How to Get Change Orders Authorized on Site with SignCEO
In construction and engineering projects, discovering unforeseen conditions or client-requested upgrades requires immediate contract modifications. Proceeding with extra work without a signed change order risks non-payment, mechanic’s lien disputes, and crew downtime.
With SignCEO, project superintendents and contractors upload change order addendums, price adjustments, and schedule extension forms directly from a tablet or smartphone. Hand the tablet to the owner or send a secure link to their phone. The client reviews scope adjustments and signs with their finger in seconds without creating an account or downloading an app.
SignCEO is an electronic signature execution software. SignCEO does not draft change orders, provide building code advice, or replace statutory requirements for mechanics’ liens. Users upload their own customized change orders.
