Summary: Approvals shouldn’t wait on calendars. FinalStepPro’s remote signature and offline capture keep your closeout moving even when reception—or the client—isn’t available.

The real‑world blockers

Owners step out. PMs get pulled to another site. Basements kill reception. Every one of those delays pushes handover and payment. The fix is simple: capture everything where you stand and get signatures wherever the client is.

How Remote Signature works

  1. Finish the checklist, photos, payment status, and warranty.

  2. Tap Send Remote Signature.

  3. FinalStepPro creates a secure, single‑use link and emails it to the client.

  4. The client can review the entire record—walkthrough summary, photos, warranty—then sign with their finger or mouse and type their name.

  5. Status flips to Complete automatically. You and the client both have a timestamped record.

Best for: HOA boards, owners out of town, or jobs with multiple signers.

Offline capture you can trust

When you’re underground or out of range, the app runs in offline mode. You can:

  • Check off items and write notes

  • Attach photos

  • Record payment status

  • Capture in‑person signatures

Everything syncs when you’re back online; if someone changed the draft in the office, you’ll be prompted to merge without losing data.

Playbook: Sending a remote sign‑off the right way

  • Subject line: “Sign‑off for [Project Name] — photos + warranty inside.”

  • Intro sentence: “Here’s the full closeout summary; once you sign, you’ll get the permanent link for your records.”

  • Expectations: Mention the warranty terms and any scheduled follow‑ups.

  • Timebox: “The link stays active for 7 days; reply if you need it resent.”

  • Follow‑up: If not signed in 24 hours, resend from the completion and call the client.


Security and professionalism

  • Each link is unique to the job and signer.

  • Clients see a clean, branded page with your logo and colors.

  • Both signatures (client + contractor) appear on the final completion page with timestamps.

When to prefer in‑person signatures

  • Tenant turnover days with a site manager present

  • Warranty work where you want a conversation at handover

  • Any job where immediate payment is tied to the signature

Outcome

Remote signing and offline capture remove your two biggest bottlenecks—calendars and cell service. Close today instead of “when we can all meet.”
