Wayfinding Signage Planned Around How People Move
Good wayfinding starts with understanding how people move through a space.
Before any sign is made, you need to understand how people move through the space and where they might get confused.
That planning tells you what signs you need, what they should say and where they should go.
Done properly, people move through the building without having to stop, think or ask for directions.
That’s the job of good wayfinding signage, it makes getting from A to B feel simple.

Large wayfinding signage projects take planning
Some buildings need a handful of signs. Others need thousands.
One of our largest projects had more than 2,800 signs, with over 1,500 unique signs. Because every one of those signs had to be in the right place, the planning became as important as the manufacturing.
Every room number, directory, braille sign and directional sign needs to be where people expect to find it. Because missing one sign can create a bigger problem once the building is in use.
That's why every project starts with a complete sign schedule. Every sign is planned and checked before manufacturing begins. It makes installation easier and avoids costly mistakes later.
Getting compliance right takes experience
Wayfinding signage needs to comply with DDA requirements and current standards.
Our company principal heads the technical team for the Australian Sign & Graphics Association.
Keeping up to date with the rules is part of the job. When the flammable cladding regulations changed, he travelled around Australia helping sign companies understand what the new requirements meant for their projects.
That means you get the right advice from the start, so you know the job's taken care of.
