Commercial signage packages for construction and fitout projects

Signage on a commercial project is rarely a single item. A building can need statutory and safety signage, accessible and tactile signs, room identification, wayfinding, directories, reception lettering and external identification, each with its own drawings, specification, approvals and installation timing.

QR Pack It coordinates that range as one package, scoped to your project and priced against your drawings and specifications, rather than sold as individual products. A package can draw on any of these signage types:

• Braille and tactile: accessible and statutory signage for compliance requirements.
• Room identification: architectural room and door signage against your drawings.
• Internal wayfinding: directional signage guiding occupants through the building.
• Directories and maps: building directories and maps to help visitors navigate from arrival.
• Reception and lobby: dimensional lettering and logos for the entrance.
• External identification: building identification for façades and entrances.
• Statutory and safety: regulatory and safety signage to meet statutory requirements.
• Monument and pylon: large-format signage for developments and business parks.
• Custom project signage: large-scale installations coordinated end to end.

Where a project only needs part of that range, individual elements can be supplied and coordinated on the same basis.

• Builders and head contractors: who need signage priced into a tender and then delivered against the construction programme, without adding a separate management load to the site team.
• Developers: delivering commercial and development projects where signage runs from statutory and wayfinding scope through to external identification.
• Fitout contractors: working to tenancy fitout programmes, where signage has to be coordinated with other trades and finished for handover.
• Architects and design teams: whose signage schedules, drawings and specifications need to be reviewed against what will actually be supplied and installed.
• Commercial clients and property owners: who want signage delivered and documented as part of a managed package.

Buying signage item by item leaves the coordination with the project team: drawing approvals, delivery timing, installation sequencing and the documentation required at handover. Managing it as a package puts that coordination in one place.

QR Pack It's role is to manage and coordinate the package. We work between the project team and the signage supply chain, reviewing what the documents require, ordering and supplying the package, and keeping approvals, programme and records aligned.

1. 01

   Tender and scope review

   Your drawings, specifications and signage schedule are reviewed, measured and priced before the tender closes. Read more about signage tendering and scope review.

2. 02

   Procurement

   Ordering and supply are managed as one package, with shop drawings prepared and approved. Read more about commercial signage procurement.

3. 03

   Project management and installation coordination

   Signage timing is sequenced against the project programme, installation is coordinated with the site team, and the package is closed out with quality assurance records and approvals. Read more about signage project management and installation coordination.

• Scope gaps at tender: signage requirements are spread across drawings, specifications and the signage schedule. Reviewing them together before pricing reduces the chance of unpriced scope surfacing after award.
• Approval delays: shop drawings are prepared and taken through approval, so approvals are not left until fabrication is due.
• Programme clashes: signage timing is aligned with the build schedule, with installation coordinated with the site team.
• Changes during the project: variations are reviewed, priced and coordinated through the same process as the original scope, with documentation kept current.
• Incomplete handover: quality assurance records, approvals and a close-out package are finalised for handover.

Most often at tender stage, when the signage scope needs to be reviewed and priced as part of a submission. QR Pack It can also be engaged after award, when a signage package needs to be procured and programmed. If you have a tender closing date, include it when you submit the project.

Send your drawings, specifications or signage schedule through Submit a Project and we'll respond with a considered proposal.
