Consultation
Our consulting team will listen and work closely with you to understand your specific signage needs. Extensive site evaluations and in-depth architectural reviews are conducted to ensure maximum identification. After carefully reviewing your signage requirements, CanAm will proceed by conducting a comprehensive site survey of your premises to uncover any potential risks, and to ensure that our signage solution meets and exceeds your needs and your budget.
An analysis of sign ordinances are performed to guarantee your signage will be in compliance with applicable building and zoning codes. Team planning is initiated and includes a complete phased process plan that ensures that your project is right for you and that we have maximized size and exposure. CanAm promises to leave nothing to chance, and you can rest assured that no detail will be overlooked throughout your project.
Graphic Design
Working in a team environment, our experienced designers listen to our clients, understand their needs and begin developing design options that best fit the needs of the project. This system ensures concepts are inspiring and on point. Using digital photography and software, CanAm’s designers are able to show your signage concepts ‘installed’ in either photographs or in digital renderings of your business and environment. This allows you to see how the end-product will actually look and helps establish a frame of reference to prevent any need for costly adjustments to be made during the fabrication and installation phases of your project.
Once the signage concepts have been approved, our design team develops detailed specifications drawings. These specifications usually include but are not limited to: dimensions, materials, visuals, typefaces, color selections and image sizing – all to ensure consistency of approved signage systems. After approval, production drawings are completed and reviewed, permitted and then sent to output to the manufacturing team.
