A programme problem before it is a design problem
The hoarding has to be up before the crane arrives, the statutory boards have to be right before the first inspection, and the marketing suite has to look finished before the first viewing. Nobody has time for a supplier who quotes in four days and produces in three weeks.
What contractors and developers tend to need from one supplier: a hoarding scheme that survives twelve months outdoors, safety signage that satisfies CDM and the principal contractor, wayfinding for site traffic and deliveries, and a sales environment that looks like the finished scheme rather than the building site around it.
Practical constraints we plan around
Hoarding graphics printed on paper faced board fail within a season. We specify direct to substrate or laminated vinyl on exterior ply for anything expected to last a full programme. Where hoarding fronts a public highway, the local authority licence usually carries conditions on projection, lighting and maintenance.

How we work with contractors
Setting out
Surveyed and measured to the setting out drawing, not to a sketch or a pace count.
Programme
Priced against your dates, with phased delivery where the hoarding line moves during the build.
Installation
Our own installers, out of hours where the site or the highway licence requires it.
Substrate
Exterior grade ply, Foamex or aluminium composite depending on how long the run has to survive.
Invoicing
Consolidated across multiple plots or sites rather than one invoice per board.
Common questions
How long will site hoarding graphics last?
Printed vinyl laminated onto exterior grade ply, or direct to substrate print, will last a full build programme. Paper faced board fails within a season, which is the most common false economy on a development.
Can you work to our programme?
Yes. We price against your dates rather than quoting a standard lead time, deliver in phases where the hoarding line moves, and install out of hours where the site or the highway licence requires it.
Do you supply CDM and statutory site signage?
Yes, as a coordinated set: entrance board, PPE requirements, hazard warnings, site rules and traffic routing, sized for the positions they actually go in.
Working to a programme?
Send the drawing or the schedule. We will price against the dates rather than quoting a lead time and hoping.
