Planning contractor and construction site signs
Separate the project-identification brief from required safety and traffic-control information. Have the responsible site professional supply and verify mandatory wording and specifications before production.

Give each sign one purpose
A contractor identification board introduces the project team; a delivery-direction sign tells drivers where to go. Map where each message will be read and identify the audience before combining everything on one panel. Keep public-facing branding distinct from information workers must act on.
Obtain approved requirements
OSHA’s construction sign standard addresses accident-prevention signs and traffic controls. Custom branding is not a substitute for the applicable requirements. Have the site owner or responsible professional identify the relevant standard, exact wording and approved specifications for any regulated sign.
Plan placement and replacement
Provide a site plan or marked photographs, proposed mounting surfaces and display duration. Discuss access for installation and whether the sign will move as the project progresses. Keep an approved artwork record so damaged signs or changed project information can be replaced consistently.
Compare the options.
