Signature Flows
Support for sequential and parallel signing, delegated signing, and signature placeholders tailored to multi-party construction agreements for efficient approvals and handoffs.
In the United States, signNow and comparable eSignature tools operate within ESIGN and UETA frameworks; both can be configured to support HIPAA or FERPA considerations for covered data, and they generate audit trails that help establish intent and consent.
Responsible for initiating contracts and approvals, the project manager should have template edit rights, send and track permissions, and access to signed documents in the CRM; they coordinate field signers and manage routing for subcontractor agreements.
Manages template library, user provisioning, and retention policies; the administrator configures integration settings between signNow and Close CRM, oversees compliance settings, and handles escalations for failed or incomplete signature requests.

Automatic storage and folder mapping keep signed agreements in designated project folders, enabling shared access for site teams and simplifying backup and retention policies.
Advanced template features support conditional fields, reusable clauses, and role-specific placeholders to standardize contracts across projects and minimize manual edits for each new job.

A general contractor needs to circulate subcontract agreements quickly across procurement and legal teams, capturing signatures from multiple stakeholders on tight schedules
Resulting in faster subcontract onboarding, fewer lost documents, and clearer audit trails for compliance and payment processing.
A subcontractor frequently submits bids and change orders requiring customer acceptance and internal approvals
Resulting in improved bid turnaround, clearer responsibilities on site, and reduced administrative time between signature and invoicing.
