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 Profit Fade?
Profit Fade, in the construction industry, refers to a situation where the projected profit margins on a project decrease as the project progresses. This typically occurs when actual job costs exceed the initial estimates, resulting in a decrease in the anticipated profit. For instance, unforeseen complications, increased material prices, labor overruns, or errors in bidding can all contribute to profit fade. It's essential for construction firms to have systems in place for tracking job costs and updating profit projections to manage profit fade effectively. Proactive financial management can minimize the impact of profit fade and maintain project profitability.
What is a Lien?
A lien, particularly in the construction industry, is a legal claim or right that a contractor, sub-contractor, or supplier places on a property at which they have rendered services or supplied materials, but haven't been paid. Essentially, it's a security interest granted over an item of property to secure the payment of a debt or performance of some other obligation. If the property owner does not fulfill the financial obligation, the lien holder may seek legal action to enforce their rights and might even result in the compulsory selling of the property to pay off the debt. Liens are crucial elements in construction law, ensuring parties are fairly compensated for their work and supplies provided.
What is Davis-Bacon?
Davis-Bacon refers to the Davis-Bacon Act of 1931, a pivotal labor law in the United States that impacts the construction industry. Established by Congress, this act ensures that workers on federal construction projects are paid at least the locally prevailing wages and fringe benefits for corresponding work on similar projects in the area. This commonly applies to federally funded or assisted construction projects such as public buildings, highways or dams. The main goal of this law is to prevent non-local or out-of-state contractors from low-balling local firms on wages, providing a level playing field for all contractors and protecting local labor markets.
