FM Post# 122: FACILITIES MANAGEMENT (FM) – BACK TO BASICS – SIGNAGE (07 of 18) – SIGNAGE CONTRACTORS High caliber signage contractors are always close working partners of any FM function, as they play an important role in translating facility requirements into tangible solutions. They handle the entire lifecycle, from design and material selection, to fabrication and installation. Their expertise in legal compliance, industry standards, visibility studies, material sciences, plus their deep understanding of signage types (reflective, digital, etc.) is always invaluable. SELECTION CRITERIA: Choosing the right signage contractor is critical. Here are some tips: ► EXPERIENCE: Look for contractors with a proven track record in similar facilities, and who understand the specific needs of your industry ► CAPABILITIES: Ensure they possess the in-house expertise and technology to handle your desired signage types and materials. Here are some additional pointers to assess contractor capabilities:     ◊ In-House Manufacturing: Do they have in-house fabrication facilities, or do they rely heavily on outsourcing? Greater in-house capabilities often translate to greater quality control and lead-time flexibility     ◊ Material Expertise: Evaluate their knowledge of various signage materials (metals, plastics, laminates) in terms of durability, suitability for different environments, and long-term maintenance requirements     ◊ Warranty & After-Sales Services: A comprehensive warranty program and established after-sales service offerings demonstrate the contractor's confidence in their product quality, and a commitment to long-term customer satisfaction ► COMPLIANCE: Verify their adherence to relevant safety regulations (e.g., NFPA 704, Local Legislation) and accessibility standards (ADA, Federal Laws) ► PROJECT MANAGEMENT: Evaluate their PM methodology, ensuring clear communication and milestone tracking EFFECTIVE CONTRACT MANAGEMENT: A solid contract management ensures a successful contractor partnership. Moreover, clearly defined deliverables, including materials, specifications, and warranties, are paramount. Regular communication between contractor teams and FM teams ensures alignment with project goals, and facilitates timely identification of any potential issues. By prioritizing high-quality signage and selecting the right contractor, FMs can ensure a safe, efficient, and well-branded work environment for occupants, ultimately contributing to the organization's overall success.     Watch this space for more LinkedIn articles in this series… Like and Repost this article if you think your colleagues and peers will be interested in reading this post.
