A progress valuation approval checklist controls the evidence behind the percentage. The billing statement calculates and communicates the difference after earlier bills; this checklist asks whether the underlying snapshot and authority are ready to use. It does not certify construction work or replace a contractually required assessment.
Record the same project scope, price version, measurement basis and snapshot date used for the proposed billing statement. Distinguish an internal estimate from the accepted completion value, and identify queried or changed work before approval. Do not infer completion simply from elapsed time or hours consumed.
In the fictional review, evidence supports an approved 60% cumulative basis on a USD 20,000 scope. The reviewer preserves the actual decision and notes separate advance and retention questions. The handover passes approved inputs, rather than treating an illustrative USD 12,000 value as automatic invoice authority.

How to complete the template
Check scope and measurement evidence
Identify agreement version and the actual method for assessing completion. Link accepted deliverables or other required evidence to the stated snapshot.
Review questions and decision authority
Separate disputed, unapproved or changed work and name the required authorized reviewer. Record the accepted percentage and conditions precisely.
Hand over the approved basis
Pass scope, subtotal, percentage, snapshot and decision references to the billing owner. Require a separate check of earlier bills and any agreed adjustments.

Avoid this
Equating effort with approved completion
Hours consumed or a calendar midpoint may not establish the agreed valuation. Use the actual measurement evidence.
Avoid this
Using an earlier approval after scope changes
Review the new scope and basis explicitly; do not silently reuse a percentage against a changed price.

Questions people usually have before changing the workflow.
Is this a formal certificate?
No. Follow the actual assessment and certification requirements in the agreement.
Does approval clear earlier receivables?
No. Valuation, billing and cash receipt are separate records.
Can the reviewer approve with conditions?
Record the actual conditions and held items. Do not present a conditional decision as an unconditional release.
