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.

Signage for the completion of a project

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. 

By working with Signs Express you can be assured that all of your signage needs throughout the project are supplied and managed by one company. Our offering includes a large range of interior and exterior signs and graphics, vehicle graphics and bespoke solutions.

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.

    Construction signage is crucial for maintaining safety standards, ensuring compliance, and keeping both your workforce and the public secure.

  • Q. What types of signs are commonly used on construction sites?
    Collapse Expand toggle icon

    From health and safety signs to bold hoarding panels and eye-catching building wraps, construction site signage plays a key role in managing site operations efficiently. Additionally, marketing suite branding ensures your project’s visibility doesn’t go unnoticed.

  • Q. Can I customise construction site signage with my brand?
    Collapse Expand toggle icon

    Absolutely! Our signage solutions can be fully customised with your brand’s colours, logo, and messaging. This helps reinforce your identity and adds a polished, professional touch that gets your brand noticed on site.

  • Q. How can construction signage support marketing efforts?
    Collapse Expand toggle icon

    Construction signage, like building wraps or vehicle graphics, is a fantastic marketing tool. It allows you to promote your project to passersby, share essential contact information, or create buzz with "coming soon" messages, all while maximising your marketing reach.

  • Q. What signs are used in construction?
    Collapse Expand toggle icon

    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?
    Collapse Expand toggle icon

    #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?
    Collapse Expand toggle 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.

I would like to say a huge thankyou to everyone at Signs Express Swansea, who helped us with a Communication Boards project. Sharon was very organised and professional, taking a site visit to make sure that the boards were the perfect size and well situated. Phil was always reassuring, talking us through the fitting process and confirming delivery. Adam and Andrew were very flexible with delivering the boards for us and fitting them so that they were just the right height to be accessed by all. The boards themselves look amazing, Stuart the graphic designer is extremely talented and made all the right tweaks to fill the space on the boards! Thanks so much to all of the team, I would highly recommend!

I contacted Signs express and they talked me through a few different price options and discussed my requirements. they pointed out that part of what I wanted would require the use of vinal wrap and explained why. they then sent me some ideas of what my van would look like. I requested to change a couple of bits and very quickly we had designed exactly what I was looking for. I proof checked it and got booked in for fitting. I dropped the van off in the morning and it was ready for collection in the afternoon, looking exactly how I wanted it. I highly recommend signs express, the whole process was excellent.

In January 2023 we made an initial order of some aluminium signage to be displayed in our elevators and communal stair landings. Since this first order, we have continued using the services of Signs Express for the past 2 years and have subsequently ordered a vast array of signage for our site in Leeds. Providing both an excellent service and a high quality product they are now our "go to" company for all our printing and signage requirements. Rick Nurse has always been extremely helpful and knowledgeable when discussing our requirements. His expertise means he is able to ensure all our requirements are exceeded and that we receive the best product. Highly recommended!
