What is a G703?
A G703 is a continuation sheet used in the construction industry. It's part of the AIA (American Institute of Architects) document set for contract documents. The G703 form includes a schedule of values listing portions of the work, scheduled values, work completed, materials stored, total completed and stored, percentage of work completed, balance to finish, and the amount of change orders. Hence, it is primarily used for breaking down the contract sum into portions of work in accordance with a schedule of values prepared by the contractor. It provides a running total of completed work and can be updated as work progresses.

What is Credit?
Credit in the construction industry refers to the financial trust extended to a company or contractor, enabling them to procure goods or services with the understanding that they will pay for these in the future, typically with added interest. Credit is instrumental in this industry, as it often involves huge capital investments upfront, long before the revenue from the completed project is realized. A company's creditworthiness or ability to repay, is a determining factor in receiving credit. Construction companies frequently use lines of credit for purchasing equipment, hiring labor, buying supplies, and meeting emergency expenses. Moreover, credit facilitates smooth cash flow, allowing construction projects to progress without financial hiccups.
What is Cost Plus Billing?
Cost Plus Billing in the construction industry refers to a method where the customer agrees to cover the actual costs, expenses and other direct costs of the construction project plus an additional sum for contractor’s overhead and profit. These typically include costs of materials, labor, and subcontractor charges. The agreement clearly establishes and defines what is constituted as cost, the overhead percentage, and the profit percentage, reducing the risk of any surprise costs. Essentially, the 'Cost' represents the direct costs of the construction, while the 'Plus' is the contractor's fee and is usually agreed upon as a fixed percentage of the total costs or as a target price with a shared savings clause.
What is a Performance Bond?
A Performance Bond is a type of surety bond issued by an insurance company or a bank to guarantee satisfactory completion of a project by a contractor. In the construction industry, a Performance Bond is often required to protect the client if the contractor fails to complete the contract or does not meet the agreed standards or time frame in performing the project. It is essentially a safeguard tool that ensures the project owner will not incur financial loss due to the contractor's inability to fulfill the contract. This bond provides assurance that the contractor has the necessary resources and competencies to execute the project according to the stipulated terms.
