Construction signs

Communicating safety information on construction sites is vital. Building sites, no matter where they are, can be dangerous for workers and the public because of increased hazards and dangers.

Construction signs are important for keeping everyone safe and alerting them to potential dangers.

It’s not just safety where construction signs can pay dividends, however. Construction companies can also leverage a variety of different signs to meet different commercial and compliance goals.

Utilising construction signage

01
Ensure compliance - displaying construction safety signs is compulsory. High visibility signage can make sure construction sites follow rules and laws for safety and compliance.
02
Showcase your professionalism - construction site signs and van graphics can enhance a project or site’s overall organisation and professionalism and leave a positive impression on clients, business partners and key stakeholders.
03
Enhance on-site efficiency - wayfinding signage can clearly indicate different areas of the site, materials, equipment, and other key information, helping to deliver clarity, maintain order and enhance efficiency among workforces.
04
Advertise your services - construction signs such as banners serve as a powerful marketing tool, which show the company name, logo, contact details and a brief description of services offered. Bold graphics and vibrant colours can also help to capture the attention of potential clients, driving increased sales.

  • Q. What should my construction sign be made of?
    Expandtoggle icon

    Construction signs should ideally be made from lightweight, durable, easy to clean materials. Lightweighting will enable users to easily move and install signs as needed. Durability will ensure signs are able to withstand various weather conditions and potential impacts from equipment or debris. And being easy to clean will make removing dust, mud or other dirt a quick and seamless process.
