Why do you need signage for construction sites?
With construction sites your signage needs fall into two categories; firstly signage that is necessary to ensure compliance with guidelines, and secondly promotional signage to advertise and market your business or development. Often, these two needs can be fulfilled with the same solutions when you design efficiently and creatively.
Through signage you can:
- Protect workers and the general public from potential hazards
- Comply with industry guidelines
- Advertise projects and developments
- Showcase your work
Making sure your site is a safe place to work and protecting the general public is very important. We have access to a full suite of health and safety signage, covering everything you may need for your construction or building site. These signs and graphics can also be branded with your company name and details, offering another chance to show your presence at a site.
What other benefits are there of construction site signage?
Don’t forget the advertising potential of your signage, especially for development and building sites where there is high footfall. For example, you can use hoardings and building wraps to advertise the development with ‘coming soon’ messages for retail outlets or price and contact details for residential projects. Marketing suites are also very common for housing developments, offering space for prospective customers to find information and wait for viewings.
When you’re working off-site and on the road the advertising opportunities don’t stop. You’re driving one of the most powerful marketing tools at your disposal, so don’t waste that opportunity. People in the local area, and potentially beyond, will know exactly who you are, what you do and how to contact you, getting your business the attention it deserves.

You may need to source signs and graphics for the completion of your project before it is handed over to the client. Often these signs are specified by the architect and are in the tender documents provided.

About
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 signs are used in construction?Expand
Construction sites typically feature a variety of different signs that each serve a different purpose. All construction sites feature safety signs designed to protect both workers and the public. Construction signs can also include informational signs and those that are designed for marketing purposes.
- Q. What are the five types of safety signs displayed on construction sites?Expand
#1 – Mandatory. Blue signs that instruct people to follow actions they must obey to maintain safety.
#2 – Warning. Alerts all parties of the dangers on a construction site and are yellow in colour.
#3 – Prohibition. Red signs which indicate that access to certain areas is off limits.
#4 – Safe condition. Guides users to safe equipment or locations such as first aid kits, fire exits or fire assembly points, which are green in colour.
#5 – Fire safety. Green signs which instruct users regarding fire safety equipment such as fire hydrants, fire blankets or fire extinguishers. - Q. What should my construction sign be made of?Expand
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.
