  4. Interior wayfinding signs

    Pat, apartment signs and office buildings are the same, there is way more than just the ID sign but how many times do sign people ask about the other signs...

    Please... not "graphics design" the tiny hairs in the back of my head stand up when I hear that... I checked out the company, the learning curve is not as bad as if this place was a complete architectural signage company. Looks like a nice gig. You will want to babysit the jobs for the main...
  6. Interior wayfinding signs

    I agree. but now that you know, you might still be stuck with Scott for affordable extrusion based directories. They are all pretty much pricey, if I had too, I actually prefer Clarke... and from the capabilities brochure I have, they do custom colors, but I am not a sign shop. They may treat...
  7. 8'x8' MDO

    I have gotten that spec before... the nimrod designer was looking at MDF and figured MDO had the same sizes. I get this crap all the time. I actually have gotten a few clients off me asking questions by reviewing their specs before they go out to bid. If this is an open bid, and IF there is an...

  10. Interior wayfinding signs

    How big are the hospitals? Is this up for bid or have the signs been designed already? The bigger they are, the less fun they tend to be. (unless you are a code geek)
  11. Interior wayfinding signs

    Lighten up Fresh.. I'm a one man design shop trying to make a living, but have been around to know that is a small order and the quoted turn around time seems too fast for a company like Scott.
  12. Interior wayfinding signs

    I would say a few ADA manufacturers are good at catching mistakes... but you have to ask them to double check. You, as the contractor are the ones liable for non-compliant signs... in my neck of the woods that is 10,000 bucks per violation. I don't think you need to be expert enough to rattle...
  13. Interior wayfinding signs

    You are correct, they should stick to their turnaround time, and probably ream that rep a new hole or can 'em. As Circleville points out, ADA signs usually are submitted for a bid as a system. If you have a multi story office building. That might entail room id's, amenity ID's, back of house...
  14. Interior wayfinding signs

    For ADA signs, 1400 bucks is a tiny order. 10-12 days is rocket speed. I'm surprised anyone would throw out a random turn around time like that. Mosh, have the signs been designed? Are you looking for the company to do the planing, design them, and you install? Do you know ADA and...

  16. Tired of Being told how much $$ you should make?

    Price arguments is something I do not get upset about. I have a number that has been determined after years of making pricing mistakes... the number I give is the one that allows me to stay in business, get new equipment, upgrade my software, and occasionally be profitable...
  17. Scion wrap

    I got the Scion XB a few days before launch, I got laughed at, followed and asked a million questions, and praises... I dig the IQ... I really dig the souped up one they had at the Auto Show.
  18. What, exactly, makes sign people qualified to design anything?

    I agree and kinda don't agree... The only reason I see a WELL QUALIFIED sign shop who knows the design process turning down a large logo/branding project is: They are too busy taking orders, digging holes, coating mdo, going to the hardware store and getting some bolt attachment, ordering...
