NATIONAL CORPORATE SIGNAGE SITE SURVEY
PREPARATION IS THE KEY, AND NONE MORE SO THAN YOUR SIGNAGE PROJECT
Why is a signage site survey an essential step? Do you ever wonder how signs are delivering maximum impact to a business?
Well, why have great signage that no one can see? The placement of your signage is as important as the message it relays to customers and prospects. Your signage gets the optimum visibility based on traffic flow and elevation as determined by our specialist team.
We assess your visual branding requirements by covering a comprehensive site survey and audit. Doing so allows us to provide recommendations for your brand optimisation and a carefully designed schedule for the process.
Furthermore, we take care of council permits and project management, so you know that everything is covered.
FINDING THE RIGHT SPOT TO ENSURE YOUR BUSINESS SIGN DELIVERS MAXIMUM IMPACT
Do you wonder how National Corporate Signage can do things right the first time and every time? Well, the keystones of our whole process are strategic thinking and diligence.
An on-site survey and analysis is the most reliable way to provide you with the best sign. Several factors will influence your signage solutions, whether you want digital signage, safety signage, illuminated sign, custom signage, wall graphics, or decals. Among them are:
- Where will the signage be placed? How high will it be displayed?
- What is the impact of light and shade on the placement of signs?
- Are there any obstructions that need we need to avoid?
- Are there any legal issues to consider?
Our thorough signage audit helps us find the right spot and ensure that there are no more obstacles before we hand the ball over to our installation team. By doing this step, we ensure that your business sign gets the highest possible visibility and impact and won’t encounter any issues in the future.
HOW DO WE DO OUR SIGNAGE SITE SURVEY?
- We conduct a site observation visit to obtain approach shots of the proposed signage placement and asses neighbouring properties for challenges they may pose on the site.
- Our surveyors examine aerials and review traffic count to understand traffic flow around the area better.
- Our signage experts also review Zoning & Land Use and the Code of Ordinance. Furthermore, we also consider existing and proposed zoning changes.
- We determine whether any PUD agreements or Master Sign Plans impact signage requirements.
- Our team also negotiates and agrees on signage rights with local government entities.
- Last but not least, we ensure all milestones are documented and maintained in writing.
But, wait. There’s more.
With decades of experience implementing signage and brands, we know how to negotiate with all relevant parties. We dedicate a project manager for each signage project.
Also, to avoid surprises, we always consider the Code Summary when designing and engineering your signages. Moreover, we manage the following necessary permits in-house:
- Research on Building & Sign Codes
- Acquiring permits
- Applying for permits
- Meeting attendance
- Analysis, variance, and execution
- Permit for Utility Clearances
- Final Inspections
SITE SURVEY IS A PROCESS THAT NATIONAL CORPORATE SIGNAGE NEVER SKIPS AND HERE'S WHY
Perhaps you don’t think a signage site survey is necessary before having your business sign made and hung. It might seem like a small step that you can just ignore, but the truth is- it’s a big deal.
Here are the reasons why we never skip a thorough site survey before handing the sign project to the signage installation team:
Our team can create a sign that fits your company’s unique culture and brand by seeing the location and building in person. If you have multiple locations, we also see to it that we check each one of them.
The site survey enables us to ensure that the business plan, colours, and branding work together.
Our surveyors can take measurements of the area to make sure the sign is made to the correct size.
When it comes to more prominent signs, we’ll need to be sure that we have enough space to work on them. It would be helpful if we were to check the area underneath the sign’s chosen location to ensure that we have access to the mounting site and if we have the necessary equipment. Moreover, it helps us determine if we need alternative access points for the best places to execute our sign plan.
Our team can create a sign that fits your company’s unique culture and brand by seeing the location and building in person. If you have multiple locations, we also see to it that we check each one of them.
It would be helpful to have some pictures of the site on file. The site survey allows us to get photos of the area to show the designers and installation team where the sign will go. As an additional option, we can add a proposed sign to the picture so clients can get a sense of what the signage will look like.
COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT SIGNAGE SITE SURVEY
Depending on multiple factors, such as the area size and the number of locations, we can’t give you an exact duration of how long the site survey will take to complete. With our current experience, It takes an average of 5 days for a metropolitan area site survey to complete.
As an end-to-end company giving high quality sign services, conducting the site survey first is a must to ensure that the next steps of our process will go seamlessly. As mentioned, a site survey helps us clear out any obstructions that may block our way, such as permits and other technical factors.
Our sign company will take care of every process step- surveying, manufacturing, and installation service. We have a team of expert project planners and surveyors to ensure that we’re hanging sign on the right spot and under the proper premises!
