Exterior Project Timeline

Thank you for completing the questionnaire. Here is your Exterior Project Timeline

The exterior project timeline for Metro Sign & Awning spans several weeks, beginning with an initial site meeting and budget proposal. After client approval, the design phase includes submittals and revisions.

It is important to note that permit processes, including technical surveys and design reviews, vary in duration due to regulatory approvals and local zoning laws. Clients should start early to accommodate potential delays. The timeline also varies based on project size and complexity. Once permits are approved, the fabrication and installation of signage commence, concluding with a final review to ensure all steps meet regulatory and client specifications. The address is crucial during permitting to ensure compliance with local codes.
