The short answer
To get an accurate signage quote, share clear photos of the site, approximate wall or sign dimensions, your logo or artwork (ideally as vector files such as CDR, AI, PDF or SVG), the sign type you have in mind, your timeline, and any mall, landlord or society rules. A site visit then confirms measurements before final pricing.
Why preparation saves time
Most delays in signage projects come from missing information: a logo file that cannot be scaled, a wall size that was guessed, or a mall approval that was not requested. Sharing a few things early lets us give you a realistic quote and timeline.
Checklist
- Photos of the site. One straight-on photo of the wall, one from the street or where people will see the sign, and close-ups of the wall surface. Include something for scale if possible.
- Approximate dimensions. The width and height available for the sign, and the height of the wall from the ground. Approximate is fine at this stage; we confirm on site.
- Artwork. Your logo in a vector format such as CDR, AI, PDF or SVG. A JPG or a screenshot is fine to start, but production needs vector files.
- The look you want. Photos of signs you like, or tell us whether you prefer front-lit, halo-lit, metal or neon-style.
- Timeline. Your opening or handover date, and any fixed installation windows.
- Rules and approvals. Mall signage guidelines, landlord or society rules, and building permissions.
- Power. Where the nearest electrical point is, and whether the sign should run on a timer.
What happens next
After your enquiry, we review the details and may call to clarify. For most projects we then visit the site to measure and check the wall, access and power. Design and drawings follow, and we share a quotation once the specification is agreed.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Guessing sizes from photos. Perspective makes walls look smaller or larger than they are.
- Using low-resolution logos. They cannot be cut accurately and must be redrawn first.
- Leaving approvals late. Mall and landlord approvals can take time; start early.
- Forgetting the view at night. If customers arrive after dark, plan the lighting first.
