Toro Construction executes subcontracts in days with room to negotiate built in
Industry
General Contractor
Challenge
Executing a high volume of near-identical subcontracts through one-by-one signing and email-based redlining, with no control over what subs could edit.
Results
Two-day internal approvals and a 4-5 day request-to-signature cycle at 20+ new contracts a month, with exhibits locked and negotiation contained in-platform.
Key Product
Contract Management
"DocuSign just collects signatures. Constrafor manages the whole negotiation - our subs can redline the terms that are negotiable, and everything else stays locked. It's made contract execution dramatically simpler."

Director of Financial Strategy and Treasury @ Toro Construction
About Toro Construction
Toro Construction is a general contractor managing a growing roster of subcontractor relationships across residential and commercial projects. As the company has expanded its subcontractor base, contract execution has become a bigger and more frequent part of day-to-day operations.
The Challenge
Before Constrafor, Toro's team relied on tools like DocuSign combined with email-based negotiation. Redlines on exhibits happened outside the system, version tracking was manual, and there was no structured way to control what subcontractors could and couldn't edit.
As Toro's subcontractor base grew, the model stopped scaling. Twenty new contracts a month, each negotiated over email and signed one at a time, meant version confusion, untracked redlines, and no way to protect exhibits from edits they should never receive.
The Solution
Constrafor's Contracts module gave Toro a way to enforce the boundary between negotiable and non-negotiable contract terms automatically. Subcontractors can propose edits to terms and conditions, but exhibits stay locked.
For Toro's residential projects, where contract structures repeat across jobs, Constrafor's templates and copy functionality have cut the time spent drafting new agreements from scratch. And when a vendor hit a signing snag with a deadline looming, Constrafor's team diagnosed it live on a call and had it resolved the same day.
"Every vendor wants to sign as fast as possible," Alexis said. "With Constrafor, we can actually deliver that."
The Results
Negotiation that used to sprawl across email threads now happens in one place. Subcontractors propose edits where edits are allowed, exhibits stay locked, and internal approvals clear in about two days - keeping the full request-to-signature cycle at four to five days even at 20 new contracts a month.
Faster execution isn't just about speed for Toro - it's about giving the team room to negotiate without losing time.
