Why Outsource Your AIA Billing?

AIA billing requires precise formatting, exact contract references, and strict compliance with the G702/G703 forms that general contractors and owners demand.

A single error can delay payment by 30–60 days. Our specialists ensure every pay application is accurate, on time, and dispute-free — the first time.

With Apex handling your billing, you eliminate the cost of an in-house billing department while improving collection speed.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about working with Apex Trade Billing Solutions.

What is AIA billing?+
AIA billing refers to the standardized payment application forms developed by the American Institute of Architects — specifically the G702 (Application for Payment) and G703 (Continuation Sheet). These forms are required by most general contractors and owners on commercial construction projects to process subcontractor payments.
Who do you work with?+
We work exclusively with subcontractors in New York — trades including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, concrete, steel, drywall, and more. If you're a subcontractor submitting pay applications to a general contractor, we can help you.
How does the process work?+
It's simple. After onboarding, you send us your monthly work completion data — we handle everything else. We prepare your AIA pay application, Schedule of Values updates, and lien waivers, then submit them on your behalf or hand them off ready to go. You focus on the job; we handle the billing.
What is a Schedule of Values?+
A Schedule of Values (SOV) is a detailed breakdown of your contract that allocates value to each phase or line item of work. It's the foundation of your AIA billing — every pay application is based on it. A well-structured SOV maximizes your early cash flow and minimizes payment disputes throughout the project.
What are lien waivers and why do they matter?+
Lien waivers are legal documents you sign in exchange for payment — they waive your right to file a mechanics lien for the amount paid. General contractors require them before releasing payment. Signing the wrong type or an incorrect waiver can put your lien rights at risk. We prepare them accurately to protect you while keeping the payment process moving.
How do you handle change orders?+
We track all approved change orders, update your Schedule of Values accordingly, and ensure every dollar of added scope gets billed correctly. We also prepare the supporting documentation needed to avoid disputes. Many subcontractors lose significant money on change orders because of billing errors — we make sure that doesn't happen.
What is retainage and how do you help release it?+
Retainage is a percentage (typically 5–10%) withheld from each payment until project completion. It can represent a significant sum by the end of a project. We prepare your final pay application, retainage release request, and all supporting documentation to pursue the release of those funds as quickly as possible.
What is Online Notarizing (RON)?+
Remote Online Notarization (RON) allows your documents to be notarized entirely online — no in-person meeting required. Using audio-visual technology and a commissioned e-notary, your documents are legally notarized and digitally sealed. It's faster, more convenient, and fully compliant with New York State law.
How much does it cost?+
Our pricing is tailored to the size and complexity of your projects. We offer flat-rate monthly billing so there are no surprises. Contact us for a free consultation and custom quote — most clients find the cost is a fraction of what they'd pay for an in-house billing person, with better results.
