Wayfinders

The platform

Built on our own platform.

We built the software because the work needed it. It runs the approvals, holds the record, and connects the wayfinding package to the tools everyone else on the project is already using.

01

Approvals

Approvals are where wayfinding projects die.

The conventional sign schedule goes out as a PDF. Comments come back in an email, or three emails, or a marked-up print. Someone rebuilds the schedule by hand and it goes out again. Four rounds, five rounds, a fortnight each, and by the time it settles the fit-out programme has moved underneath it.

In our platform a sign is a record, not a row in a document. The client, the architect, the project manager and our designers all look at the same schedule, live. Comments attach to the individual sign rather than to a version of a file, so nothing has to be rebuilt between rounds. Approval is given sign by sign, and it is dated and attributed.

That is how approvals come down from months to days, and why the average package clears in 1.8 design rounds. The waiting and the re-typing have been taken out.

02

Integration

Wayfinding stops being the package you chase outside your own tools.

The platform ties into the construction management system the main contractor already runs. Sign status, outstanding approvals and programme dates surface where the site team is already working, alongside every other package.

No separate login to remember, no parallel spreadsheet drifting out of date, and no weekly email asking where the signage is. If it has moved, you can see that it has moved.

03

Design data

The wayfinding package lives in the model, not in a PDF.

We work natively from CAD. Your floorplans and fire drawings come in as geometry, and every sign is placed against the real building rather than traced onto a flattened image. When the layout changes, the schedule knows.

Output goes to BIM. The wayfinding package arrives in the federated model as objects with locations, types and attributes, so it can be coordinated with services, clash-checked and interrogated like any other trade. For an architect or a developer this is the difference between wayfinding as a document handed over late and wayfinding as part of the design information from the start.

04

Traceability

Every sign, every approval, every certificate.

Each sign carries its own history: who designed it, who approved it and when, what it was manufactured from, who installed it and on what date, and which certificate it sits under.

This is the part that underwrites the commercial promises. The price holds because the scope is known sign by sign rather than estimated. The programme holds because status is visible before it becomes a delay. Certified handover is possible because the record was built as the work happened, not assembled afterwards from memory.

05

Handover

The building gets the record, not just the signs.

At completion the client receives the O&M documentation, the as-built sign schedule and the certification records, all generated from the same data that ran the project.

It stays useful after practical completion. When a sign is damaged in year four, the replacement is specified from the record rather than from a site measure and a guess.

Common questions

How does the platform cut signage approvals from months to days?
By making every sign a record in one live schedule. The client, the architect, the project manager and our designers all see the same schedule, comments attach to the individual sign, and approval is given sign by sign, dated and attributed. Nothing is rebuilt between rounds, and the average package clears in 1.8 design rounds.
Can the wayfinding package be exported to BIM?
Yes. We work natively from CAD, placing every sign against your floorplans and fire drawings, and output goes to BIM. The package arrives in the federated model as objects with locations, types and attributes, so it can be coordinated with services and clash-checked like any other trade.
Does it integrate with our construction management system?
Yes. The platform ties into the construction management system the main contractor already runs, so sign status, outstanding approvals and programme dates appear where the site team is already working. There is no separate login and no parallel spreadsheet.
What does traceability mean for each sign?
Each sign carries its own history: who designed it, who approved it and when, what it was manufactured from, who installed it and on what date, and which certificate it sits under. Because the record is built as the work happens, certified handover is possible.
What does the client receive at handover?
The O&M documentation, the as-built sign schedule and the certification records, all generated from the same data that ran the project. If a sign is damaged years later, the replacement is specified from the record rather than from a site measure.
Who uses the platform on a project?
Everyone who has to sign off or track the wayfinding package: the client, the architect, the project manager and the main contractor's site team, working from the same live schedule as our designers. We built the software because the work needed it.
