How Sunrise Signs helped eliminate a two-week delay using SignFlow 360™ and the Developer’s Sign-Off™ Design Program
Delays in receiving your Certificate of Occupancy (CO) can stall tenant move-ins, increase holding costs, and frustrate your investors. On a recent multifamily housing project, Sunrise Signs helped a developer eliminate a 14-day delay by managing over 800 signs using our signature tools: SignFlow 360™ and the Developer’s Sign-Off™ Design Program.
🚧 The Challenge
Signage was an afterthought. The GC handed off signage to a low-bid vendor. There were no sign plans in the drawings, no compliance reviews, and no centralized way to track approvals. When inspectors showed up, the project wasn’t ready.
The result? A two-week delay in receiving the CO.
✅ Our Seamless Solution
Sunrise Signs implemented a two-phase process that made signage one of the smoothest parts of the entire project:
Phase 1: Developer’s Sign-Off™ Design Program
- Imported blueprints into SignFlow 360™
- Mapped every sign to ADA and fire code
- Created full visual proofs with materials, sizes, and finishes
- Reviewed plans with local inspectors pre-fabrication
- Captured all approvals digitally through our online portal
Phase 2: SignFlow 360™ Production & Execution
- Tracked 800+ signs through a centralized dashboard
- Provided install maps and scheduling tools for field crews
- Delivered final compliance packets for smooth inspection approvals
