Your digital checklist signature ensures full on-site transparency

By adding a digital signature to a construction form or checklist, you can configure and control the flow of your construction processes better, which would be the perfect solution to your important on-site construction workflows.

Including digital signatures in your digitised construction checklists will give you a powerful digital workflow that can totally revolutionise the way you handle and process your on-site documentation.

Construction checklist implementation of digital signatures

By requiring digital signatures to control your on-site construction processes, you end up saving a lot of your time and money, while making you more productive.
However, implementing the use of digital signatures needs to follow a logical workflow pattern in itself, which involves the following:

1. Creating your checklist form, document or template. For example, LetsBuild allows you to create a checklist template ( that can be configured for workflow delivery), with the option to allow the use signature fields for an easy digital signature application.
2. Reviewing your checklist form. As a user, after filling out the answers to your checklist, you can review your checklist and its content before signing it.
3. Collecting your digital signature. Adding your signature alongside your personal details to the app’s database allows an automated and seamless flow of digital signatures from one user to the next, which is important for better workflow control. You can set up your digital signature to trigger or stop actions from your checklist. This allows the logical flow of processes to proceed from creating your checklist, reviewing its content and the tasks generated, signing, and validating. You can also set this up to invite other users and block the validation or completion of a checklist form if a mandatory stakeholder signature is missing.
4. Consenting and accepting with your digital signature. By signing with your digital signature, this automatically assigns your acceptance of the set forth terms and conditions. Digital signatures follow strict standards and no unauthorised changes can be made to your checklist after being signed. For checklist documents needing multiple signatures, signing notifications will be sent to ensure the successful user-to-user workflow process.
5. Customising your checklist workflow. It is possible to tailor your checklist workflow to your specific construction site needs.
6. Auditing your construction checklist task trail. Everything you do on the app leaves a trail. Utilise this workflow trail to check which processes or workflow works best for you, and use it to customise a new checklist.
7. Completing your checklist and generating your report. Once your checklist is agreed upon and all digital signatures have been validated and applied by all stakeholder parties, it can now be finalised. The signatories can be automatically sent a digital copy of the final checklist report.
