Project Manager

Project Managers prepare bid and contract documents, define signing orders, and verify completed signatures to move leads into active projects; they coordinate field approvals and ensure contracts include correct scope and financial terms.

Construction-specific examples using electronic signatures

Practical examples show how eSignatures accelerate lead conversion and subcontractor onboarding across common construction scenarios.

Residential bid acceptance

A project manager sends standardized bid forms to homeowners with prefilled scope items and payment terms.

  • Use of Templates ensures consistency across properties.
  • Faster homeowner approvals reduce scheduling delays.

Resulting in quicker project starts and clearer contractor commitments.

Subcontractor onboarding

An estimator sends prequalification and insurance forms to multiple subcontractors for a commercial project.

  • Bulk Send distributes forms in one action.
  • Centralized audit trails simplify compliance checks.

Leading to a shorter procurement cycle and verified subcontractor records.

Best practices for secure and accurate signing in construction

Adopt consistent processes and controls to reduce errors, maintain compliance, and speed lead-to-contract transitions in construction organizations.

Standardize templates and fields
Create approved templates for bids, scopes, and subcontractor forms that include required signature and data fields; this reduces omissions, enforces consistent clauses, and speeds review during lead conversion.
Use role-based permissions
Limit who can send, modify, or approve documents to reduce accidental changes and ensure only authorized personnel can finalize contracts and sign critical financial documents.
Choose appropriate authentication
Match signer verification to transaction risk: use basic email for low-value approvals, SMS or knowledge-based checks for moderate risk, and certificate-based signatures for high-value contracts.
Maintain clear retention and export policies
Define retention durations for signed records, ensure backups are automated, and regularly export archived documents for legal or accounting requirements to avoid data loss.
