Construction sites are notorious for being boring and annoying barriers to normal urban life. The noise of construction equipment, coupled with the pollution, and oh-so-boring but mandatory safety signs, make construction sites the most hated by the average urban commuter.
However, it is an inevitable part of every developing city. Disrupting as they are, they also pave the way for comfort and convenience in the future. Hence, avoiding them may not be possible, but there are ways to make the disruption more bearable, and in fact, interesting.
This is where building site safety signs play a significant role.
Here we explore a few strategies and best practices when using construction safety signs to enhance aesthetic appeal while following safety regulations to the dot.
Visibility is one of the most critical requirements of building signs. A sign with poor visibility is undoubtedly a grave hazard that can potentially lead to serious accidents.
To enhance visibility, construction companies typically invest in reflective and durable materials so that they can withstand all weather conditions. However, to add some aesthetic value and ease the stress of disruption consider incorporating neon signs.
With their pleasant appearance, nostalgic appeal, and extra-clear visibility even in adverse weather conditions, building neon signs can be an excellent supplement to conventional safety signs. Although unusual, they can make construction inconveniences more bearable, allowing companies to achieve better cooperation from commuters.
Creative signage was conventionally used by product and service companies to promote their offerings. Today, it is increasingly being incorporated into construction sites to turn ordinary builders signs into attractive and attention-grabbing boards that can transform the boring “coming soon” canvas into a work of art.
Creative signs can take any shape and form, and include anything from interesting graphics or pictures, to clever copy, all while conveying the very important message of safety. At the same time, they can showcase the corporate responsibility and artistic sense embraced by the builder brand.
Combined with strategic placement in busy interjections as well as at the site of construction, creative signage can be a powerful means to induce cooperation from commuters.

Bollard covers are one of the useful innovations in signage in recent times. They are designed to be functional and aesthetic, which makes them a preferred promotional tool for many brands.
Construction brands can make use of bollards in and around their site to inform commuters of the work in progress up ahead and advise safety. By incorporating strategic branding elements into solid safety messages, bollard covers can also become exceptional advertisements for building brands, helping them garner better cooperation from commuters. In addition to providing safety information related to the construction site ahead, creatively designed bollard covers can enhance the aesthetic value of the location by showcasing interesting graphics or other kinds of artwork.
There are a variety of innovative bollard cover designs available today including square, and triangular. Partner with a premium printing company to take advantage of multiple material and design options.

Companies often make the mistake of creating high-quality safety signs but using poor placement techniques. It is not enough to use legible and strategic graphics or neon lights to improve readability; the signs must also be placed in the right places to ensure that commuters read and understand the message well.
Exercise thoughtfulness when placing safety signs and building company signs; install large signs and neon signs at high viewpoints where commuters can read from a distance, smaller signs at interjections and turning points, and other creative signage like bollard covers sensibly according to the traffic.
A well-placed builders sign board coupled with effective typefaces or graphics is bound to work wonders in informing, educating, as well as promoting.
Last but not least, ensure the utmost durability when printing safety signs for construction sites. Projects in construction typically last months or sometimes years; this means the signs will need to be placed outside through several seasons. The materials you use for your signage need to be weatherproof, waterproof, and sturdy so that they are intact even in adverse weather conditions.
Hence, use materials like aluminium, high-density polyethylene, or Correx to create your signs and fade-proof ink to print your message.
At PBC, we use high-quality Correx to develop square, triangular, and slip-over bollard covers and print graphics using fade-proof ink to ensure high-level durability in all weather conditions.
Modern-day construction sign boards carry the potential to turn boring and annoying construction sites into works of art that can interest and engage commuters while adding to the aesthetic value of the urban landscape. From using neon signs to developing creative signage like bollard covers, paying attention to a few important elements when designing construction safety signs, and embracing out-of-the-box ideas to inform and educate, can go a long way in getting commuters to cooperate happily. Be sure to partner with a premium printing company to make the most of your investment in safety signage.
