What does a Payment Application in ConstructionOnline include?
When exported, a ConstructionOnline Payment Application generates a complete billing document that consists of two components:
- Application Cover — The high-level financial summary of the project at the time of billing, including the Original Contract Amount, Total Change Orders, Contract Amount to Date, Completed to Date, Retainage, Current Payment Due, and Balance to Finish. The cover also includes a Change Order Summary table, a Contractor's Application for Payment certification section, and an Architect's Certification for Payment section.
- Continuation Sheet(s) — A line-item breakdown of the full Schedule of Values, generated directly from the Project Estimate. Continuation Sheets track completion percentages and amounts billed per line item across every billing period. Depending on the number of line items in the Project Estimate, the exported document may include multiple Continuation Sheets.
