- Q: Where do I send credit applications?
- If you are requested to fill out a credit application, first speak with the vendor about executing a commitment with Brinkmann.
- If they still need credit information, send those inquiries to Jacob Grimes. He will either provide the credit reference letter or get with the legal department about a credit application terms review.
- Q: When are my monthly approvals due?
- Approvals are imperative to be completed before all owner's pay applications are compiled and submitted.
- For all committed pay applications in GCPay or Textura, the expectation is that by the 26th all approvals or rejections have been addressed.
- However, you have until the 1st of the following month to have this fully completed.
- Concur invoices are expected to have approvals immediately due to whatever terms each particular vendor has.
- However, to be included for an owner pay application the same dates apply (expected by the 26th, but required by the 1st).
- Q: When are my owner bills due?
- Owner pay applications can differ for pencil draws so please be aware of your specific job's pencil draw due date (but should be no later than the 5th).
- Despite when the pencil draw is due ti is Brinkmann policy to have all owner pay applications submitted by the 5th of the following month.
- The hope is that these are finalized with the owner and a pencil review has occurred.
- If not, then at minimum the pencil submission is due on this date.
