Survey
Breaking down the process
Breaking down the entire "shop exterior" or "shop interior" process into manageable steps all starts with a simple site survey of your establishment and is the beginning of getting your signage set up to match your demands and requirements.
Survey and Planning
No matter what the size of the project, Compugrafix®'s experienced team can complete a thorough signage audit which includes travelling to the job site, taking pictures of signs, marking the location of the signs on a location plan or map, capturing and collecting accurate and precise information about any existing signs.
The length of time it takes to make a sign can vary depending on the location, materials, usage and complexity. We will strive to meet your expectations on deadlines and turnaround time. While some projects may be ready within 24 hours, other projects make take longer to complete.
Professional Signage Surveys and Site Signage Auditing are generally a key part of the project planning process.
Would I need planning permission?
Firstly, it's always helpful to be compliant with your location's laws or regulations. Most local authorities are eager to work with you to support your business thereby boosting the local economy. Safety is therefore vital for residents and neighbours around your establishment, so your signs must be erected safely and we'll ensure that each design is clear and professional. So, planning permission is necessary.
Local authorities & your outdoor signage
All local planning authorities are responsible for the day-to-day operation of the signage or advert control systems, and for deciding whether a particular signage is deemed safe, permitted or not.
If the planning authority refuse consent for your signage, or require you to remove an existing signage, you still do have a right to appeal against their decision.
