What documents are needed to evaluate a construction dispute?
What does a project’s recordkeeping reveal about contractor performance?
How should payment applications and construction draws be reviewed?
What information is required to evaluate delays or change orders?
How can lenders identify a potential funding shortfall?
What should be documented before corrective work begins?

Why a Payment Application Does Not, by Itself, Establish the Amount of Work Completed

It may show the original contract amount, approved change orders, work completed during the current billing period, stored materials, retainage and the balance remaining.
