Services

Our team has specialist skills, all of which are regularly asked for by our clients to help them deliver their projects on time and on budget. Whether it’s wayfinding, artworking, construction design, integration or another studio discipline, we have the knowledge and expertise to guide our clients’ projects through these specialist skills to ensure a compliant product that meets with all aesthetical requirements and compliance standards.

Wayfinding design

Our experienced team can visit your station or facility to undertake a comprehensive scope and survey, capturing all operational, spatial, and compliance requirements. This assessment forms the foundation of a clear, practical signing strategy and wayfinding scheme tailored to your environment.

We work within our clients’ established standards and guidelines, ensuring consistency and compliance, while also supporting the refinement or evolution of these where required.

All survey findings, design intent, and technical details are documented within a structured Signage Schedule, providing a clear reference for designers, contractors, and stakeholders. We then support the progression of the scheme through review and approval processes to ensure smooth delivery.

By combining technical expertise with practical understanding, we deliver wayfinding and statutory signage solutions that are intuitive, compliant, and built for long-term performance.

Construction Design

Our Construction Design team develops the detailed design for every product we supply, producing accurate CAD drawings to support fabrication and installation.

We ensure each design meets the required specifications while carefully considering buildability, durability, and safe installation. By working closely with our fabrication and installation teams, we create solutions that are practical, efficient, and safe to deliver on site.

Applying best-practice principles and drawing on our extensive sector experience, we design signage that performs reliably and remains durable for many years.

Integration design

Integration design ensures that our signage works seamlessly within the built environment. Beyond the sign itself, careful consideration is given to how each product interacts with the building and surrounding infrastructure.

We collaborate closely with clients and subcontractors to integrate our products within station environments, coordinating with teams responsible for wall linings, ceilings, groundworks, steelwork, electrical systems, and communications.

Through a proactive, coordinated approach, we ensure that our products are delivered and installed correctly first time, minimising disruption and supporting efficient project delivery.

Structural design

We work hand in hand with a number of structural engineers to ensure that the product we are designing meets all crowd and wind loadings. Our engineer often liaises with the appointed engineer on projects to agree standards, materials, construction method and to provide further assurance.  Our CAD team will then ensure that the engineers requirements are incorporated into the product drawings ahead of fabrication.
