Where can I find a pay application template for US construction?

Last reviewed July 5, 2026

You can find pay application templates from AIA, ConsensusDocs, or your state's construction industry association. Many GCs have their own versions they prefer, so check your contract documents for specific requirements.

Key points

  • AIA and ConsensusDocs offer standard templates.
  • State construction associations may have resources.
  • GCs often provide their own pay application formats.

Pay applications are important for getting paid on time. Use the correct format based on your contract or the GC's requirements. A standard template helps organize your costs, retainage, and any change orders accurately.
