What is the difference between AIA G702 and G703?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
AIA G702 is the application for payment form, while G703 is the continuation sheet that details the work completed. G702 summarizes the total amount due, and G703 breaks down each line item, showing percentages of completion and retainage for each item.
Key points
- G702 is the payment application summary form.
- G703 provides a detailed breakdown of work completed.
- G703 shows percentages of completion and retainage.
G702 is typically submitted by the contractor to the owner or GC to request payment for work done. It includes the total amount being billed. G703, as an attachment to G702, lists individual line items, making it easier to see how much of each part of the project is completed and what retainage is being held.
