Pay application software for drywall and framing subcontractors
DrawPrep helps drywall and metal framing subcontractors track progress by floor and operation and prepare G702/G703-style pay applications. Change orders for added walls or rework become schedule-of-values lines once approved.
Billing challenges in drywall & framing
Many repeating lines
Framing, board, tape and finish per floor quickly creates a long SOV. Line-level math keeps it accurate.
Rework and backcharges
Damage and late design changes create extra work. Track approved changes separately from base scope.
Labor-heavy billing
With mostly labor, percent complete is the main figure a GC reviews, so consistent measurement matters.

Drywall & framing billing questions
- How detailed should a drywall SOV be?
- Detail by floor and operation (frame, hang, finish) helps a GC verify progress. Too much detail adds entry work, so match what your GC expects.
- How should rework be billed?
- Rework ordered by others is normally billed through an approved change order, not added to base-scope lines.
- 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.
