Key Components of an Oklahoma Draw Request: a. Application for Payment: The contractor submits a comprehensive application that includes details regarding the project's progress, documented expenses, and any required supporting documents. b. Cost Breakdown and Schedule of Values: This document provides a breakdown of the project's total cost, divided into specific categories or line items, along with the corresponding dollar values or percentage of completion for each item. c. Subcontractor Invoices: Any subcontractor invoices, including details of their work completed during the draw period, should be included as supporting documentation. d. Work-in-Progress (WIP) Documentation: This consists of clear progress photographs, inspection certificates, or other evidence indicating the completion status of the project's various stages. e. Change Orders: Any approved changes to the original contract scope or cost should be clearly outlined and supported by appropriate change order documentation. 3. Types of Oklahoma Draw Request by a Contractor: a. Initial Draw Request: This type of draw request is typically submitted at the start of the project, enabling the contractor to cover the initial expenses required to kick-start construction. b. Progress Draw Requests: These types of requests are submitted periodically throughout the project's duration, usually monthly or based on agreed-upon milestones, to reimburse the contractor for the completed work and associated costs. c. Final Draw Request: Once the construction project nears completion, contractors can submit a final draw request to cover any remaining outstanding costs and confirm the project's completion for financial purposes. Conclusion: Understanding the Oklahoma draw request process is essential for both contractors and project owners, providing a structured and transparent mechanism for financial transactions during a construction project.
