FAQ
How early should I get a signage quote for a new build?
At tender or documentation stage, often around nine months before handover. Quoting from the architect drawings early means the cost is in your budget from the start and the sign is booked to install the moment the building is ready.
Why is signage installed last on a construction project?
Because the sign fixes to a finished facade. The cladding, render, glazing and joinery all have to be complete before we can install, which puts the sign trade at the very end of the program.
Will my quoted price still be valid if the build runs late?
Quoted pricing typically holds for around 60 days, and for long programs of 18 months or more we factor a sensible inflation allowance into the quote up front. A delayed project generally won't blow out the number you budgeted for.
