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.
Proudly fabricated in Canada.
Designed, built and installed on the North Shore in North Vancouver, BC. Canadian materials, Canadian craftsmanship — and we crate and ship our work anywhere in the world.
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.
