Sam Houston State University Signage, Huntsville TX

How Saifee Signs helped a general contractor complete SHSU exterior building and interior signage on-time and on-budget

Background

In 2011, Saifee Signs was contacted by Pepper Lawson Construction (now Ferrovial - Webber) to bid on a large acrylic logo and a lifesize silhouette of Sam Houston for the interior lobby of SHSU's new Residence Office. The project manager was looking for a sign company that could produce the entire logo and Sam Houston's silhouette from one pieceof acrylic, without any seams.

At the same time, the project manager was not happy with the sign vendors he had previously worked with on other projects. He was looking for a dependable sign company that could deliver the project on time and wouldn't hold him hostage once the project was awarded.

Solution

We understood the project manager's concern and worked with Pepper Lawson Construction and Kirksey to meet the project's timeline. Many details were missing in the initial drawings, like the exact sign types, installation heights, materials, thicknesses, finishes, quantities, etc., that we identified and resolved with the GC and the Architect to ensure the project was not on hold due to missing information.

Finally, after some weekend work and late shifts, the project was completed on time. The result was a beautiful sign project, as seen in the pictures. Please click here to learn more about our work with other educational brands.
