Pay-App Requirements for Turner Construction Subcontractors

Turner Construction is the largest commercial GC in the United States by revenue. They run pay-app intake through Procore (primary) plus internal tools depending on the region. Their sub billing team is automated enough that packets failing pre-flight checks bounce within hours of submission, and manual enough that a human-readable exception note can resolve a soft reject if you catch it early.

If you bill Turner monthly on AIA G702/G703, this page covers what their billing team requires, what bounces their packets, and the common reasons subs lose 30–60 days of cash on Turner work.

Portal & submission

• Primary portal: Procore (Turner is one of the largest Procore

customers and uses it for pay-app intake on most jobs).

• Regional variation: some Turner regions still use internal

tools or a Turner-customized Procore configuration; check your subcontract's payment-application addendum.

• Cutoff: typically the 25th of the month. Miss it and you

wait a full cycle.

• Pay cycle: 30 days from a clean submission, contractually.

Realistic expectation is 35–45 days from the cutoff.

Lien waiver form

This is the single most common Turner-specific rejection cause.

Turner requires their Conditional Waiver and Release (Form CW-PP-2024) for every progress payment. The standard AIA G706 will auto-bounce in their portal. Most subs new to Turner submit the AIA G706 and wait 24–48 hours before learning the packet failed pre-flight.

Form set you should keep on file per Turner job:

• CW-PP-2024 — Conditional Waiver on Progress Payment (every

cycle).

• UCW-PP-2024 — Unconditional Waiver on Progress Payment (only

after the prior period's check has cleared).

• CW-FP-2024 — Conditional Waiver on Final Payment.
• UCW-FP-2024 — Unconditional Waiver on Final Payment (only

after the final check has cleared).

Authorized signer: Turner requires waivers signed by a corporate officer on file with Turner's risk team. Estimator and PM signatures get rejected. Most subs we audit don't keep an authorized-signer roster per GC, so the estimator-signed waiver pattern is endemic.

Lower-tier waivers: Turner requires waivers from any vendor billed >$500 in the period. This includes equipment rentals, material suppliers, and 2nd-tier subs. Missing lower-tier waivers are the #4 rejection cause on Turner packets.

SOV and change-order reconciliation

Turner's intake validates the G703 column F sum against the G702 contract sum (line 1 + executed COs). The validation tolerance is tight — within rounding. Common failure pattern:

1. Change order #N is executed, signed, and billed.
2. The CO amount is added to the G702 (line 3 — change orders to

date) but the corresponding new line items are not added to the G703 continuation sheet.

1. G703 column F now sums $X below the G702 contract sum.
2. Packet auto-bounces.

Fix: before submission, reconcile your G703 against the live change-order log every cycle. Add a row to the G703 for every executed CO, even if the dollar value is zero (allowance reserves, no-cost time extensions).

Stored materials

Turner requires the following for any G703 line billing stored materials:

• Vendor invoice for the stored material.
• Photographs of the stored materials at the off-site location

(most subs include 4 photos: front and back of the pallet, label close-up showing serial numbers, and a wide shot showing the storage location).

• An off-site stored-materials insurance rider naming Turner as

additional insured.

• Bill of sale transferring title to Turner per the subcontract.

These are reproduced in Exhibit D of most Turner subcontracts.

Certified payroll (public works)

On federal projects, Turner requires WH-347 weekly. On state projects, the equivalent state form (e.g., California's DIR eCPR). Missing CPR uploads block your next pay app at the awarding-body level, not at Turner — but the practical effect is the same: no billing until the CPR is current.

If you're working a Turner federal project under Davis-Bacon, the WH-347 must be uploaded to Turner's documentation portal each week. Turner's PMs will typically not chase you for it; they'll simply withhold the next pay app until it's complete.

Top rejection causes on Turner packets

In SubCash's rejection taxonomy:

1. R024 — Turner project uses AIA G706 instead of required Exhibit F (top): AIA G706 in place of

CW-PP-2024.

1. R001 — SOV sum mismatch after change order.
2. R010 — Waiver signed by party without binding authority (estimator

instead of officer).

1. R017 — Stored materials missing photos (GC-specific) (missing

photos, COI rider, or bill of sale).

1. R021 — Certificate of Insurance expired before or during pay period mid-cycle.

FAQ

Q: Does Turner accept AIA G706 lien waivers? A: No. Turner requires their custom Form CW-PP-2024 for every progress payment. AIA G706 submissions auto-bounce in their portal.

Q: What is Turner's pay-app cutoff? A: Typically the 25th of the month, with payment due 30 days from a clean submission. Realistic time-to-cash is 35–45 days from cutoff once portal review and approval cycles are factored in.

Q: What's Turner's retainage schedule? A: 10% withheld until 50% complete, then 5% withheld through substantial completion. Released per the subcontract — typically 30–60 days post substantial-completion certificate.

Q: Can I sign a Turner waiver as a project manager? A: Probably not. Turner's risk team requires waivers signed by a corporate officer on file with Turner. PM and estimator signatures typically get rejected. Maintain an authorized-signer roster per GC and route your e-sign requests to the right person.

Q: How does SubCash help with Turner-specific packet prep? A: SubCash detects when a packet is bound for Turner and applies their rule overlay automatically: enforces CW-PP-2024 form usage, reconciles G702 against G703 against the executed CO log, routes e-sign to your authorized officer, validates stored-materials documentation, and tracks COI expiration ahead of Turner's verification window. The free Pay-App Checker shows the rule hits; the $499/mo SubCash OS subscription prevents them every cycle on every active job.
