Site Survey Tips & Advice
I’m finding myself goung multiple times to double check sizes after joiners etc have been to do remedial work.
I usually take my trusty tape measure, laser measure, phone, pen & paper,quite often our sizes dong match what the trades people who have done work say.
On one particular job 2x signs over 10m wide, I can’t afford for an error.
How many site visits do you make before producing a sign?
How do you go about taking measurements, especially by yourself?I’m currently paranoid this signs going to be 400mm to wide!

Good topic David.
Here are a few things Ive learned:Measure twice cut once.
Never trust a customer’s measurements
Never trust a contractor’s measurements
When in doubt go again.
Dont be afraid to look stupid by turning up a second time.
Think how you’ll look when it all goes wrong!
Take many photographs.😉

yup take photos & sometime we video via ipad/iphone also for reference.
As Simon said – never trust customers measurements, we had issue once with an 8ft sign (measurement supplied by client)… should of been 6ft….. (He couldn’t read his own handwriting..)

400mm small sign then 🙄

Hi George,
Sign is just over 17m wide x 610, the second is 10m x 610.
We called up today to double check all the sizes… so it better be right now.
