How to Send and Execute Construction Contracts with SignCEO

Manual paper contracting delays permit applications, material procurement, and ground-breaking.
With SignCEO, contractors upload customized prime contracts, architectural exhibits, and payment draw schedules. Add signature blocks, initial tags on warranty and liquidated damage provisions, and date fields. Owners review and execute documents on their laptop or mobile phone in minutes without creating accounts or downloading software.
SignCEO is an electronic signature execution software. SignCEO does not draft construction contracts, provide building code advice, or replace statutory requirements for mechanics’ liens or deed notarizations. Users upload their own customized construction contracts.
