"60-70% of bid requests for signage submitted by General Contractors to sign companies are very vague without clear detail of project requirements. Mainly, because of the plans."

General Contractors

The modern world of architectural structures is an accomplishment, the hard work of general contractors (GC). They are given the very difficult task of translating design plans into reality. They always seem to do a good job.

Amazingly today, there is no way for the GC to implement a sign schedule after plans have been submitted to build. GC’s are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Almost always the GC announces, “We forgot the signs!” Because architects do not have a guideline to create signage from, the GC usually gets stuck at the end of a project to scramble for signs. This is a pervasive anomaly of the construction industry that no one is addressing. There is a tremendous amount of wasted time, energy,  and frustration simply because no one will attempt to address the issue. This is a fact.

Where does one begin?

Chatterbox Designs, Inc. (CDI) is a sign design training and sign consulting company with an extensive array of designing signs for new projects.  We know exactly what type of signs are needed for any project for general contractors.

From years of experience, we have received plans for a new project and 95 percent of the time, we have to “figure out” what signs are needed, based (merely) on a floor plan. Because we understand the requirements of Fire Marshalls and a city's requirement to issue a “temporary occupancy permits," CDI will assist your construction company and take the “guessing game” out of your project. We are experts in the field of required signage.

We assist general contractors with:

  • A comprehensive outline of exterior and interior signage for projects.
  • We take the guess game out of the “blank floor plan.”
  • Teach all the tricks of the trade to speed up the sign ordering process.
  • Reveal all the standard sign design formats for every standard sign made
  • A bottomline solution for sign-order-to-sign-install results for your company
