Managing GC Information

General Contractor (GC) information is essential for billing. RIVET uses this data to correctly address pay applications and route documents to the right people.

Why GC Information Matters

Accurate GC information ensures:

• Pay applications are properly addressed
• G702 forms include correct owner and contractor details
• Lien waivers reference the correct parties
• Email notifications reach the right recipients
• Document submissions go to the correct address

Required Information

GC Company Name

Enter the GC's full legal business name as it appears on your contract. This appears on:

• Line 2 of AIA G702 (Contractor)
• Lien waivers (as the party the waiver is addressed to)
• Email correspondence

GC Address

The GC's mailing address. This is used for:

• Physical pay application submissions
• Document headers and addresses
• Correspondence and mail

Include the complete address:

• Street address or PO Box
• Suite or floor number if applicable
• City, State, ZIP code

Contact Information

GC Contact Name

The name of your primary billing contact at the GC. This is typically:

• Project manager
• Accounts payable representative
• Project accountant
• Assistant project manager

GC Contact Email

Email address for billing communications. When you submit pay applications through RIVET, they're sent to this address.

GC Phone (Optional)

The GC contact's phone number for billing questions. Useful for follow-ups on payment status.

Updating GC Information

To update GC information:

1. Open the project
2. Click the Settings gear icon
3. Scroll to "General Contractor Information"
4. Update the fields as needed
5. Click "Save Changes"

Architect and Owner Information

For AIA G702 forms, you may also need architect and owner information:

Owner (Project Owner)

The property owner or developer. On the G702, this appears on Line 1. Examples:

• Development companies
• Property management firms
• Corporations or building owners
• Government entities

Architect

The architect of record for the project. Include:

• Firm name
• Business address

Not all projects require architect information, but many commercial projects will have this on the original AIA forms.

GC vs. Owner Billing

As a subcontractor, you typically bill the GC, not the property owner directly. In RIVET:

• GC (Contractor) - Who you send pay apps to and who pays you
• Owner - Who the GC bills (appears on G702 for reference only)

Same GC, Multiple Projects

If you have multiple projects with the same GC, you'll need to enter their information on each project. However:

• Contact information may differ by project (different PM for each job)
• Address might vary (regional offices, project-specific addresses)

Common Issues

Wrong Company Name on Documents

If the GC name is appearing incorrectly on documents, update it in project settings and regenerate the documents.

Email Not Reaching GC

Check that:

1. The email address is spelled correctly
2. The GC hasn't blocked emails from RIVET
3. You're using the correct contact email

Multiple GC Contacts

If you need to send pay apps to multiple people at the GC, add additional CC recipients when submitting, rather than changing the primary contact.
