Pay Applications
The biggest recurring money event on the project, made airtight.
A pay app is a sworn statement tied to lien rights. Walter maintains the schedule of values, reconciles percent-complete against field reality, assembles the G702/G703 with backup, and hard-blocks the release queue until lien waivers are complete. Humans certify and release.
The problem
What this costs you today — and what Walter does instead.
The pain
Billing cutoffs get missed and cash waits another month.
With Walter
The contractual submission window is a tracked deadline with daily pings inside 72 hours.
The pain
Payments go out without waivers — and then get paid twice.
With Walter
The release queue is hard-blocked on waiver completeness; only a privileged human can release with a documented exception.
The pain
Sub overbillings slip into the prime billing before anyone checks the field.
With Walter
Each sub billing is checked against commitment balance, field percent-complete, retainage, and waiver status before it enters the prime.
The workflow
How Walter runs it.
- 01
SOV maintenance
Keep the schedule of values current; incorporate approved prime COs the same cycle and flag unbilled approved COs.
- 02
Sub pay app review
Check each sub billing against commitment, field reality, retainage, prior payments, backcharges, and waivers.
- 03
Prime draft
Assemble G702/G703 with PM-confirmed percent-complete, stored-material backup, and reconciled change orders.
- 04
The waiver gate
Collect conditional waivers with each billing and unconditional waivers for prior payments before releasing the next.
- 05
Submit & chase
Calendar the submission window, track certification and payment due dates, then chase politely and formally.
- 06
Reconcile
Match payment received, update the retainage ledger, and report over/under-billing to accounting for WIP.
Human in the loop
What stays your call.
- Submitting the pay app, certifying percent-complete, and releasing payments are human-only and never graduate.
- The waiver-completeness gate cannot be overridden by Walter.
- Retainage and billing arithmetic is exact, fat-coded, and always shown.
What you get
Outputs.
- G702/G703 package with backup
- Sub billing review queue
- Waiver status board
- Billing calendar
- Over/under-billing report
Hands off to
It doesn't work alone.
Walter's workflows share one construction brain, so a signal in one becomes action in the next — automatically.
