The Problem

Coordinating Signage Shouldn’t Be Your Problem

You’re managing a construction project with dozens of moving parts. The last thing you need is a sign vendor who can’t pull their own permits, misses deadlines, or needs you to coordinate design approvals between the tenant, the landlord, and the municipality.

Most sign companies treat construction projects like retail orders. They don’t understand submittals, scheduling around other trades, or the urgency of a punch list. When they fall behind, it holds up your CO.

AVI Design is the one sign vendor who operates like a real construction sub. We handle permitting independently, provide submittals and shop drawings, coordinate with your schedule, and show up when we say we will. One vendor, one point of contact, zero headaches.

Why AVI Design

We Operate Like a Real Construction Sub

Independent Permitting

We pull our own sign permits. You don’t need to add sign permits to your project management workload. We handle applications, drawings, municipal follow-ups, and any required variances on our own.

Submittals & Shop Drawings

We provide full submittal packages — shop drawings, material specs, color samples, and installation details — formatted to your documentation standards. Revision turnaround is fast.

Schedule Coordination

We align our fabrication and installation timeline with your construction schedule. We attend scheduling meetings, coordinate with other trades on-site, and adjust when timelines shift.

Single Point of Contact

One person manages your entire signage scope — from design through installation. No getting passed around, no miscommunication between departments.

Licensed & Insured

Full general liability, workers’ comp, and all required licenses. We provide COIs formatted to your requirements and add additional insured parties as needed.

Reviews

Trusted by Contractors Across NJ

Real feedback from general contractors and developers who’ve worked with us on construction projects.

What sets AVI Design apart is communication. They coordinated with my construction schedule, pulled their own permits, and installed on the exact date we agreed on. That never happens with sign companies.

We've used AVI Design on three mixed-use developments now. Their submittal packages are thorough, they coordinate with our GC seamlessly, and the finished product always impresses our tenants. They're on every project going forward.

Michael S.
Real Estate Developer · Jersey City, NJ

Finding a sign vendor who actually understands construction timelines is rare. AVI Design provided shop drawings on schedule, installed during our window, and completed punch list items the same week. They get it.

Construction Manager · Newark, NJ

We needed channel letters, monument signs, and suite signage across a 12-unit commercial building. AVI Design handled everything — permits, fabrication, phased installation. One vendor, zero headaches.

Chris M.
Tenant Fit-Out Contractor · Morristown, NJ

Their COI was on my desk the same day I requested it. Installation crew showed up on time, worked clean, and coordinated with my electrician without me having to babysit. That's how a sub should operate.

Tony R.
Commercial Builder · Hackensack, NJ

AVI Design handled signage for our entire waterfront development — monument sign, tenant channel letters, lobby dimensional letters, and wayfinding. Multi-phase, multi-year project. Consistent quality every time.

Steven H.
Property Developer · Hoboken, NJ

We do a lot of storefront renovations and AVI Design is our go-to for signage. They turn around submittals fast, their pricing is fair, and they never miss a deadline. My clients are always impressed with the finished product.

Mark L.
Renovation Contractor · Montclair, NJ

From our 'Coming Soon' banner during construction to the permanent monument sign at completion, AVI Design was with us through the entire project. They understand development timelines and deliver accordingly.
