What is Net Income?
Net Income, in the construction industry, is a crucial financial measure representing the company's profitability after accounting for all expenses, tax obligations, and income from all sources. It is calculated by deducting operating costs, like labor, materials, equipment costs, overheads, taxes, and interest on loans, from the total revenue generated by the company. It is also known as net profit or bottom-line. The performance of a construction company and its ability to stay viable, fund its growth, or service its debts depend on its net income. A firm with a consistently high net income can attract investment, retain talent, and outlast competitors. Do note, though, that net income can fluctuate greatly in construction due to the project-based nature of the business.
What is Project Closeout?
Project Closeout in the construction industry refers to the final phase of a construction project lifecycle. It involves delivering the finished project to the client, settling all lined up financial matters, disposing project documents, and reflecting on what was learned during the project. A well-managed Project Closeout includes evaluating performance, capturing lessons learned for future projects, and ensuring the client is satisfied with the delivered work. As part of the process, Project Closeout usually includes a punch list, where minor repairs or modifications may need to be addressed even after the construction project has been generally completed. This ensures a high level of workmanship and customer satisfaction.
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.

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.
