This article will show you how the workflow works from the client's perspective. March 5, 2026 We have a step-by-step video guide on this topic to help you understand the process in more detail. Once you send the project proposal to your client, here’s what they see and how they can interact with it. First, your client will receive an email with the instructions to follow.

[![](https://help.buildern.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Proposal-Example-Client-View.png)](https://buildern-1fc0692ea7fc.intercom-attachments-1.com/i/o/suco1tn6/2083639132/3f1079c8d8d7c6149ec1b388ea83/Proposal-Example-Client-View.png?expires=1792671300&signature=6af1179bbf4455549409b0898524887740105ca5f56dfae40bbc1b65c6c691b1&req=diAvFc99lIBcW%2FMW1HO4zS1B%2BaOAalkA1snXKds1k1b6HyeSPkKav5UJkdDR%0AfFxIMLkGdhrjEfDRfmM%3D%0A) Here they can view all the sections you included in the document, review the offer, and respond to it by rejecting or approving. Your clients can also **download the proposal in PDF format** and share it with others. The proposal will be downloaded with a neatly organized design to highlight your professionalism. Scrolling to the bottom of the proposal, your client will see the payment schedule (if you’ve added one) and sections dedicated to their signature. [![](https://help.buildern.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Payment-Schedule-Signing-Proposal.png)](https://buildern-1fc0692ea7fc.intercom-attachments-1.com/i/o/suco1tn6/2083639149/1486d977c4a9e10711ee5e621450/Payment-Schedule-Signing-Proposal.png?expires=1792671300&signature=66b7004764db7a1d45773cc17f0a9d0db06b4875d7ab11a5ec6a1297f5dc9a79&req=diAvFc99lIBbUPMW1HO4zT7F%2BHdR1hbbA2BRUIog%2FkoOhv4xUNasmXBpf273%0ARAVcRYmdsRhTFx12Org%3D%0A) Clicking **Sign Proposal** a new window will open where your client will need to type their name and insert the signature. [![](https://help.buildern.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Client-Signature-In-Proposal.png)](https://buildern-1fc0692ea7fc.intercom-attachments-1.com/i/o/suco1tn6/2083639162/95316bf8b378f1d8e28437112690/Client-Signature-In-Proposal.png?expires=1792671300&signature=20e124f63780ae4e954d1556e65133d5f3c0c736a1ed9477727e91b716e7ec49&req=diAvFc99lIBZW%2FMW1HO4zTfzBMJmcK4XaIA9dxQwUOv9r%2FiO6K39Yc3E3FsJ%0A9l6UOF%2BRwMOD184DJrU%3D%0A) Once the client clicks the **Submit** button, the proposal will change its status to **Approved**. **NOTE**: If you need several clients to respond to the proposal, the status will be updated based on the last reply. Your clients can also use the **Comments section** for any notes and clarifications. They can even reply to the email with the proposal and the reply will be automatically added to Buildern as a comment to the proposal where you can type your answer and keep the communication clear.

You will be able to see and track your clients’ interactions with the proposal in real time. Just pay attention to the **Status** and **Seen** columns shown below.
