Construction contract management software for subcontracts and change orders
Construction contract management software helps contractors draft agreements, approve changes, collect signatures and track contractual deadlines. Signee brings those steps into one workspace for owners, project managers, contracts administrators and controllers. Keep subcontracts and supplier terms accessible while scheduling, estimating and pay applications stay in your construction project management software.
- AI drafts from one sentence
- Your templates with project variables
- Approval rules on Business and Company
- Signed terms with date reminders
Start your next subcontract draft
Draft, not sentDescribe the trade, scope and agreed terms. Review the draft with your team before sending it for signature.
The work changes before the paperwork catches up
A scope exclusion sits in an email. The purchase order references an older drawing. The controller needs the signed change, while the project manager chases approval. Later, a notice window closes because the deadline stays buried in the subcontract.
A construction contract management system gives the office a shared record. Signee helps prepare terms, route review and retain the signed copy with its audit trail. Your team checks scope, references and signing authority, turning a field conversation into an agreement everyone can find.
How it works
Take a change from request to signed agreement
-
1
Describe the work
Start with one sentence or your reviewed template. Fill project, party, scope, price and date variables. Check the original agreement reference.
-
2
Review the commitment
On Business and Company, route value and clause exceptions through approval rules. Reviewers confirm cost, scope exclusions and changes to completion terms.
-
3
Collect signatures
Send the approved document with signing order and reminders. Signers use their browser, and the completed agreement stays in the repository with an audit trail certificate.
-
4
Own the next deadline
Confirm extracted key dates against the signed clauses. Assign an owner and add tasks for deadlines that depend on events your project team must verify.
Make change order approval a documented decision before requesting an electronic signature with an audit trail. The agreement approval workflow supports rules by value, discount or clause change. Your team decides whether work qualifies as an extra and follows the prime contract authorization requirements.
Subcontract packet
Review document references before sending
- Subcontract agreement
- Parties, payment terms and governing obligations
- Scope exhibit
- Included work, exclusions and drawing references
- Insurance requirements
- Required coverage and certificate obligations
- Change order log
- Your record of changes and signed document references
Example document checklist prepared by your team.
Construction contract management tools for the whole packet
A subcontract agreement needs a clear relationship with its exhibits. Use templates with variables for recurring commercial terms, then check that scope, insurance requirements and incorporated documents agree. The checklist illustrates your review process, rather than an automatically generated construction packet.
Keep the change connected to the original scope
State which agreement the change amends, what work changes and whether price or time changes with it. Keep your change log references consistent with the signed documents. The person approving the commitment needs those terms before deciding.
For repeat supplier relationships, the master service agreement template offers a starting structure for reusable terms. Adapt it with counsel for construction risks, applicable state law and the order of precedence between documents.
After signature
Construction contract administration software keeps dates actionable
Signee extracts key dates from agreements. Review the source wording and use assigned tasks when a deadline depends on a site event or a separate record.
Insurance certificate expiry
Track an expiry date stated in the contract or add a reminder task from the certificate. Your team still obtains the certificate and verifies coverage with the appropriate adviser.
Warranty periods
Check whether the warranty starts at completion, acceptance or another event. Confirm the actual trigger with the project manager before setting the follow up date.
Claims and change notices
Identify the notice window and required delivery method. For a period triggered by discovery or instruction, have the responsible person establish the event date and deadline.
Retention release
Record a task against the contractual release conditions. The controller checks completion, closeout and any required waivers in the responsible systems before requesting release.
Supplier agreement renewals
Keep the renewal date separate from the last day to give notice. Assign a purchasing owner who can review the terms before the agreement renews.
Responsibility at handover
Give each deadline an owner who can consult the signed terms. Review outstanding obligations when a project manager changes or a project moves into closeout.
See contract renewal tracking and notice reminders for date confirmation and alerts. Business and Company add obligation extraction and the renewal pipeline. Reminders prompt action, while your team delivers notices through the method the contract requires.
By trade
Contract management software for construction teams with different scopes
Electrical and mechanical contractors
Put equipment responsibilities, testing obligations and scope exclusions in the subcontract. Prepare a change document when routing or equipment requirements alter the agreement, with the commercial effect ready for review.
Concrete and roofing contractors
Clarify preparation, access, supplied materials and warranty terms before signing. When conditions change, record the agreed adjustment rather than leaving responsibility in a conversation that the office cannot retrieve.
General contractors
Use reviewed subcontract templates across trades. Give the contracts administrator a consistent way to prepare agreements and the controller a signed record of commitments, without moving daily site coordination into another application.
Purchasing and supplier relationships
Draft purchase orders and supplier agreements with delivery obligations and renewal terms. Confirm document precedence where a supplier sends separate conditions, then keep the signed terms accessible for purchasing decisions.

A suite fits better when the main requirement is coordinating field activity, estimating, scheduling or pay applications. Signee fits when the office needs an agreement workflow with a visible plan price. Evaluate it alongside your existing tools without assuming a native Procore integration.
Choose a plan around review responsibilities
Starter covers drafting, templates, signatures and key date alerts. Business adds approval rules and obligation extraction. Company adds bulk send and imports of existing contracts. Compare the published plans and included users against who drafts, approves and owns deadlines.
Construction contract management questions
What is the best construction contract management software?
The best construction contract management software fits the agreements and responsibilities your team manages. Signee suits contractors who need drafting, approvals, signatures and deadline reminders on a published plan. A construction suite fits broader field operations. Compare review controls, included users and your existing project management workflow before choosing.
How do contractors manage subcontractor agreements?
Contractors manage subcontractor agreements by standardizing terms, reviewing scope and exceptions, obtaining signatures and assigning deadline owners. In Signee, use templates with variables for each subcontract agreement, route exceptions on Business or Company, and retain the signed copy with its audit trail. Confirm dates against the contract before relying on reminders.
Can change orders be signed electronically?
Yes, change orders can generally be signed electronically when the parties agree and applicable requirements permit it. Prepare the scope, price and time adjustments, complete internal review, then request signatures in Signee. Check signer authority and any original contract requirements for amendments. The signed document includes an audit trail.
Is an electronic signature legally binding on a construction contract?
An electronic signature is generally legally binding on a US construction contract under the ESIGN Act and UETA when applicable requirements are met. Consent, intent and retained records matter.
