Site hoarding signs are installed on temporary perimeter structures such as hoarding panels, fencing and barriers surrounding construction or development sites. They typically include a combination of safety information, mandatory notices, wayfinding and branded messaging.
As part of a wider Non-Illuminated Signage approach, hoarding signage prioritises clarity, robustness and ease of replacement rather than long-term architectural finishes.
Hoarding signage usually performs several roles simultaneously across a site perimeter.
Safety and compliance signage
Essential information such as warnings, mandatory PPE notices and emergency
instructions, often specified alongside
Safety Signs to meet site and regulatory
requirements.
Information and directional signage
Signs that communicate site details, access points, delivery routes and
pedestrian guidance, helping manage movement around the perimeter and
entrances.
Branding and development messaging
Printed panels and graphics used to present project information, developer
branding or future site visuals, improving public perception during
construction.
Site hoarding signs are temporary by nature, designed for the duration of construction or development works. Unlike permanent exterior signage, they are specified for flexibility, replacement and cost efficiency.
Hoarding signage is often delivered alongside Temporary Signs and Safety Signs as part of a coordinated site signage package. Once works are complete, permanent exterior signage typically replaces hoarding elements.
Site hoarding signage helps control risk by clearly communicating hazards and restrictions to the public and site personnel. Visible, consistent signage reduces confusion and supports safer working environments.
Hoarding signage also shapes how a development is perceived. Well-presented, organised hoarding signals professionalism and care, even during disruptive construction phases.
JD3 begins by understanding site layout, hoarding construction and required safety information. From this, we recommend suitable sign sizes, materials and fixing methods that work with temporary structures.
Signs are produced using durable, weather-resistant substrates and clear graphics suited to outdoor exposure. Installation or supply is handled with practicality in mind, allowing panels to be updated or replaced as site conditions change.
Site hoarding signage is used to manage safety, communicate information and present a professional appearance around construction and development sites. JD3 designs and manufactures hoarding signs that balance compliance, durability and clear communication in active site environments.
Effective hoarding signage protects the public, supports site operations and helps developments present a controlled, well-managed frontage throughout the build process.
