How Colite Adapts to Localized Market

• Project managers operate with a proven process for ensuring time and cost efficiency. This process involves the following:

1. Surveys

2. Sign Family Development

3. Brand Books Specific to each site

4. Client Approval

5. Landlord Approval

6. Permit Acquisition

7. Engineered Drawings

8. Manufacturing

9. Installation

Rationale

• Completing the bulk of these tasks prior to manufacturing ensures Schindler that Colite can manufacture and install the signs rather than manufacturing signs that are not allowed at locations.
