Consultancy¶
SureSign Consultancy connects you with an experienced construction professional for a private consultation — not an AI chatbot, a real person. Use it to talk through a payment application, a notice, a variation, an extension of time, or any general contract administration question for your project.
Consultancy is not legal representation, dispute resolution, or adjudication services. If your matter has escalated into a formal dispute, see SureSign Adjudication.
Booking a consultation¶
As a SureSign customer¶
- Go to Consultancy in the sidebar.
- Select Book a Consultation.
- Choose a consultation type, a date and time, and your timezone.
- Describe your enquiry — a short title and description, plus optional project stage, contract form (for example NEC, JCT, FIDIC), and preferred outcome. This helps the consultant prepare.
- Submit. You'll receive an email confirming your consultation, with a calendar invite attached.
Your consultations are listed under Consultancy, where you can view the details of any consultation or cancel one that hasn't happened yet.
Without a SureSign account¶
Visit the Consultancy page on the SureSign website. Choose a consultation, pick a time, and complete the short enquiry form — no account required. Your confirmation email includes a link you can use to cancel or reschedule, if you booked in time for that to still be available, and a link to a page where you can check your consultation's status, join by Google Meet when it's time, and download a calendar invite — all without creating an account.
Available consultations¶
The consultations on offer (name, duration, and price) are configured by SureSign and may change — the booking page always shows the current list. A short Quick Consultation is typically available as a low-cost introduction to Consultancy, intended to help you decide whether a longer, paid consultation would be useful — it does not include a detailed document review or a written report.
What to expect¶
- If your consultation is held over a video call, you'll receive an email once the Google Meet link is ready, with a "Join Google Meet" button — you can also join from your consultation's detail page (or, without an account, the link in your confirmation email).
- The consultant will discuss your enquiry during the time you booked.
- Your consultation's status (for example confirmed, completed, or cancelled) is shown on its detail page and updates automatically as it progresses — you don't need to do anything to move it along.
- Once your consultation is complete, you'll receive a short email thanking you and letting you know a written summary is being prepared.
- After the consultation, if your consultant writes up a summary, it will appear on your consultation's detail page and you'll receive an email with a secure link to view it — without an account, that link opens a dedicated summary page; no sign-in required. Not every consultation gets a written summary — a short Quick Consultation, for example, typically won't.
- If your consultation relates to a specific project, your consultant may link it to that project internally for their own reference. This is something your consultant manages, not something you need to set up yourself.
- Consultancy does not currently support uploading documents ahead of a consultation — this is on the roadmap.
