 Legacy Content
This page details the legacy owner progress claim experience. A modernised experience is also available. 

Objective

To create an owner progress claim to bill an owner for work completed on a head contract.

Background

An Owner Progress Claim is an application for payment, typically submitted by a Head Contractor (HC) or Construction Manager (CM) to an Owner to provide an itemized record of the amount due for work performed. In Procore, an owner progress claim is equivalent to an accounts receivable progress claim.
