What to include in a custom signage quotation brief
A useful signage quotation starts with a clear brief: approved artwork, overall dimensions, site photographs, location, illumination needs and the installation timeline. Add access and approval constraints so proposals can be compared against the same scope.
1. Share artwork and the reading task
Provide vector artwork where available, the wording to display and any brand guidelines. Explain who will read the sign, from where and at what distance. Include languages, logo proportions and colours that must remain consistent. Distinguish an illuminated name sign from a programmable digital display; those are different requirements.
2. Document each installation location
Include a wide view of the wall or facade and closer photographs of the fixing area. Mark available dimensions and known surface materials. For several signs, prepare a location schedule with one reference per position. Record power availability, access restrictions, site working hours and building-management contacts responsible for approvals.
3. Agree what each quotation includes
Compare material, thickness, finish, letter depth, illumination, mounting, electrical connections, transport and installation scope. Identify any drawings, samples or site assessments included in the proposal. Ask who is responsible for structural or electrical review and obtaining permissions. A low total is not comparable if it excludes work that another proposal includes.
4. Set approval and handover stages
Identify who approves artwork, samples and installation details. State the target date and any dependency on other trades or site readiness. Agree what records will be supplied at handover, including final drawings, product information and care instructions. Keep later changes in writing so the approved brief and the final sign remain aligned.
