Can I break out my schedule of values by footings, walls, slabs, and the form/reinforce/place steps?

Yes. You build the SOV line by line, so you can itemize by structural element, by floor or pour area, and split each element into forming, reinforcing, and place/finish. You set percent-complete on each line every billing period, and the G703 carry-forward columns update automatically.

How does DrawFort handle reinforcing steel I've stored but haven't placed yet?

Bill it in the materials-presently-stored column against the relevant line. DrawFort applies retainage to stored materials separately, and as the steel gets placed you move that value into work completed without double-billing. Balance to finish updates automatically.

Will my pay app work with my general contractor's software?

Yes. DrawFort exports a clean AIA-style G702 and G703 PDF you can email to any GC, owner, or architect. It's standalone and works regardless of what system they use — no QuickBooks required.

What does it cost for a concrete subcontractor?

Free to start with no credit card. After that it's a flat $34/month for your whole team — no per-seat fees, no annual contract, and never a percentage of your contract value. There's also a free, no-signup G702/G703 generator at drawfort.com/tools/g702-g703-generator.

Pay application and G702 software for concrete contractors

Commercial concrete billing rarely fits a one-line invoice. Your schedule of values gets broken out by element and pour sequence — footings, foundation walls, slab-on-grade, elevated decks — and most lines are split into forming, reinforcing, and place/finish so you can bill labor as it actually progresses. On top of that you're carrying fabricated rebar as stored material, holding retainage on every line, and folding in change orders, all of which has to tie out on an AIA-style G702/G703 every month.

How concrete subs bill — and where it goes wrong

Percent-complete on three-step line items

Concrete is billed by forming, then reinforcing, then place/finish on each element, so a single footing line can be partly formed, partly tied, and not yet poured at cutoff. Setting each step's percentage correctly across dozens of elements — and carrying it forward month to month — is where errors and GC rejections start.

Billing fabricated rebar before it's placed

Reinforcing steel and PT tendons are fabricated and delivered weeks ahead of the pour. You're carrying real money in stored material that has to land in the materials-presently-stored column, get its own retainage, then move into work completed once it's placed — all without double-billing.

Retainage on a long, labor-heavy SOV

A concrete SOV can run dozens of lines broken out by element, floor, and pour sequence. Holding 5-10% retainage on every line, tracking retainage separately on stored materials, and reconciling 'less previous certificates' each period is tedious and easy to get wrong by hand.

Change orders that reshape the SOV mid-job

Added footings, deepened foundations, extra embeds, or revised slab thickness arrive as change orders that have to fold into the schedule of values without breaking prior billings. GCs bounce pay apps when the contract sum, approved COs, and carry-forward columns don't tie out to the penny.

A typical concrete schedule of values

These are the kinds of line items concrete contractors put on a G703 continuation sheet. DrawFort tracks each one across every billing period — percent complete, stored materials, retainage, and balance to finish.

Mobilization, layout & control
Spread footings & pile caps — formwork
Reinforcing steel (rebar) — furnish, place & tie
Footings & foundation walls — concrete place & finish
Grade beams — form, reinforce & place
Slab-on-grade — fine grade, vapor barrier & welded wire reinforcing
Slab-on-grade — concrete place, finish & cure
Elevated slabs & decks — forming, shoring & reshoring
Cast-in-place columns & shear walls — form, reinforce & place
Anchor bolts, embed plates & dowels — set & cast-in
Concrete stairs, landings & equipment/housekeeping pads
Site concrete — sidewalks, curbs & exterior flatwork

How DrawFort helps concrete contractors

Build the schedule of values the way concrete actually bills — itemize by structural element, by floor or pour area, and split each element into forming, reinforcing, and place/finish — then set percent-complete on each line every period.
Carry-forward fills itself: Column D (work completed from previous applications) populates automatically and 'less previous certificates' is computed, so even a long concrete SOV ties out every month without hand math.
Handle stored rebar and PT correctly — bill them in the materials-presently-stored column, apply retainage on stored materials, and let the value move into work completed and update balance to finish as it gets placed.
Fold change orders into the SOV without breaking prior pay apps; the contract sum, approved change orders, and continuation-sheet totals recompute so the G702 and G703 stay reconciled.
Export a clean AIA-style G702/G703 PDF you can email to any GC, owner, or architect regardless of their software — standalone, no QuickBooks required, with a free no-signup generator to try first.

Stop building pay apps in a spreadsheet

DrawFort fills in the carry-forward, computes retainage and current payment due, handles change orders, and exports a clean G702/G703 PDF your GC can approve at a glance.
