Link the sign proof to fabrication and installation

A sign order connects a visual proof to physical materials and a mounting location. Dimensions, illumination, installation access and responsibility for approvals should be understood before fabrication. Download this sample PDF or DOCX to organize the order for attorney review.

Inside the downloadable sample

  • Sign schedule and fabrication description
  • Artwork proof and customer approval
  • Location permission and approval responsibilities
  • Mounting surface, power and site access
  • Production charges and change requests
  • Handover, care and final acceptance

The PDF and editable DOCX contain the sample clauses and blank agreement fields. Microtra does not generate contracts.

How to use the template.

  1. Create a sign schedule and confirm whether design, fabrication and installation are all included.
  2. Prepare the artwork proof and site information as attachments rather than relying on a verbal description.
  3. Have a qualified attorney in your state review permissions, custom-production and payment terms.
  4. Retain the reviewed agreement with the approved proof and any later fabrication changes.

Useful answers.

Does approving artwork authorize installation?

Treat them as separate questions. Artwork approval confirms the design decision; permission for the location and any authority review should be identified and checked through the appropriate process.

How should illuminated signs describe electrical work?

State who provides power and which electrical tasks are included or assigned to a qualified outside provider. Do not leave that responsibility hidden in a general installation line.

What if the mounting surface differs from the survey?

Document the finding and discuss a revised approach before proceeding. The agreement should contain an attorney-reviewed process for changes to materials, access or installation work.
