Getting paid shouldn't mean rebuilding the contract in a spreadsheet

Claim off the contract you signed

Every pay application bills against the frozen Schedule of Values, so what you claim reconciles to the contract sum you agreed, with no re-keyed workbook that drifts.

The money-in picture, current

Claimed, certified, paid, outstanding, and retainage held stay live across the job, instead of living in someone's head.

Speaks your market's language

Progress claim or pay application, retention or retainage, and a claim document that matches your market.

Everything a pay application needs, in one place

From claiming against the frozen SOV to a clean document out the door.

Pay applications are the money-in side of Win to Pay

They build directly on the Schedule of Values: once your SOV baseline is frozen, that locked breakdown becomes the spine every claim bills against, so what you claim from the client reconciles to the contract sum you agreed. Approved head-contract change orders flow through the SOV onto your claims, badged by change order. Where bills track what you owe your subcontractors and suppliers, pay applications track what the client owes you, closing the loop on the whole job.

Frequently asked questions

Your frozen Schedule of Values. Once you've locked your contract sum in Ledger, every pay application bills directly against that baseline, so the value you claim always reconciles to the contract you agreed, with no extra setup.

Per line, as percent complete this period. The claim amount computes automatically from the locked line value, and previous claims carry forward, so each period is the work in place since you last claimed.

Automatically. Retainage is withheld at certification on the rate and cap set on your contract, and the running total held is tracked for you, with no manual deduction each period.

All of them. It's the same instrument under different names, a period-by-period claim against the agreed schedule, and the issued document matches your market, whether that's an AU progress claim or an AIA-style G702/G703 for North American teams.

Each claim moves through claimed, certified, and paid, and you record settlement as it lands. The money-in picture, claimed, certified, paid, outstanding, and retainage held, stays current across the job.
