The Contract, Drawings, And Specifications Are Intended To Form
Use a The Contract, Drawings, And Specifications Are Intended To template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What this contract package contains
The Contract, Drawings, And Specifications Are Intended To Form is a construction document package that establishes how the written agreement, project drawings, and technical specifications work together. The package identifies the terms and project scope that the parties intend to govern performance. With signNow, a sender uploads the documents, reviews detected fillable fields, adds signer and approval fields, routes the package, and stores the executed files with an audit trail. Under the federal ESIGN Act, 15 U.S.C. chapter 96, electronic records and signatures can have legal effect when statutory requirements are satisfied.
Who benefits from this contract package
The package is most useful when several parties must approve identical contract terms, drawings, and specifications before construction work begins.
Solo construction consultants can combine project specifications, drawings, and contract terms into one signable package, reducing disputes about which version governed the engagement. Regional general contractors can route bids and construction agreements to owners, subcontractors, and project managers while preserving the signed package and audit trail. Enterprise construction firms can connect contract workflows with Procore, NetSuite, or cloud storage, giving procurement and legal teams controlled access to executed project records.
These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.

Contract package examples
The same signed package can support construction, real-estate, legal, and operational workflows when the document set is clearly identified.
Real estate
Martin Properties uses online document execution for real-estate agreements, including work performed from mobile devices or offline.
- Mobile contract execution
- Offline work support
This workflow illustrates how a property business can keep contract execution moving when staff are away from the office. For a construction-related package, the sender should identify each drawing and specification revision, assign the responsible parties, and retain the completed contract with its audit trail.
Construction
Construction teams can send bids and agreements to owners and subcontractors while preserving the project documents reviewed during signing.
- Signed project package
- Controlled document history
A construction workflow benefits from attaching the exact drawings and specifications to the agreement rather than circulating separate files. signNow can capture signer actions and provide a completed record, while the project owner remains responsible for legal review, revision control, and retention requirements.

Legal standing of the executed package
The package can support a U.S. business transaction when parties show intent, consent to electronic records, signer attribution, and reliable record retention under ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. chapter 96, or applicable state law such as UETA. Wills, codicils, testamentary trusts, court orders, and specified family-law documents remain outside ESIGN’s ordinary coverage.
Troubleshooting contract package signing
These answers address field detection, signer access, plan limits, legal evidence, regulated data, and drawing revisions for this contract package.
Upload the contract, drawings, and specifications as a single PDF or clearly named document set, then inspect signNow’s detected fields. Add signature, initials, date, and text fields manually when detection misses a project-specific location. The Business plan includes templates and audit trails.
Signers can often open a signNow request without creating an account, depending on the sender’s configuration. If access fails, verify the recipient email, resend the invitation, or use a controlled signing link. SMS authentication can add a verification step when stronger signer identification is needed.
The Business plan is $8 per user per month with annual billing and includes 100 signature invites per user per year. Business Premium is $15 and adds bulk send. Confirm invite usage before sending a large group of project packages.
A signed construction package may be evidence of an electronic transaction under ESIGN and applicable state law, but enforceability depends on intent, consent, attribution, and record retention. ESIGN is codified at 15 U.S.C. chapter 96; UETA generally governs qualifying intrastate transactions.
signNow supports audit trails and encrypted data, including TLS 1.2/1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest. The platform’s HIPAA compliance requires a BAA, but HIPAA applies only when the contract workflow handles protected health information.
A replacement drawing should not silently overwrite a signed exhibit. Create a new package or amendment, label the revision, and obtain the required signatures again. Keep the earlier executed version and audit trail according to the project’s retention policy.
