Description

A professional 2-page printable field survey form designed to help commercial sign companies document monument and pylon sign dimensions, visible electrical conditions, landscaping, traffic visibility documentation, equipment access, and field notes.

Every commercial sign location is different, especially freestanding signage.

Monument and pylon signs may have different cabinet dimensions, base measurements, overall heights, electrical conditions, and surrounding site conditions.

Keeping that information organized helps the next person understand what was observed in the field.

The Commercial Monument & Pylon Sign Survey Form is a practical, reusable field worksheet created specifically for the commercial signage industry by The Signitects LLC.

Print one copy for each freestanding sign location and keep the completed pages with your project documentation.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Your instant digital download includes:

• 1 professional PDF file
• 2 pages
• US Letter, 8.5 × 11 inches
• Printable
• Suitable for viewing or annotating using compatible tablet software
• Designed for commercial sign field documentation

PAGE 1: SIGN IDENTIFICATION & MEASUREMENTS

The first page provides dedicated fields for:

PROJECT INFORMATION

• Project
• Location / Address
• Survey Date
• Surveyor

SIGN IDENTIFICATION

• Sign ID
• Sign Type: Monument or Pylon

7 DIMENSION FIELDS

• Overall Width
• Overall Height
• Cabinet Width

• Base Height
• Depth

Each measurement field provides space to document the observed dimensions for the individual sign.

VISIBLE ELECTRICAL CONDITIONS

Electrical Visible? Yes / No / Unknown

This question is intended to document whether electrical conditions or components are visible. It does not establish whether power is present, operational, or code-compliant.

PAGE 2: SITE CONDITIONS & FIELD NOTES

The second page continues the same sign-location survey.

Includes:

REPEATED SIGN ID

Helps keep both pages associated with the same freestanding sign location.

LANDSCAPING

Landscape Obstruction? Yes / No

TRAFFIC VISIBILITY

Traffic Visibility Documented? Yes / No

EQUIPMENT ACCESS

Equipment Access Documented? Yes / No

These questions support documentation of observed site conditions. They do not certify equipment access, traffic visibility compliance, or installation feasibility.

FIELD NOTES

Nine ruled writing lines provide space for additional observations.

OPTIONAL SKETCH SPACE

A blank area for a simple field sketch or additional notes.

No preprinted engineering or construction diagram is included.

ONE FREESTANDING SIGN. ONE ORGANIZED SURVEY FORM.

Commercial sign projects may include multiple monument or pylon signs.

Instead of mixing dimensions and site observations together, use a separate form for each sign location.

Record the sign ID, dimensions, visible conditions, and relevant notes together.

The completed worksheet can become part of the project's overall survey documentation.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

This Quick Tool is designed for:

• Commercial sign surveyors
• Sign company project managers
• Sign installers conducting field surveys
• Sign sales professionals
• Sign shop operations teams
• New commercial sign industry employees
• Sign professionals documenting existing freestanding signs

WHY USE A DEDICATED SURVEY FORM?

Monument and pylon sign surveys involve different information than a typical wall sign location.

A dedicated form provides a consistent place to document:

• Overall sign dimensions
• Cabinet dimensions
• Base dimensions
• Sign depth
• Visible electrical conditions
• Landscape obstructions
• Traffic visibility documentation
• Equipment access documentation
• Field observations

Having these details organized by Sign ID can make the survey easier to review and reference later.

HOW TO USE

1. Download the PDF after purchase.
2. Print the two pages or open them using compatible PDF annotation software.
3. Assign the freestanding sign location a Sign ID.
4. Record the applicable dimensions and observed conditions.
5. Use the Notes and optional sketch space for additional observations.
6. Keep both pages together with the project's survey information.
7. Print a new copy for each additional monument or pylon sign.
