We are happy to report that the final phase of the Chef’s Warehouse exterior building signs is now complete. The two post and panel signs, one delineating the visitor entrance and the other helping to direct suppliers to the delivery area, are both in place. We had originally worked with the Architexture Group designer who had had a disastrous experience with the former sign company, to correctly refabricate the exterior building sign. These two newly completed post and panel signs represented the final phase of the project which took a few months to complete.
SignWorks, Inc., located in Hayward CA was happy to work with Architexture Group’s design staff on modifications to the original post and panel signs. They were upgraded to a more visually pleasing design complete with white post sleeves and caps, as well as the ¾” thick 48” by 48” MDO panels that were CNC routed to form an arch. The routing work was performed by our local partner, Neal’s CNC in Hayward.
Though we conducted a detailed site survey initially, we still had to wait for PG&E to confirm that we could dig in the locations we had selected without hitting underground utility lines. Sometimes even though a client has selected what they believe is the best place for a particular sign, utility lines can make a specific location impossible to use. Once this second site visit was done and confirmation that the locations were OK to dig, our two man crew used an auger to set the posts in concrete.
