SignWorks is pleased to that one of our favorite contractors, Alameda Point Developers, reached out to us for parking tags for their Storehouse 8 Phase 1 which is now complete. It was a massive project with over 130 ADA tenant signs in a variety of sizes, including evacuation maps, which took quite a few rounds of design changes due to several varying sets of inputs, as well as many accessible parking signs. The hang tags were easy compared to the many previous ADA, evacuation maps and tenant signs.
When Phase 2 begins we hope we can apply some of what we learned during Phase 1, so the project moves along even more smoothly whether it is for tenant signage or parking security/hang tags.
The Building 8 Storehouse development is a mixed use commercial space that houses retail, live-work lofts, a roof top garden, café and much more. The large banner, 10 ft. wide by 35 ft. tall pictorial was hung months ago. It was developed, designed and fabricated to maximize visibility for the project and to advertise to potential clients and residents. Our crew installed it from the roof level down, ending about 10 ft. from the ground. The client is as pleased with the new hang tags ( 170 in all) as they were with the building banner and exterior blade sign completed previously.
SignWorks prides itself for maintain relationships with several local contractors large and small producing everything from project identification signs, interior ADA tenant signs and evacuation maps, to various fire safety, stair IDs and more. Our list of past construction clients has included construction giants, Turner Construction, Cahill Contractors, Shimmick, Clark Construction Group, The Gap (Corporate Office, Pleasanton), and some smaller local construction firms such as Alameda Point Developers, Atkinson Construction, A-One Construction, Chambers Construction and Silman Industries..
Often, and only because the signs are usually one of the last items addressed by the architect, the sign information is lacking or incomplete with the specifications and quantities undefined. Another frequent challenge is that on occasion our contractors are so immersed with a renovation project only to get targeted for compliance issues by the Fire Department because of lacking or outdated fire safety and evacuation maps. Many sign companies are not as well equipped or versed in understanding these guidelines, so some of our clients are delighted to have found us! Most continue to be loyal repeat customers to this very day.
We think it is safe to say that our construction clients keep us busy! For more information on this and related construction renovation and exterior building signs, just visit our website and
Working with construction firms means dissecting and reviewing large plan sets to isolate the sign specifications and drawings.
