Building contracts, signed before the first brick
Send contracts, change orders and handover reports for e-signature. Subcontractors sign on their phone, no account needed.
What construction firms run into
- Large contracts get stuck waiting for wet signatures from subcontractors working on-site
- Change orders and additional work approvals delay projects when you can't get sign-off quickly
- Handover reports require all parties to be physically present just to sign a piece of paper
- Without an audit trail it's hard to show who approved what change, or when
Documents construction companies commonly sign
- Building contract (aannemingsovereenkomst)
- Subcontractor agreement
- Change order / additional work approval
- Site safety plan (V&G-plan)
- Handover report (opleveringsrapport)

Building contracts and subcontractor agreements can be signed electronically; eIDAS does not prescribe a particular signature level for them. Where a written-form requirement applies, such as for building a home for a consumer, it can under conditions also be met electronically (article 6:227a Dutch Civil Code). BuiltSign places a simple electronic signature (SES) with audit trail. For notarial deeds such as property transfers, a civil-law notary is required.
