Sign Design & Engineering
From first concept to permit-ready drawings, we handle the projects that need real planning.
Larger sign projects succeed or stall on planning. A pylon sign, a masonry monument, or a multi-tenant development sign has to fit the site, satisfy zoning, pass permitting, and stand up to engineering review before anything gets built. Stonetree Signs manages that whole front end of the project.
Design happens in-house. We produce scaled concept renderings with true dimensions, photo composites that show the sign on your actual building or site, and shop drawings that fabrication and installation are built from. You see exactly what you're getting — at scale, in context — before anything is produced.
When a project requires stamped engineering — wind load calculations, foundation design, structural certification — we coordinate with licensed engineers to produce permit-ready drawing packages. It's how we take municipal projects, schools, churches, and large commercial signs from an idea to an approved permit without the runaround.

Common Questions
Is the design work done in-house?
Yes. Concept renderings, photo composites, and shop drawings are all produced by our in-house design team. Structural engineering varies by project — when stamped drawings are required, we coordinate with licensed engineers and manage that process for you.
When does a sign project need engineered drawings?
Most commonly on larger freestanding signs — pylons, tall pole signs, and masonry monuments — where jurisdictions require stamped drawings with wind load calculations and foundation design before issuing a permit. Requirements vary by municipality and sign size. We identify what your project needs during the consultation, so there are no surprises at permitting.
Can you handle large or multi-phase projects?
Yes — that's exactly what this service exists for. Municipal facilities, school campuses, multi-tenant developments, and corporate projects with multiple signs and phases all benefit from having one company manage design, engineering coordination, permitting, fabrication, and installation together.
What does the design process cost?
The consultation, estimate, and initial concepts are free. A 50% deposit kicks off full design work — scaled renderings, shop drawings, and engineering coordination — and you approve the final design before anything is fabricated.
