Pay application software for concrete subcontractors
DrawPrep helps concrete subcontractors organize footings, walls, slabs and flatwork into a schedule of values and prepare G702/G703-style pay applications, with pour records and change orders kept alongside each period.
Billing challenges in concrete
Front-loaded schedules
Concrete work often lands early, so large billings happen in the first periods and retainage builds quickly.
Pour-based progress
Progress follows pours by area. Clear area-based lines make it simple to show what was placed.
Quantity changes
Unforeseen conditions can change quantities. Approved changes need to be reflected before billing.

Concrete billing questions
- Why does retainage matter so much for concrete subcontractors?
- Concrete work is often finished early, while retainage may be held until much later in the project. A clear history makes the held amount easy to follow.
- Should slabs be split by area?
- Splitting by pour area or level makes progress easier to verify and bill accurately.
- Can DrawPrep track retainage on this kind of job?
- Yes. You set the retainage rate the contract requires, and each pay application carries it forward and flags a rate that changes between periods so you can confirm it before sending.
