COMPARE SUPPLIERS & QUOTES

Look for a clear, application-specific scope

A useful quotation should identify what is included, the artwork and approval process, the proposed product or material system, preparation, access, installation or supply responsibilities, exclusions, timing assumptions and relevant care guidance.

BEFORE REQUESTING A QUOTE

Useful questions to answer

What information can I send first?

Start with the location, intended use, photographs, rough dimensions, quantity, target timing and available artwork. The supplier can identify what needs confirmation.

Why can similar-looking signs have different prices?

Size, quantity, material system, coverage, artwork preparation, access, removal, surface condition, illumination, approvals and installation requirements can all change the scope.

Should design and signage be quoted together?

They can be coordinated, but responsibilities should remain clear. SignSpot handles signage; Vivid Icon design support can be identified separately where new branding or artwork development is required.
