Survey & Site Assessment

You receive a written assessment that includes site measurements, photographs of mounting surfaces and proposed sign locations, sightline notes from the relevant viewing angles, a summary of applicable sign code parameters (size, height, setback, illumination), electrical access notes, and recommendations for sign type and placement. Everything you need to make informed decisions about the next steps in your project.

Before design begins. The whole point of the assessment is to gather the information that drives the design (correct dimensions, code parameters, sightline-optimized placement, structural and electrical realities of the site). Designing first and assessing second is the most common cause of redesigns, permit rejections, and surprises on install day.

We pull the applicable municipal sign code for your property, identify zoning overlays that affect your site, review setback and frontage requirements, check illumination rules, and verify any HOA or landlord criteria that apply. The goal is a clear written summary of every code parameter that affects what you can install, so the design fits within code from the first draft.

Yes. Due diligence assessments are one of the most useful (and underused) services we provide. Before you sign a lease or close on a property, we evaluate the signage rights, code restrictions, and physical constraints. You go into the deal knowing exactly what signage is allowed, what it will cost, and whether visibility from the road matches your expectations.

A typical single-property assessment takes 60 to 90 minutes on-site, with the written report delivered within three to five business days. Multi-property or multi-sign assessments take longer. For scheduling, we usually have availability within one to two weeks, faster if your timeline is tight.
