What is Signage?
Signage includes the signs used in and around a building to guide people, share information, identify spaces, or support branding.
Definition
Purpose
The main purpose of Signage is to communicate clearly with the people using a space.
Good Signage helps visitors find their way, supports safety, and makes a building easier to navigate. Digital signage can also be updated quickly, which makes it useful for changing messages, schedules, promotions, or public notices.
Examples of Use
- A contractor installs Signage outside a building to show the company name and entrance location.
- A hospital uses Signage to guide patients to departments, elevators, and exits.
- A retail store adds digital signage near the entrance to show offers and product updates.
- An estimator includes Signage quantities in the finish or specialty scope of a construction estimate.
Notes
- Signage can be used indoors, outdoors, or on a job site.
- Digital signage uses screens instead of printed or fixed signs.
- Good Signage should be easy to read, correctly placed, and suited to the space.
- The material, size, lighting, mounting method, and location can affect Signage cost.
- Signage is often included in architectural, specialty, or final finish takeoffs.
