Often, one of the last thoughts on new or existing property is the signage. In reality, this should be a major consideration starting in the pre-development phase. Adequate allowances need to be made for this vital expenditure.

Signs make the first and most lasting impression of your property, so be certain it is the impression you intend to make. Expertly designed, well placed signage shows attention to detail and informs prospective owners, tenants, visitors and clients that they are dealing with competent, quality-oriented individuals.

Should the property require more than just the main identity sign, have all the required signs designed at the same time. This ensures continuity throughout, even if subsequent phases or changing tenants require signage months or years after the initial package. Finding signs of different materials, shapes, designs, or just mismatched details tells potential clients the signage has been added piecemeal and, evidently, by different companies. This translates as poor planning, possible ownership changes, or even financial problems – a negative first impression any developer can ill-afford.
