PROJECT MANAGEMENT Signage project management services involve the coordination, planning, and execution of projects related to the design, fabrication, and installation of various types of signage. These services play a crucial role in ensuring that signage projects are completed successfully, on time, and within budget. From start to finish, our team of project managers coordinate with timelines, corporations, general & other contractors, municipalities, landlords, and more so that you can focus on your business and not get distracted by all of the moving parts. CONSULTATIONS & SITE VISITS Strategic Factory works with you to collect information on your site with a consultation identifying all signage, branding, and wayfinding opportunities and needs. We walk through legal requirements, strategy, advise on appropriate materials and methods, and do visits on-site or via video call. If applicable, Strategic Factory can also connect with landlords to determine existing signage criteria and requirements. TECHNICAL SITE SURVEYS Strategic Factory will perform a detailed site survey, photographing & measuring applicable areas including but not limited to: wiring, access for signs and installation equipment, sizes of existing signage, permissibility for local regulations, visibility factors, build of existing surfaces for suitability factors, and more. DESIGNS & APPROVALS Strategic Factory can create all designs or review designs provided by the client. Whether providing your own or using Strategic Factory design services, proofs and renderings are made for all projects. A full review process is provided with time to revise designs. Once approved, formal designs are sent to production.
