When a new building project breaks ground, most of the attention goes to the structure itself – steel beams, foundations, and finishing touches or upgrades. But one element that should be considered from the start is signage. From early construction to the final ribbon-cutting, signage guides visitors, promotes business, and elevates the overall look and feel of a property.
Whether you’re constructing an office park, retail center, or multifamily development, signage is a key investment that shapes how your location is perceived and experienced.
Why Signage Matters in New Construction
Visibility from Day One
During construction, temporary signs establish your presence and communicate details like leasing opportunities, future tenants, and project timelines. For example, when ABC Youngsville developed its first one-of-a-kind retail location, illuminated exterior signage and branded wayfinding were essential in creating excitement before doors even opened. By making signage part of the early build, the project quickly drew attention and reinforced the brand’s unique concept.
Safety and Navigation
Directional and safety signage protect workers, visitors, and the public during construction. Later, permanent wayfinding ensures residents, customers, and employees can easily move through the space. When working with Youngsville Animal Hospital, our team balanced construction schedules and occupancy requirements to deliver ADA-compliant interior signs and clear exterior branding. The signage package not only met safety standards but also supported seamless navigation for staff and clients on opening day.
Brand Identity and Curb Appeal
Custom signs give a development its personality. A well-designed monument or building sign sets the tone for the businesses or residences inside while maintaining compliance with codes.
With both ABC Youngsville & Youngsville Animal Hospital, we met with the teams early on in the building process to discuss what types of signs were needed – including interior, ADA, lobby logo and exam room signs with pull tabs. We were able to use the new buildings’ design, color palettes, and logo to create signage that is not only functional but appealing an on brand. The signage was designed to flow with the architecture of the buildings and enhance the environment for clients and customers.
The most successful signage projects begin at the same time as the construction drawings. When our team is brought in early, we ensure compliance with codes, plan for electrical needs, and coordinate installation alongside your construction schedule. This proactive approach avoids costly changes and guarantees a smooth handoff at project completion, ready to use your new space.
