Process

From a sketch to lit metal, in four steps.

Every project runs on the same rails. Brief, design, fabricate, install. Simple on paper. Disciplined in practice.

  1. 01

    Brief & site

    We start with your brand and your wall — not with a template. You share wordmarks, fonts, and references. We visit or photograph the install site, measure viewing distances, and document existing lighting conditions at day, dusk, and night.

    Outputs
    Brief doc · Site photos · Measured wall drawing
  2. 02

    Design & scale mockup

    CAD drawings of the sign in position, rendered at the actual install scale. Day, dusk, and night conditions. Sectional drawings showing LED placement and mounting. You approve a single final render before a piece of metal is cut.

    Outputs
    Scale renders · Section drawings · Spec sheet
  3. 03

    Fabrication

    Precision metalwork and acrylic forming. UL-listed power supplies and LED modules chosen for colour temperature, lumen output, and longevity. Quality-checked twice before it leaves the shop — once at assembly, once at pre-ship.

    Outputs
    Finished sign · QA log · Spare parts kit
  4. 04

    Install & warranty

    Licensed install crew handles mounting, electrical connection, and compliance paperwork. After sign-off, we hand over a five-year warranty on illuminated components and a maintenance note for your property manager.

Timeline honesty.

Most projects run four to six weeks from brief to install. Rush jobs can ship in two. Complex monument installations or multi-location retail rollouts run longer — we'll tell you before we commit.

What we won't do: quote a timeline we can't hit. Honest dates beat optimistic ones every time.

Typical lead times
Door & office signs
2–3 weeks
Channel letters (standard)
4–5 weeks
Light boxes
4–6 weeks
Monument & pylon
6–10 weeks
LED displays
8–12 weeks

Verified at quote; timelines depend on site + permit requirements.
