Although the entire process involves many steps, at Sign Partners we are here to take most work out of your hands. From the initial design, to permit drawings, permit application, fabrication and installation, we’ll do it all. Prior to starting the process of a new monument sign it’s important to determine your budget and select a state licensed sign company to work with.
The design process of a new Monument Sign
The first step in the process of a new Monument Sign is the design of the sign. If you have an existing design we will review that and create drawings for fabrication. If you require assistance with the design from scratch, our designers will be able to assist accordingly. We’ll carefully review your design requirements to come up with the perfect design. Since a permit is required for a monument sign, we’ll always review the sign code of your city. This is to make sure that the proposed design will pass the permit application.
The sign permit application
As mentioned in the previous step a permit is required in order to install a new monument sign. Even if you are refacing an existing monument sign a permit might be required. At Sign Partners we are familiar with the sign code in Boca Raton and all cities in the vicinity. It’s important to keep in mind that the permit application can be a lengthy process and will usually take between 4 – 8 weeks. In order to apply for a permit you need to be a state licensed contractor, because an individual can’t apply. Sign Partners is a State Licensed contractor and will apply for the sign permit on your behalf.
Fabrication
Based on the approved sign permit, we will start with the fabrication of the sign. Please be informed that we only start the actual fabrication of the sign after the sign permit is approved. The reason being, that the city sometimes requests changes to the design of the sign and the materials in order to approve the permit. Therefore the fabrication will be according to the approved drawings by the city or county.
Installation
The last part of the process if the sign installation and that’s where it gets exciting for you. You are finally able to see the end result of the process! Depending on the type of sign the installation of the monument sign might take several days. In addition to this the entrance might be blocked, for safety reasons and access of the truck. In order to keep the inconvenience for the community or office building to a minimum we always plan this together with you. We will discuss with the entire duration of the installation and schedule it according to your approval.
Summing up all the above might seem like an overwhelming process. However the good thing is that this is what we specialize in at Sign Partners. Therefore we’ll take most of the work out of your hands to make the process as smooth as possible. Do you have any further questions about a new monument sign for your community or office building?
