What materials should my sign be made from?

Depending on the purpose of your sign, where your sign is going to be placed and even down to how much light or sunlight your sign may be exposed to, can determine what your sign should be made from and what colour and finish will work the best, how will the sun or the wind act on your sign? What's the purpose of your sign? What is your budget for the signage you require? We can give you experienced sound advice to answer these questions and any other questions you may have regarding which material will work where and why.
Can Sign Guys handle large signs and big fitout projects?
We're the Sign Guys, signs are what we do, we can handle a full store or office signage fit out, a supermarket full of signs or a chain of multi site stores nationwide, freestanding signs, pylons, monoliths, building branding, you name it we can make and manage it.
What colours work best and what size should my sign be? How will my brand look on my sign and will it be legible?
Your branding may have particular colouring and layout considerations which may need some careful thought as to making sure the design of your sign meets your brand guidelines and that it stands out in the surrounding environment it is to be placed, with our knowledge and experience we can make sure your brand and signage is treated with care and attention. We will provide you with the best options and artwork for you to make informed decisions on what is going to work best and how your sign will be produced to guarantee your branding looks right.
Will your sign need engineering designs, producer statements or council approvals?
If your sign needs to be extra large, freestanding or up high, say on top of a building, there might be a good chance you are going to need to get council consent which could well require some engineering drawings made so a structural engineer can run structural calculations to make sure that your sign can stand up to the elements (tensile strength needs to be determined, storm stresses, water proofing flashing details for building protrusions may be needed to allow fixing points and power supply and even possibly seismic conditions may all need to be considered). On engineering approval signed producer statements can be issued for provision to council. We can arrange to get drafting drawings made for your signage project that can then be assessed by a structural engineer to approve and provide the required producer statements for fabrication work to then get underway. We have gone through these larger work projects before and know the process and though it sounds complicated we can help make this process easy to understand and provide you with the necessary information, management processes and documentation so that you will have peace of mind that your project is in the right hands.
What council, health and safety aspects do I need to consider?
Health and safety of our workers and staff on your site and in our workshop is most important to us, we keep up to date with all government and council requirements and provide the appropriate systems and training for all of our guys to carry out their work safely. We can run through with you and your team any processes that may be required by council for road closure, traffic management or environmental requirements. We are work safe qualified for for all on site work requirements that may play a part on your sign project. We will make sure everyone is well communicated to with processes and all documentation is provided for so work can be carried out as safely as possible. Council do have their own guidelines and bylaws regarding signage and what their size and placement needs to be, we are well versed in all of these areas and can let you know what process and/or equipment may be required for your sign project. Give us a call to talk through your project with us today and we can help you through the details.
