As an owners representative, a major point of delay in processing payments to General Contractors is caused by the mismatch in the value of the payments made to date and shown on partial lien waivers from subcontractors not aligning with the schedule of values reflected on the AIA Continuation Sheet, G703 for Stipulated Fee Contracts (AIA A101 and other stipulated fee forms). I have always assumed this is to be expected due to the intent of a Stipulated Fee contract for Progress Payments which are based on % complete progress. However, more and more of our clients are demanding that during Progress Payments the subcontractor lien waivers should closely align, if not exactly align, with the specific value of the applicable on the SOV. Which is the correct interpretation or what is the correct interpretation if neither is correct. thank you
