Evaluate / Prepare Contract Template for Production
SolarNexus provides a very in-depth building improvement contract template called "SN_Dynamic_Contract" that is ready for use. It can dynamically incorporate a variety of services that you propose to a customer into a scope of work, along with its pricing, payment schedule, and warranty terms relevant to the scope of work for each of your clients. And its pre-built to capture e-Signatures using Docusign.
We recommend testing the contracts for a few test solutions that have scopes of work that reflect your company's offerings.
