SignWorks is pleased to announce that the Alameda Point Developer Storehouse 8 Phase 2 ADA signs were delivered and are ready for
the contractor to install. This time they are planning the install the ADA signs themselves which consisted of approximately 200 ADA signs (tenant, room and stair ID signs) in varied sizes that matched the exiting grey and white color scheme we helped them to select for phase 1. Because we had already worked on the design phase for the smaller phase I signs, the art and approval process were straight forward and very much simplified. In fact, even the production phase was shorter.
The new Building 8 Storehouse development is now complete and consists of a mixed-use commercial space that houses retail, live-work lofts, a roof top garden, café and much more. The original large 10 ft. wide by 35 ft. tall pictorial banner now hangs at the very front of the building and serves to advertise the development to potential clients and residents. Its complemented by the exterior blade sign we completed previously.
SignWorks proudly continues to work with many local contractors both large and small to produce everything from project identification signs, interior ADA compliant tenant signs and evacuation maps, fire safety, stair IDs and so much 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 smaller local construction firms such like Alameda Point Developers, Atkinson Construction, A-One Construction, Chambers Construction and Silman Industries.
Working with construction firms is not for the faint of heart because it sometimes involves dissecting and reviewing large plan sets to isolate the sign specifications and drawings. This can be problematic because the signage is often one of the last items addressed by the architect, meaning the signage information is lacking or incomplete with the specifications and quantities undefined. And, on some occasions the contractors are so immersed in the renovation project that they get targeted for compliance issues by the Fire Department because of lacking or outdated fire safety and evacuation map information. Most sign companies are not well equipped or versed in understanding these guidelines, so many of our clients are delighted when they find us! Many continue as loyal repeat customers.
