Turnkey Sign Project Management
A complex sign project involves dozens of moving parts, from city permits and engineering reviews to material sourcing, fabrication, and crew scheduling. Without an experienced hand guiding the process, it’s easy to face delays, budget overruns, and compliance issues.

What does “Turnkey” mean in the context of signage, and what is included in the service?
“Turnkey” means we manage the entire project from start to finish, handing you the finished product ready for use. You only deal with one single point of contact.
Our service typically includes:
Site Survey & Consulting: Assessing your location and local zoning rules.
Design & Engineering: Creating architectural drawings and ensuring code compliance.
Permitting: Handling all necessary municipal applications and paperwork.
Fabrication: Manufacturing the sign according to specifications.
Installation & Inspection: Setting up the sign and completing final regulatory checks.
How does a Turnkey Project Management approach save my business time and money?
The primary savings come from efficiency and risk reduction. When you manage the project yourself, you lose time coordinating separate designers, contractors, and city permit officials. With a turnkey solution, we centralize all responsibility, eliminating costly delays, preventing costly mistakes in the permitting phase, and ensuring the project adheres to a single, efficient timeline.
What is the average timeline from initial concept to final installation?
The timeline is dependent on the complexity and type of sign. Simple interior sign projects may take 4-6 weeks. However, for most complex exterior signs (like channel letters or pylon signs), the process averages 8 to 12 weeks. The longest single phase is typically Permitting and Approvals, which can take anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks depending on the municipality. We manage this timeline proactively to minimize client waiting time.
