APPIA
Pay Item Management and Estimate Generation
Reporting to external stakeholders during a construction project can be as time-consuming as managing the project itself. Tracking down data, providing progress reports to owners or elected officials, and reporting to state DOTs can quickly eat up a project manager’s time
Are pay item management and estimate generation eating up too much time in your busy schedule?
When we talk to engineering firms and local agencies, we often hear about the following challenges with pay item management:
-
Pay item management requires the work of a full-time administrator just to keep pace
-
Tabulating quantities and reviewing contractor work manually can lead to mistakes and incorrect payments
-
Payment delays can cause cash flow issues for contractors and delay projects

Pay item management and estimate generation testimonials
Trying to manage that many pay items manually would have been a nightmare. It wouldn’t have worked. It would have required a full-time administrator just to manage the paperwork. Appia eliminates the need for someone to have to do that.
Tom Nead
Regional Manager, FHU
A pay estimate would take 2-3 hours to put together, check all the numbers, and transfer between programs. It was pretty awesome to go from that to being able to do it basically any time. With Appia, not having to be in my office is even better.
Bradley Utz, Construction Manager, City of Terre Haute
Pay item tracking through the Appia service has saved innumerable hours of tabulating quantities and reviewing work performed with the contractor.
