What we do
Exterior Sign Types We Build
Channel Letter Signs
Individual 3D letters fabricated in aluminium with LED illumination, face-lit, halo-lit or combination. The dominant choice for Brisbane retail, hospitality and professional services premises. Visible day and night.
Monument Signs
Freestanding ground-level signs that create a permanent, prestigious presence. Ideal for business parks, office complexes, hotels, and medical facilities. Built from stone, brick, or metal.
Pylon Signs
Ground mounted signs for businesses set back from the street, commercial parks, industrial estates, medical centres. Available in single-pole, twin-pole and monument configurations.
Cabinet Signs (Lightboxes)
Aluminium frame with translucent face panel, internally lit. Available in single or double-sided configurations. Classic choice for service stations, fast food, pharmacies and convenience retail.
Blade & Projecting Signs
Signs that project perpendicular from the building face visible to pedestrians walking along the footpath rather than approaching from the front. Popular in Brisbane's high-pedestrian strips.
Flat-Cut & Dimensional Letters
Non-illuminated letters in aluminium, stainless steel, acrylic or PVC. Cost effective for premises where night visibility is less critical. Clean, contemporary finish.
Steps
Our Process
We handle every aspect of your exterior signage project from concept to installation.
1
Site Measure & Permit Assessment
We visit your Brisbane premises to measure, photograph and assess the building substrate. We advise on Brisbane City Council permit requirements for your sign type, size and zone.
2
Design & Engineering
Full design produced to scale. For engineered signs (pylon, projecting blade), we coordinate structural certification where required.
3
Fabrication
All fabrication in-house. We cut, bend, weld, paint, route and wire everything ourselves, no outsourcing, no quality surprises.
4
Professional Installation
Our installation team works from EWPs (elevated work platforms) where required and coordinates with building owners and tenants. We handle the full installation including electrical connection for illuminated signs (with licensed electrician for final connection).
Why Signsmith
Exterior Signage & Brisbane Council Compliance
Brisbane City Council requires permits for a range of exterior sign types: illuminated signs, signs above certain sizes, pylon signs and signs in heritage areas. Non-compliant signage can result in council orders to remove at the business owner's cost.
Signsmith handles the permit process as part of the project. We know which sign types require approval, what the size and illumination limits are for different zones, and how to document a submission. This is one of the key advantages of working with an experienced local sign company rather than an interstate supplier.
