Commercial signage
Your building is the first thing anyone sees. It should say the right thing.
Building and fascia signage, illuminated letters, pylons and interior identity for commercial, industrial and retail sites. The same standards we apply to a dealership rollout, applied to your premises.
AutoArmor and Profilm, Gauteng
No CI manual. The same standard anyway.
A dealership rollout arrives with a design manual that specifies every dimension. Most commercial work does not. What you have instead is a logo, a building, a landlord and a date.
That is the part people underestimate. Putting a sign on a building means drawings, structure, fixings, power and access, on a site whose programme was written before anyone thought about signage.
That part is what we do.
What we handle
From the facade to the front desk.
Building & Fascia Signage
Illuminated and non-illuminated letters, logo panels and fascia signs, engineered for the structure they are going onto rather than the one in the render. We produce the technical drawings, specify the materials and the fixing, manage the fabrication and run the installation. Where a site needs municipal sign approval, that sits with your consultant and we supply the drawings and specifications they work from.
Coca-Cola CPS, Swaziland
Built-Up Letters & Logo Work
Dimensional letters, built-up logos and face-lit elements, made to the brand's own artwork rather than a close approximation of it. Colour matched, finished and checked against the specification before it leaves for site.
One supplier for everything on the building.
Most sites need more than one kind of sign, and splitting them across three suppliers is how colours stop matching and dates start slipping. We cover the lot on one brief.

On site
Installation is the part that goes wrong.
Scaffold or machine, a live site, a delivery window and a structure nobody surveyed properly. Fabrication is rarely what sinks a signage job. The install is.
We run the site
Access, sequencing and the trades working around us, on a programme that was written before signage was on it.
One contract
You appoint us, not a fabricator and a rigger and an electrician who have never met each other.
Still our call afterwards
A lamp out or a damaged panel two years later comes back to us, not to whoever happened to be cheapest that month.
Clear steps. No surprises. Open on the date you planned.
Brief & Site
Tell us the brand, the building and the date. We look at the structure, the access and what the site will physically allow, then come back with a scope, a timeline and a quote.
Drawings & Specification
Technical drawings, materials, finishes and fixing details, plus the documentation your landlord, consultant or council submission needs. Everything agreed before anything is made.
Production & Install
Production under our supervision, then we run the site. Access, sequencing and every trade under our watch, around whoever else is still working there.
Sign Off & After
Site walk, punch list, handover. A lamp out or a damaged panel two years later is still our call to take, not someone else's.
One building today. The portfolio after that.
Most commercial clients come to us with one site and stay for the rest. Same drawings, same standards, same single point of contact, whether it is a head office, a distribution centre or the tenth branch in a retail group.
If you are fitting out a new building, rebranding an existing one, or replacing signage that was done badly the first time, talk to us before you appoint anyone.
Commercial signage, answered.
What kinds of commercial signage do you install?
Building and fascia signs, illuminated built-up letters, pylons and totems, monument and entrance signs, reception and interior branding, wayfinding, window film, and vehicle livery. Most sites need several of these, and we cover them on one brief.
Where do you work?
We are Gauteng based and work nationwide. We have also installed across the border in Swaziland.
Do you handle council approval for signage?
No. Municipal sign approval sits with your consultant. We supply the drawings and specifications they need for the submission.
Can you match an existing brand exactly?
Yes. We work from the brand's own artwork and colour references, not an approximation. The Coca-Cola CPS sign in Swaziland was built from the supplied artwork and checked against the specification before it went to site.
Do you maintain signage after it is installed?
Yes. Lamp failures, damaged panels, refurbishment and replacement all come back to us, whether or not we did the original installation.
New building. New brand. Up and lit on time.
Tell us about the site and the date. We'll scope it from there.
