Amount over-billed

$360,000

Claimed value

$2,160,000

How the math works

Claimed = item × claimed %. Actual = item × actual %. Over-billed = claimed − actual.

$3M × 72% = $2.16M claimed. Actual 60% = $1.8M. $360k over-billed — investigate and withhold.

How to Use

  1. Enter SOV line item value.
  2. Enter % complete claimed.
  3. Enter % complete actual (audited).
  4. Read variance and over-billing risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SOV?

Schedule of Values breakdown of contract by line item with dollar value for each. GC bills pay application based on % complete per line. Owner reviews against physical progress. Discrepancies suggest over-billing.

Detecting over-billing?

On-site walk comparing claimed % to observed. Photo review. Measurement (drywall up, roof percentage). Lien waivers submitted check. Independent construction mgr/owner's rep for material projects. Front-loaded over-billing is #1 issue.

Consequences?

Short-term: GC gets paid more than work delivered. Long-term: if GC fails mid-project, owner has paid for incomplete work; can't recover. Over-billing 5-15% over actual is common risk. 20%+ red-flag level.

How often should I rerun this?

Rerun this calculator whenever inputs change materially — new rent roll data, rate moves, loan balance updates, or quarterly operating data. For active deals, monthly refresh is typical. For stabilized assets under monitoring, quarterly is fine. Treat the output as a decision tool, not a one-time answer — market conditions evolve and so should your analysis.
