What is a site survey for? by Impression Signs – Oakdale, MN

Site Surveys
What are they and why do I need one?

Often times you may already know what you want your end project to  look like but you have no idea how to  get there, or how to transform   what you already have to what you want to have. With projects such as illuminated letters, cabinets, electronic message boards,  sometimes even vinyl, a site survey has to take place for your sign provider to get a good idea of what is already going on and how we can help transform it into your dream project.

Anything is possible but to determine cost and direction a complete write-up and inquiry about the building, area or existing signage has to be determined first. A site survey not only helps provide more accurate information but ensures that the project will be a successful one.

Not all site surveys are treated the same, depending on the request they may consist of photographs, linear measurements, elevation measurements, description of current existing signs along with any irregularities we may have to keep in mind moving forward.   Every site survey is tailored to the customer or city’s needs for finding the right solution the first time.

Emails and phone calls are great in initiating a project but nothing helps specify the demands and scope of the actual project like a hands-on site survey.
