Work In Progress Signs

The NYC DOB has required and recommended signs for construction companies in New York. Brooklyn Signs has created hundreds of these signs, and is familiar with both the laws and regulations that the Department of Buildings requires, and has everything you need to create signs that meet those needs. Rush orders available.

We Make All Types of Job Site Signs for Contractors

In the field of constructions, signs are critical. They’re used for safety. They’re used to share information to those that may need to be informed of your work. In many cases, the signs themselves are so important that they are required by the NYC Department of Buildings.

Brooklyn Signs has long been familiar with the DOB sign requirements in NYC, as well as those in other cities and states. We are able to create the demolition signs, “Work Area Ahead” signs, and other types of displays that are needed both for liability purposes and regulatory purposes.

DOB Signs

Types of DOB Signs

What Are The Necessary DOB Signs?

The New York City Department of Building (NYC DOB) requires specific types of signs to be placed at each construction site. For example, before even starting construction, every contractor must put up a Work in Progress Signs – sometimes called a WIP Sign – on any side facing the street (corner lots require at least 2 signs). There are also many other types of DOB signs, including:
  • Hard Hat Area Sign
  • Building Construction Signs
  • Construction Regulation Signs
  • Sidewalk Closed Signs
  • What’s Going on Here Signs
  • Reflective Signs, and More
Many warning signs are required depending on the project, and some signs may not be specifically required by the DOB, but are still important safety signs for both legal and ethical reasons. Many construction companies consult the list of OSHA construction signs that are used on these types of projects to get a better idea of the signs needed. At Brooklyn Signs, we have several decades of experience with construction signs and can also direct you to those that you need. We offer several different materials for these safety signs, including:
  • Metal
  • Styrene
  • Corrugated Plastic
Metal signs are fire retardant, which is often important for construction projects. Customization is possible, but DOB signs must have certain heights of the letters, readability, and specific colors (for example, a specific blue PMS color for the Work in Progress sign.Because of our experience in the field, we can help you design these DOB signs so that they match New York City requirements.
