Design & Build To Rollout

From highly-bespoke installations to multi-location rollouts – we win awards at both!

Sometimes programmes are standard…and sometimes they simply aren’t

Whether it’s the large-scale rollout across an estate of properties or the design of a bespoke wayfinding solution, our teams are award-winning at both.

Both ends of the spectrum require a great deal of industry expertise and knowledge of product specification. Both types of project require expert client collaboration, experience with logistics of project management and an ability to ‘think outside the box’, but both demand precision and focus on a quality solution.

Our in-house teams, from design and technical teams to installation engineers, can flex to either requirement, demonstrating an unrivalled ability to translate a brand into either standard signage or something out of the ordinary.

When the requirement varies but excellence stays the same

Design & Build projects may include:

  • extensive material prototyping to achieve the exact aesthetic to create an experiential environment
  • specialist consultancy on site preparation to successfully apply the brand into
  • specialist installation expertise with careful attention to detail

Rollout projects may include:

  • concept development to ensure all types of application are considered across multiple variants of architecture
  • careful resource planning to answer demand and volume
  • multi-location surveys and site packs to prepare installation teams in advance

Award-winning projects for Design & Build and Rollout include:

Our Process

Surveys

Surveys are crucial at the outset of either type of project, providing key dimensions and site details that guide design—especially for rollouts requiring signage flexibility across varied buildings and locations.

Design development

Design development is always a collaborative process—our designers work closely with clients from the start to understand their needs and shape concepts that authentically represent their brand.

Initial sign concepts

Guided by survey data and client input, our designers develop initial sign concepts—presented as visual proposals for feedback, tailored to the project’s scale and complexity.

Finalising specifications

Whether for a one-off build or large-scale rollout, our concept development phase is key to finalising specifications – assessing colours, materials, and illumination early to ensure clarity and consistency. Our Technical Team collaborates with our designers to create accurate prototypes and drawings, ensuring samples are fully production-ready.

Manufacture-ready drawings

Once designs are approved, our technical engineers produce manufacture-ready drawings—incorporating structural calculations where needed to ensure safe, compliant, and high-quality installations.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing takes place at both our facilities, overseen by the client’s allocated Astley project manager who coordinates with design, technical teams, and department heads to ensure quality and alignment with approved samples throughout every stage.

Installation

Installation is carefully planned and delivered to an agreed schedule, with clear stakeholder coordination, permit management, and team oversight—whether for complex rollouts or creative design & build projects requiring exceptional attention to detail.
