The Brief

We were contacted by St Louis Catholic Primary School in Aylesbury, following their recent extension.

We were asked to create and install brand new signs for this new area, ensuring all branding was consistent throughout.

Signs requirements included fascia (individual letters and logo), post mounted, car park, wayfinding, interior plaques, window graphics - everything!

The work had to be carried out during the school summer holiday, giving us roughly six weeks.

What we did to help

As always, we started the process by meeting the client on site to go through the project. We discussed their requirements, our ideas, materials and other possibilities.

We carried out the necessary site surveys such as structure, installations and risk assessments. We also took precise measurements and numerous photographs to help us in the quotation and design process.

As there were so many elements to this project, we regularly visited the site and held numerous meetings with the client to ensure we were continually on brief.

We used a variety of products for this project.

For the external signs we used individual letters and the school logo, cut from aluminium complete with a 10-year anti-vandal resin. We fitted these with rear locators so that the fixings cannot be seen.

It came to our attention that the client had received a quote by a competitor for signs in an alternative material. With our expertise and knowledge, we knew that this would not have looked as clean and professional as the material we used.

We are essentially here to give clients expert advice on what would work best for their project. It was a very satisfying job with superb results and a very happy customer.

They were extremely content knowing that they had chosen the right product and it will look as good as new in ten years.
