Drawing Stage Three - Initial Price Estimate

Stage three drawings are intended for pricing.
Last edited 1022 days ago by Adam Doll.

What is a stage three drawing?

Stage three drawings provide enough details for estimating to provide pricing for the sign. The drawing now has specific details - full dimensions and specifications, that must be provided. Specifications should be as clear as possible for accurate pricing. Typically, stage three is the furthest we will take a drawing without survey information, as the survey details may require a revision to the sizing and even sign type itself.
For stage three drawings and above, use the specification text blocks and drawing standards that have been set up in our Creative Cloud library.

General sign specifications shown on the left, Selkirk corporate clients on the right. Each tab can be opened to show full specifications and drawings available.

Below is an example of a stage three drawing, with a complete list of specifications. Dimensions and materials have been detailed so estimating can work out accurate initial pricing.
We use the specifications from the library, completing each line with the details specific to the drawing in progress. Each individual sign type should be listed and fully specified below the grey horizontal bar.
There will be times when we need to modify or add to what is included in the library. This is to be expected, however, we must follow the same format for consistency. Maintaining consistency is very important so other designers and departments know where to look for details.
