Design, build, install,
pass inspection.
We handle building signage from the first drawing to the final inspection sign-off — so you're not chasing three vendors. Sixteen years of fabrication, five years of signage, and our own shop in North Vancouver. General contractors, architects and building owners across BC.

Art & design. Fabrication. Installation.
Three things, one shop — from the first sketch to the final inspection sign-off.
Art and design
We turn a rough idea, a logo, or an architect’s spec into artwork and shop drawings that can actually be built — sized to the site, and ready for permit.
Fabrication
Cut, routed, welded, printed and engraved in our own North Vancouver shop — metal, acrylic, wood and composite. Nothing important is subcontracted.
Installation
Insured installation across BC, coordinated with your schedule and the other trades — and we stay with it until it passes inspection.
We build what you draw.
Send us your concept or drawing set and we handle the rest — engineering, materials, shop drawings you can submit, fabrication and install. Your design, built properly.
Canadian-Made Signage & Metal Fabrication.
Custom signage and aluminum fabrication manufactured in British Columbia. Canadian-sourced aluminum available upon request — an alternative to tariff-affected U.S. manufactured products.
New services — coming soon.
We're expanding the shop. These in-house capabilities are launching shortly.
Laser Services
In-house laser cutting and engraving on acrylic, wood, leather and more — precise, fast, repeatable.
Welding Services
Metal fabrication and welding for sign structures, frames, monuments and custom steelwork.
Turning & Milling
CNC turning and milling for precision parts, mounts and custom machined components.
We know what a GC actually needs.
You don’t need a sign vendor who disappears between the drawing and the site visit. You need one number, one crew, and a package that clears inspection.
- Shop drawings you can submit — not a sketch on a napkin.
- Lead times we hit, because we’re the ones fabricating it.
- Code-compliant signage: exits, room ID, tactile, wayfinding.
- We stay through inspection — and fix anything that gets flagged.
- Clean install, coordinated with your schedule and other trades.
Custom wood engraving.
Engraved wooden signs, awards, cutting boards and gifts — your logo, text or photo burned into real wood. Sharp, permanent, and made right here in North Vancouver.
