Questions subbies ask
- Does YourCA send the docket to the builder?
- No. Their person signs on your phone, and you download the docket or draft an email in your own mail. YourCA never sends anything for you.
- Can a signed docket be changed?
- No. It is kept as it was signed. If it was written in error, mark it so with the reason, and it stays on the register.
