NUTS + BOLTS
third-party installation - the entire package of signs.
Use your spreadsheet in production to help them
double-check the sign counts and organize the signs
into manageable chunks.
Take time to think through the installation logistics.
* Does the customer care when certain signs are
installed? Sometimes the client requires that the
customer-centric signs are installed first. Or they
may have a phased-construction project that
requires accommodating for your timing.
* Talk to the installer about the building's layout, and
plan the packaging based on the installation path
through the building.
Package the signs thoughtfully.
* Remember: Packaging is cheap compared to
replacement signs.
* Clearly mark the outside of each box of signs -
all sides - with contents and room numbers.
Overcommunicate in the packaging!
* Every box ought to have identical paperwork with
your contact information, who to call on-site, the
install site contact and any further instructions.
* Every box should include a list of its contents.

Example: "Box 2 of 4, contents rooms 201-240."
* All installation requirements should be in every box,
including install height, drawings of the placements
and photo requirements.
Confirm, confirm, confirm
* We think of our installers like raising teenagers:
You can't repeat details enough - seek responses
to confirm they understand your directions.
* Ask for the installer's name and number.
* Confirm when the boxes will arrive and when the
installers are expected on-site.
* If you need photos, remind your installers.
Change orders
* Be sure you establish who can make changes on
site. Just because a maintenance manager tells
them to install at 60 in., remind the installers that
you are their client and that any changes must
come to you for approval.
* If the site isn't ready, this is on you! Return trips,
extra trips and wait times are going to cost you.
Be sure your client is as ready as your installer.
Be thankful.
* Installation is thankless - show appreciation to the
teams that come through for you. We've shipped
snacks or candy in sign boxes as a way of showing
thanks. (Pro tip: Use something that doesn't melt.
Mini Tootsie Rolls are perfect!)
