Excel — it has the same columns and reconciles the same way.
Can a sub change the schedule of values mid-project?
The scheduled value column (C) should only change when a change order modifies the contract. If a sub wants to re-allocate value between line items (e.g., shift value from rough framing to finish framing), it requires a formal scope reallocation — not a quiet G703 edit. Kiron flags any G703 where column C totals or per-line values change without a corresponding approved CO.
How do I detect front-loading on a G703?
Compare percentage complete (column H) on each line to physical progress visible on site or in photos. If a sub bills 60% on plumbing rough-in but the plumber hasn't completed the third-floor rough, the percentages don't match reality. Kiron's Ella flags lines where the period-over-period jump in column G is inconsistent with typical trade progress curves.
What's the right retainage to withhold per line?
Set by contract — typically 5–10% across all lines, though some contracts allow reduced retainage after a milestone or zero retainage on stored materials. The retainage column (J) must reflect whatever the contract requires. Errors here trap cash on the sub side and create disputes at substantial completion.
Are AIA G702 and G703 free to use?
AIA forms are copyrighted by the American Institute of Architects. Single-use copies can be purchased from AIA Contract Documents, and AIA members get reduced pricing. Many contractors use the official AIA software or buy individual forms. Free spreadsheet versions exist but are not officially sanctioned and may not be accepted on contracts that specifically call for AIA documents.
