Using G702®–1992.

After the Contractor has completed AIA Document G703, Continuation Sheet, summary information should be transferred to AIA Document G702®, Application and Certificate for Payment.

The Contractor should sign G702®, have it notarized, and submit it, together with G703, to the Architect.

The Architect should review G702® and G703 and, if they are acceptable, complete the Architect’s Certificate for Payment on G702®.

The Architect may certify a different amount than that applied for, pursuant to Sections 9.5 and 9.6 of AIA Document A201®. The Architect should then initial all figures on G702® and G703 that have been changed to conform to the amount certified and attach an explanation. The completed G702® and G703 should be forwarded to the Owner.

Making Payment

The Owner should make payment directly to the Contractor based on the amount certified by the Architect on AIA Document G702®, Application and Certificate for Payment. The completed form contains the name and address of the Contractor. Payment should not be made to any other party unless specifically indicated on G702®.
