One of the industries we work with most at ARC UK is the construction industry. From heras fencing cover to HSE-compliant safety signage, we have a great deal of experience with construction signage of all scales and sizes. We can create artwork, supply printed materials and even install your construction signage. Read on to find out more.

Why use construction signage?

There are many reasons why signage is required in the construction industry. The first is for safety purposes and regulations – ensuring that safety protocols are clearly communicated reduces accidents and puts the health and safety of employees and the public first. It can also be used to educate and inform the public, from expected work completion dates to details about the project.

Another important benefit of construction signage is brand recognition. You can reach a wider audience by displaying your brand on hoardings around a building site, banners in the local area, or even by using branded vehicle livery to advertise your name and message on the go. This is an easy way of advertising yourself by letting your high-quality graphics do the talking, with the added benefit of cutting down on marketing costs! Once your signage is installed, it acts as a long-term advertising method.

Using high-quality and visually engaging graphics is important, as customers will assume that this reflects the credibility of your brand. ARC UK provides exceptional prints and designs, ensuring that your brand will always look its best.

Types of construction signage

Whether you have heras fencing or modular hoarding surrounding your construction site, we can provide expert advice for eye-catching designs and clear information. Read more about the benefits of using modular hoarding.

Wayfinding signage is a vital addition to any construction site, as it ensures that staff and visitors can navigate the area with ease. Even after construction is complete, it’s important to have clear wayfinding signage available in your buildings.

Wayfinding signage can include directional signs, informational signs, or identification signs, indicating to visitors where to find facilities or rooms. ARC UK can produce bespoke signage for your office, shopping centre, or car park complete with easy-to-read fonts and branded designs. Take a look at some of our previous work to see what we’re capable of.

We can also produce safety signs to be used on construction sites, ensuring your site meets any and all safety regulations from fire exit signs to rules and safety instructions. By using a digital printing method instead of traditional offset printing, ARC UK can produce prints with more detail included in the image. The digital images are printed directly onto the media of choice using laser printers or liquid ink printers. Removing the pre-press step of traditional offset printing along with printing plates, the result is a cleaner, more efficient process and more detailed images.

If you’re interested in custom construction signage, get in touch with us to find out how ARC UK can help with your next project.
