Your building signage is often the first thing a customer sees — before they walk in, before they check your website, before anything else about your business. It needs to be legible from the street, durable through Auckland's weather, and unmistakably yours. Unlike a vehicle wrap, it's also usually going up once and staying there for years, so getting it right the first time matters more.

What we make

What we plan around

A shop sign that looks right in a design file can still fail on the wall if the planning misses real-world details. We work through frontage size, viewing distance, the speed and direction of passing traffic, existing wall condition, available lighting and power, your brand colours, and any council requirements that apply to the site — heritage zones and some commercial areas have specific rules about size, illumination and placement.

Materials chosen for the building, not just the design

Weather-rated aluminium composite panel, acrylic, vinyl, LED modules and fixings are selected around the building's exposure and the sign's expected lifespan — a coastal-facing shopfront and a sheltered mall unit don't call for the same specification, even if the artwork is identical.

Design, fabrication and installation, one team

We handle concept, production and installation in-house rather than outsourcing fabrication to a third party. That matters most on signage that's dimensional or illuminated, where a design that looks good on screen can be impractical to actually build and mount — our production team is involved early enough to catch that before it becomes a problem on-site.

Common Questions

Building & shopfront signage FAQs

Do you handle council consent for building signage?

We can advise on what's likely to need consent and prepare the documentation, but the consent application itself is lodged with your local council. Signage rules vary by zone and by whether the building is in a heritage area, so it's worth raising early — it can affect timeframes more than the fabrication does.

How long does building signage take from order to installation?

It varies more than vehicle work because it depends on fabrication complexity and whether council consent or a building access permit is needed. Simple fascia signage can be a couple of weeks; illuminated or 3D letter signage with consent involved can run longer. We give a firm timeframe with your quote rather than a guess.

What's the difference between illuminated signage and 3D letters?

3D letters are dimensional, cut or fabricated letterforms that stand off the wall for depth and shadow — they can be lit or unlit. Illuminated signage specifically has an internal or external light source, commonly LED, so the sign reads clearly after dark. Many shopfronts use illuminated 3D letters, combining both.

Can you match my existing shopfront branding?

Yes. Send us your brand guidelines or logo files and we'll match to them. Printed vinyl and illuminated acrylic render colour differently to screen and paper, so for critical brand colours we can produce a sample before committing to the full sign.
