How a signage site survey works in SignPad

Six things the app does on site, so the office never has to ask what the surveyor saw.

Survey capture

Photograph every sign location once.

Walk the site level by level and add each sign location as you reach it. Every photo, note and measurement stays with its location, so the office opens the job and finds the fascia, not a camera roll.

Organised by levelGround, mezzanine, roof. Each location knows where it lives.
Works offlineBasements and new builds have no signal. The survey carries on.

Annotation

Draw the dimensions on the photo.

Mark the width, the height and the fixing line straight onto the photo while you are standing in front of the sign. The estimator sees the number next to the thing it measures.

Tied to the sign locationThe annotated photo belongs to one location on one level.
Nothing lost in the camera rollRaw and annotated photos both land on the report.

Substrates and fixings

Record the substrate before fabrication starts.

Pick the substrate and its condition from the list, then settle the fixing while you can still see the wall. Fabrication starts from a fact, not a guess made at the quote.

Common signage fixings

Condition recordedSound, cracked, painted, cladding over block. Written down once.
Fixings settled at the quoteThe fixing is chosen on site and priced before the job is won.

Access, power and consents

Send the install crew in prepared.

Record the working height, the access gear, where the power comes from and who has to say yes. The install day starts with the right ladder and the right paperwork.

What access details to record

Access and working heightLadder, scissor lift or boom. Height and parking noted.
Power, voltage, new circuitExisting supply or a new run. The electrician knows before the day.
Landlord, body corp, councilWho has to approve the sign, recorded against the location.

Checklists and voice notes

Nothing left to memory.

Checklists by survey type prompt for access, power, clearances and hazards, with progress by category. Talk through anything else and SignPad transcribes it and writes a labelled summary into the report.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What devices does SignPad run on?

SignPad runs on iPhone and iPad. Shared reports open in any modern browser, so the office and your clients can read them on a phone, a tablet or a desktop.

Does it work without signal?

Yes. The app is offline-first, so basements and new builds are fine. When signal returns the survey syncs in the background and the report link is ready to share.

Can we use our own templates?

Yes. SignPad includes templates for common sign types, and you can save your own and reuse them across jobs so every surveyor records the same things.

Who is SignPad for?

Anyone who visits a site before a sign is quoted or installed: estimators, project managers, sales reps, shop owners, installers and site surveyors.

What does SignPad cost?

Your first 3 surveys are free, with no card and no time limit. After that, Pro is $22.99 USD a month for one surveyor through the App Store, and Team is $59 USD a month with 3 seats included and $15 for each extra seat, billed by card. Every plan includes every feature.

Which regions does SignPad support?

SignPad is built for sign companies in the UK, USA, Australia and New Zealand.

Who owns the data, and can we delete it?

You do. Export any report as a PDF and every photo as a ZIP whenever you like. You can delete surveys, and your account, at any time.

Does it replace our CRM?

No. SignPad feeds it. The report link and PDF go wherever you quote and track jobs, so your CRM gets the facts from site without anyone retyping them.
