The Simpler, Mobile-First Alternative to DocuSign for Construction Teams
DottedSign gives construction companies and field teams a faster way to approve, sign, and track project documents from any device — built for job sites, not just back offices.
A Purpose-Built Alternative for Construction Operations, Not Just Another eSignature Tool
Traditional eSignature platforms like DocuSign were designed around office-based contract signing, not job sites. DottedSign is built around how construction teams actually work — mobile-first approvals, field-to-office visibility, and workflows shaped for RFIs, change orders, inspections, and subcontractor documentation.
Traditional eSignature Tools Weren't Built for How Construction Teams Actually Approve Work
Desktop-only signing tools leave field supervisors waiting until they're back at a computer to approve documents.
Generic eSignature workflows don't reflect how construction approvals actually move — from the field to the project manager to the owner and back.
Per-envelope or per-seat pricing makes it expensive to get every subcontractor and field lead signing.
Complex, contract-oriented interfaces slow down teams who just need a fast approval, not a legal negotiation tool.
Limited visibility into where a document is stuck makes it hard to know who to follow up with on-site.
Switching tools disrupts teams already juggling RFIs, change orders, inspections, and onboarding paperwork.
Workflow Automation Built Around How Construction Teams Actually Operate Every Day
Move beyond basic eSignature and automate the approval routing, tracking,
and reminders construction operations depend on.
Mobile-First Signing
Field supervisors, subcontractors, and project owners sign and approve documents from a phone or tablet, on-site or off.
Automated Approval Routing
Set the approval sequence once — DottedSign routes RFIs, change orders, and other documents to the right approver automatically.
Centralized Document Management
Keep every approval, template, and signed record in one place instead of scattered across email threads.
Reusable Templates
Standardize recurring forms — change orders, inspection reports, subcontractor packets — into templates your team can send in minutes.
Legally Binding Audit Trails
Every signature is time-stamped and tamper-evident, giving you a complete record if a dispute ever comes up.
Automatic Reminders
DottedSign automatically reminds approvers who haven't signed yet, cutting down on delays caused by a single missed email.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is DottedSign different from DocuSign for construction teams?
DottedSign is built around mobile-first, on-site approvals and construction-specific workflows like RFIs, change orders, and subcontractor onboarding, rather than general-purpose contract signing. Field supervisors and subcontractors can review and sign from a phone or tablet without needing to be at a desk.
Can field teams sign documents without a laptop or office access?
Yes. DottedSign works fully on phones and tablets, so field supervisors, subcontractors, and inspectors can review and sign documents directly from the job site.
Is switching from DocuSign to DottedSign difficult?
Most construction teams can upload their existing PDF forms and templates directly into DottedSign with no reformatting required, and set up approval routing in the same session.
Are DottedSign signatures legally binding?
Yes. DottedSign signatures are legally binding under the U.S. federal ESIGN Act and applicable state electronic transaction laws, carrying the same legal weight as wet-ink signatures for construction contracts and related documents.
Can multiple parties — owner, contractor, and subcontractor — sign the same document?
Yes. You can set up a defined signing order so a document routes automatically from one approver to the next, or allow parallel signing when all parties can review at the same time.
Does DottedSign integrate with the project management tools we already use?
DottedSign supports API integration so you can connect approval workflows with your existing project management or document systems, reducing duplicate data entry between platforms.
Do subcontractors and vendors need a DottedSign account to sign?
No. Signers you invite can review and sign a document without creating a DottedSign account, so subcontractors and vendors can approve requests with no extra setup on their end.
