Sugarland, TX – ADA Signage for New Constructions

There are obvious costs when constructing a new office building. One of the main advantages, however, is that you can get everything they way that you want it, right from the start. This goes for everything from individual room locations and sizes to the signage that will direct people around the property. It’s important to get your signage right, because non-compliance with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) guidelines mean that your building may not give people equal rights to access and could land you with a hefty fine.

Many signs will be required for a new construction, especially if a new business will be entering the premises. It makes sense, therefore, to make sure that your signs are ADA compliant. This will save money not only on fines, but on unnecessary designs and installation.

It’s worth noting that not all of your signs will need to be ADA compliant. Temporary signs, advertising and marketing, logos and brand names, for example, don’t need to adhere to the ADA guidelines. The ones to consider are the directional and functional signs. These need to be of the correct size and in the correct locations, among other factors to consider.

If you need to create a lot of new signage, it’s wise to use one firm that understands ADA compliance. At Dream Signs, we know which signs need to be ADA compliant and which are exempt.
