For residential remodeling contractors
Your customer approved every item. Now they say they didn't. You have nothing.
SignedScope gives residential contractors a timestamped, signed approval trail for every scope change — so a withheld final payment has nowhere to hide.

Today
You finish the job, the punch list is done, and the customer loves the result — until the final invoice lands. Suddenly three line items were 'never approved,' and your proof is a string of iMessage bubbles and a verbal yes at the jobsite.
With SignedScope
Every scope addition and change carries a dated, customer-signed acknowledgment captured the moment it was discussed — so when final payment is disputed, you pull one document and the conversation ends.
Conceptual — the workflow SignedScope is being built to handle.
What we keep seeing
This pattern comes up repeatedly across contractor forums and small-claims discussion boards: a residential customer verbally approves additions throughout the job, completes a punch list walkthrough, then withholds final payment claiming specific items were never authorized — leaving the contractor with texts, emails, and verbal accounts but no signed, line-item-specific contemporaneous record that holds up when challenged.
Observed across public operator forums — the reason this page exists.
Without it
You finish the job, the punch list is done, and the customer loves the result — until the final invoice lands. Suddenly three line items were 'never approved,' and your proof is a string of iMessage bubbles and a verbal yes at the jobsite.
With SignedScope
Every scope addition and change carries a dated, customer-signed acknowledgment captured the moment it was discussed — so when final payment is disputed, you pull one document and the conversation ends.
We're building SignedScope: lightweight in-field approval capture designed for residential contractors who need protection, not another enterprise payment platform.
How SignedScope works
Log the scope item
Add a line item — change order, addition, or clarification — in plain language right from your phone at the jobsite.
Customer signs on the spot
The customer taps to approve on your phone or receives a link by text; their signature is timestamped and locked to that exact line item.
Pull the record if it's ever disputed
Every approval lives in a single exportable log you can hand to your attorney, a mediator, or a small claims clerk in under a minute.
Straight answers
Can I use SignedScope today? +
We're building it now and moving fast. Early users get direct input on exactly how the approval flow works — field layout, customer-facing language, export format — and they get first access the day it ships. Sign up and you're shaping a tool built around your actual workflow, not retrofitted from enterprise construction software.
What happens after I sign up? +
You'll get a short email within a few days with two or three specific questions about how you currently document scope approvals. No pitch, no spam — just targeted questions so the tool fits the real workflow. We'll keep you posted on progress and give you access before anyone else.
Who's behind SignedScope? +
An independent builder who went deep on this specific problem — talking to contractors, reading dispute records, and pulling apart how Payapps, GCPay, and Trimble Pay all manage to miss the moment that actually matters: getting contemporaneous written approval before the customer changes their memory.
My contracts already cover scope changes — isn't that enough? +
A contract clause says changes require written approval; it doesn't prove a specific customer approved a specific item on a specific date. Without a timestamped, line-item record signed by the customer at the time, 'the contract requires approval' just becomes an argument about what was or wasn't communicated — and that argument costs you the $20k while you litigate it.
