A site board tells the public what is being built, who the client and contractors are and how to get in touch. On public and private projects it is often a contract requirement, and it is also valuable advertising for builders, architects, engineers and developers. Site boards are used on construction projects, road works, school and clinic builds, residential developments and renovations.
Site boards are made to the size and layout your project requires, so they are quoted. Request a quote with your quantity and artwork using the form on this page, or upload your list if you have several projects or a full set of site signage to order. Your quote is emailed with Accept online and pay buttons, and accepting it creates the invoice so we can send your proof.
What a site board usually shows
Your contract or client may specify exactly what must appear. Common elements include:
- Project name and a description or render of the development
- Client, main contractor and professional team logos
- Project number or reference
- Contact details for queries
- Safety and access information
Materials for site conditions
Building sites are tough environments, so site boards are usually printed on rigid outdoor materials such as Chromadek, mounted on a frame or posts. Smaller notices can be made in ABS or correx, and fencing can be branded with mesh banners. Tell us how long the board needs to stand and where it will be placed, and we will recommend suitable materials.
Working to a specification
Government departments, municipalities and large clients often provide a site board template with fixed sizes, colours and logo positions. Send the specification with your quote request and we will lay out the board to match. Logos from each party should be supplied as vector files (PDF, AI, EPS or SVG). You will approve a digital proof before production, so check every name and reference carefully.

Common questions
Can you follow our client's site board template?
Yes. Send the template or specification with your quote request, along with all the logos and project details. We will lay out the board to match and send a digital proof for you and your client to approve.
What material are site boards made from?
Large site boards are usually rigid outdoor boards such as Chromadek on a frame or posts, because they need to last for the life of the project. Smaller and temporary notices can be made from ABS or correx.
Do you install site boards?
Tell us on your quote request if you need installation and where the site is. We will confirm on your quote what we can offer. Many contractors erect boards with their own site teams.
Can we order boards for several projects at once?
Yes. Upload a list of projects with board sizes and details as an Excel, Word or PDF file, or a photo, and we will quote them together. Contractors can reorder from the business portal for new projects.
How do I accept and pay for my quote?
Your quote is emailed with an Accept online button and pay buttons for card or instant EFT through PayFast or Yoco. Accepting the quote creates your invoice. Business customers can also view quotes, invoices and statements, and reorder, in their portal.
