Billing

The process of submitting invoices to the owner each month for work completed and materials stored.

Definition

In construction, billing refers to the process of submitting periodic payment applications to the owner for work completed and materials stored during the billing period. Contractors submit billings monthly, typically using AIA G702/G703 forms or owner-specified formats, supported by a schedule of values, lien waivers, and certified payroll where required. Timely and accurate billing is critical to maintaining positive cash flow.
