Schedule of Values (AIA G703)
Schedule of Values (AIA G703)
The Schedule of Values (AIA G703), often referred to as SOV, is a crucial financial document in construction projects. It breaks down the total contract sum into individual work items, ensuring every aspect of the project is accounted for. Each item on the SOV corresponds to a specific task or phase of work, thereby providing transparency and detailed tracking of progress. This structured breakdown is essential for accurate billing and payment processing. When paired with the AIA G702 Payment Application form, it ensures that billing aligns with the actual progress on-site. By utilizing the SOV, contractors and subcontractors can submit payment requests that reflect the percentage of work completed. As a result, the process becomes more transparent and disputes are less likely.
Key Features
- Detailed Breakdown: Cloud PM's SOV feature allows you to list all work items with their corresponding values. This ensures comprehensive project representation and improves billing clarity.
- Accurate Billing: In Cloud PM, the SOV and AIA G702 payment applications are already linked. This built-in connection keeps billing consistent and aligned with completed work.
- Progress Tracking: Easily monitor the percentage of work completed for each item on the SOV. This helps you maintain a clear and accurate view of your project’s financial health.
- Flexible Presentation Options: You can display Products and Services individually, or organize them into Groups and QuickBooks Bundles.
