Subcontractor Agreements · NOC Signatures

Subcontractor agreements, e-signed in seconds.

Issue a written subcontract to your trades and get it e-signed before they show up on site. Lock in scope, price, insurance, and indemnity with a legally binding electronic signature backed by SHA-256 hashes, signer IP capture, and an append-only audit trail.

How it works

• Draft the subcontractor agreement — we give you the fields, you fill them in.
• Send for signature — we email your customer a one-click signing link; no login required on their end, and they sign on any device.
• Download the signed PDF — timestamped, SHA-256 hashed, and IP-stamped, with every view, send, and signature logged to an append-only audit trail.

Legally binding e-signatures

Documents e-signed through NOC Signatures are enforceable under the federal E-SIGN Act and state UETA. Every signed subcontractor agreement carries the signer's drawn signature, printed name, title, timestamp, and IP address for non-repudiation, plus SHA-256 hashes of the original and signed PDFs for tamper-evidence. Free for all signed-in NOC Signatures users while in beta.

Subcontractor Agreements — frequently asked questions

What is a subcontractor agreement?

A subcontractor agreement is the written contract between a general contractor and a subcontractor (the trade performing a portion of the work). It defines the scope of work, subcontract price, payment schedule, insurance and indemnity obligations, and any flow-down terms from the prime contract.

Why use an e-signed subcontractor agreement?

Verbal subcontracts are the #1 source of GC-vs-sub payment disputes. An e-signed agreement captures the sub's IP address, user-agent, and timestamp at submission, generates SHA-256 hashes of the document, and writes every action to an append-only audit trail — the same evidentiary backbone we use for NOCs and lien waivers.

Are e-signed subcontracts legally binding?

Yes. They're enforceable under the federal E-SIGN Act (15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq.) and state UETA. The sub's consent is captured on the signing page and the final PDF carries the sub's drawn signature, printed name, title, timestamp, and IP for non-repudiation.

Does the GC or the sub sign first?

You (the GC, issuer) author the agreement and send it. The subcontractor counter-signs by clicking the link in their email. The final PDF lists you as the issuer and the sub as the e-signing party.
