eSigning for construction and demolition

Nov 02, 2023

From needing real-time access and a centralized file system to troubleshooting contractor deals, or getting client sign-off to complete a project, having a reliable and accessible eSignature system “demolishes” construction roadblocks.

eSignatures in the office and on-site

eSignatures make sure that you get the signatures you want not only in the office but also in the field. While we all do our best to ensure that all I’s are dotted and T’s crossed, some things inevitably take longer than expected.

More Projects Start on Time: Contracts and permits might get verbal approval that’s still pending a final signature, and some waivers don’t get filed in a timely fashion, but the project has to start ASAP. eSignatures allow you to send the document for signature directly to the construction or demolition site, and your signer can sign right from their phone without downloading any apps.

Get Signatures and Correct Errors On The Spot: Some projects might be missing initials or a worker agreement to insurance, and others might require materials that weren’t indicated in the original agreement and require a sign-off from the owner. In any of these cases, you don’t have to wait for the contract addendum document to arrive in print on the site – simply use the signer’s device to collect the signature right where the signer is.

Contracts, Agreements, T&M, Waivers, Safety Data Sheets: All in One Place

Making sure your head office is in sync with what’s happening on-site doesn’t have to feel like a balancing act. Centralizing your head office and on-site projects with an eSignature management system eliminates the time wasted for physical paperwork to pass through desks. It gives every team member who needs access to a document when they need it. Your entire company streamlines and your projects, too, freeing you up for more work and less overhead costs.

Choose an eSignature platform that takes security and privacy seriously and proactively so you can keep focusing on construction and demolition. You have important things to worry about in your day-to-day operations, and document security is usually not top-of-mind. Key security and privacy features to look out for when choosing a provider:

  • Secure data access and transfer protocols like HTTPS and TLS/SSL
  • Encrypted archival of documents with strict internal access control by a core security team
  • Rigorous, regular code and vulnerability reviews

What you get from this is confidence that the services you use are reliable. What you should expect from your eSignatures provider:

  • Simplified access, minimal retrieval times
  • Lower risk of misplacing crucial documents like contracts and waivers
  • Digital audit trail with unalterable, systematic capture of signing data in a ledger

Choose a provider that makes handling your construction and demolition templates easy, with the option to delegate. Not every industry handles bids, time & materials (T&M), safety data sheets, and procurement all at once, so an ideal platform should offer some relevant templates and allow you to use your custom ones. This feature further saves you time and human energy, ensuring that you spend less time drafting and designing documents and more time on what truly matters: building and demolishing with smooth sailing.

By “templatizing” each document, you can eliminate the need to start from scratch for every person you need to sign a document. This is useful especially for contracts, permits, waivers, and safety data sheets (SDSs).

eSignatures: Not Just Signing Online, but Being Everywhere When It Matters

Signing from a computer, phone, or any device, has upsides, but switching to a good eSignature platform lets your office and on-site teams function in sync, in real-time, to adapt to last-minute changes as they come

Having centralized management of your contracts, waivers, safety data sheets, and other key docs means access for whoever needs it and whenever your teams need it.

Say goodbye to stacks of paperwork and time-consuming manual processes. Empower yourself and your workers to get the job done and take paperwork out of the job description – let eSignatures do that work for you.
