Description

A 3-page printable commercial sign site survey checklist designed to help sign surveyors capture key site information, track multiple sign locations, and catch missing information before leaving the property.

Commercial sign surveys can involve multiple sign locations, photos, measurements, mounting conditions, electrical information, removal conditions, access issues, windows, freestanding signs, and interior signs.

It is easy to miss something.

The Commercial Sign Site Survey Field Checklist gives sign professionals a compact, repeatable field tool for staying organized while onsite.

Created by The Signitects LLC, this Quick Tool is built specifically for commercial sign industry field work.

TRACK MULTIPLE SIGN LOCATIONS

Page 1 also includes a reusable Sign ID grid that lets you track:

UP TO 6 SIGN LOCATIONS PER SHEET

with:

14 FIELD CHECKS FOR EACH SIGN LOCATION

The field checks help organize information such as:

• Sign ID
• Wide photo
• Medium photo
• Detail photo
• Existing sign dimensions
• Available sign area
• Mounting height
• Reference dimensions
• Wall material
• Mounting condition
• Electrical condition
• Installation access
• Removal condition
• Measurement photo

This helps keep individual sign locations organized instead of mixing information from multiple signs together.

PAGE 2: SPECIALIZED SURVEY AREAS

Commercial sign projects do not all involve the same conditions.

Page 2 includes quick-reference survey prompts for:

FREESTANDING SIGNS
Including dimensions, landscaping, electrical, traffic approach photos, and equipment access.

WINDOWS
Including panel numbering, glass dimensions, mullions, hardware, tint, and existing vinyl.

INTERIOR
Including room ID, existing copy, sign location, wall condition, mounting height, door orientation, obstructions, and photo ID.

BEFORE YOU LEAVE

Page 2 also includes a dedicated:

BEFORE YOU LEAVE

checklist.

Use it before leaving the property to review whether you captured:

• Photos
• Measurements
• Sign IDs
• Unknown conditions
• Electrical information
• Installation access
• Removal conditions
• Site plan markers
• Required sign locations

The goal is simple:

Do not leave the site until the survey can be understood by someone who was never there.

PAGE 3: FINAL SITE REVIEW

The final page gives you one more quality-control step before wrapping up the survey.

The Final Site Review helps you ask questions such as:

Do I understand where every sign goes?

Do I have the necessary photos?

Did I document important measurements?

Did I capture wall construction?

Did I document electrical conditions?

Did I document installation access?

Did I identify anything that still requires verification?

Would someone who never visited the property understand the survey?

If something is missing, the page includes a:

MISSING INFORMATION / FOLLOW-UP

table to document:

• Sign ID
• Missing Information
• Follow-Up
• Status

WHY USE A FIELD CHECKLIST?

A sign survey may affect work performed later by:

• Estimating
• Project management
• Permitting
• Production
• Installation

Missing field information can create additional questions, site revisits, delays, or assumptions later in the project.

This Quick Tool is designed to make the field capture process easier to organize before leaving the site.
