LIEN WAIVERS, AIA BILLING, AND RETAINAGE

§ INVOICING + PAYMENTS4 min READUPDATED 2026-08

Construction-grade paperwork — lien waivers, AIA G702/G703 progress billing, milestones, and retainage tracking.

Commercial and GC work runs on formal paperwork: lien waivers before checks are released, AIA payment applications for progress billing, retainage held until closeout. Revolve Core keeps these on the same financial rails as everything else, reachable from the customer and from a company-wide construction suite.

WHERE: CUSTOMERS → open a customer → FINANCIALS tab → QUICK ACTIONS

§From a customer

  • § LIEN WAIVER — generate a lien waiver in an in-place modal, without leaving the tab.
  • ◆ AIA G702/G703 — produce the standard AIA payment-application forms for progress billing.
  • ± CHANGE ORDER — get scope changes on the record before they hit a pay application.

§The construction suite

For the company-wide view, open JOBS → CONSTRUCTION. It groups six areas: Change Orders, Lien Waivers, Milestones, Progress Billing, AIA Forms, and Retainage.

  • Milestones — the progress checkpoints a job bills against.
  • Progress billing — billing in stages as the work completes rather than one invoice at the end.
  • Retainage — tracking the held-back percentage until it is released.

§Where it shows up

Change orders recorded here appear in the CHANGE ORDERS section of the customer’s FINANCIALS tab and on their TIMELINE. Change-order requests from subcontractors route through the APPROVALS queue first, so nothing lands in the numbers without sign-off.

TIP
See "Deposits and change orders" in this category for the change-order flow, and "The construction suite" in JOBS + STAGES for the operational side of milestones and progress billing.
