Managing Progress Payments: A Complete Guide to AIA Billing is an essential guide for construction professionals who want to master one of the most important-and most misunderstood-financial processes in the industry. Designed for project coordinators, billing clerks, project managers, office managers, clerical staff, and owners, this book provides a clear roadmap for understanding and managing AIA billing with greater confidence, consistency, and accuracy.
In construction, billing mistakes can do more than delay payment. They can create rejections, trigger disputes, damage relationships, and weaken cash flow. This book tackles those challenges head-on by helping readers move from reactive corrections to proactive, accurate billing practices that support healthier projects and stronger financial performance.
Readers will learn the foundation of AIA billing, how to complete the AIA G702 and G703 forms, how to understand the Application and Certificate for Payment in detail, and how to use the continuation sheet effectively throughout the billing cycle. The book also explores change orders, stored materials, efficiency, accuracy, dispute prevention, and the role billing plays in strengthening trust between contractors and owners.
Practical, accessible, and built for the real world of construction, Managing Progress Payments helps readers reduce errors, avoid unnecessary setbacks, improve financial administration, and keep projects moving forward with greater clarity and control.
