Frequently Asked Questions.

Wayfinding signage software is a digital tool used by consultants and designers to plan, place, and document directional and informational signs within buildings. It replaces manual annotation on floor plans and spreadsheets with a structured system that auto-generates sign schedules and BOQ documents.

SignCode follows a three-step process: (1) Define your sign taxonomy — categories, sub-types, and naming conventions. (2) Place sign codes directly on architectural floor plans using the spatial canvas. (3) The system automatically synchronizes placement data into sign schedules and exportable BOQ/PDF documents.

SignCode is built for consultant-scale wayfinding projects in hotels, shopping malls, condominiums, apartments, mixed-use developments, healthcare facilities, transport infrastructure, and institutional campuses.

A sign schedule is a structured document that lists every sign in a project with its code, description, type, location, floor, and quantity. SignCode auto-generates sign schedules from your placement data, eliminating manual transcription.

A signage BOQ is a document that summarizes the total quantities, specifications, and sometimes costs of all signs in a project. SignCode exports BOQ data directly from your placement canvas — no separate spreadsheets needed.

Yes. SignCode is designed for hotel and hospitality wayfinding, including room identification, directional signage across floors, lobby directories, and fire safety sign placement. The system handles multi-floor projects with unique sign codes per location.

Yes. Shopping malls require large-scale wayfinding coordination across multiple zones and levels. SignCode manages sign taxonomy, spatial placement, and schedule generation for projects with hundreds of sign locations.

SignCode operates as a standalone web application. You upload floor plan images (PNG, JPG) into the canvas workspace, then place sign codes directly on them. It replaces the Illustrator-to-Excel workflow with a single structured system.

SignCode exports sign schedules and BOQ data as PDF documents. Exports include sign codes, descriptions, locations, quantities, and floor references — formatted for client-ready delivery.

SignCode offers four access tiers: Trial ($0 — 1 project, 3 floors, watermarked PDF), Pro ($99/month — 2 projects, unlimited floors), Team ($449/month — 8 workspaces, 6 members), and Ultra (custom pricing for global firms). All plans include core taxonomy and placement tools.

Yes. SignCode is built with GDPR compliance and follows EU and US privacy standards. There is no third-party data sharing, no ad tracking, and all project data is stored securely.

SignCode is the planning layer — sign taxonomy, spatial placement, and schedule generation. SignBuild (currently in development) will be the execution layer — fabrication management, materials tracking, installation scheduling, and delivery coordination.

A sign taxonomy is a hierarchical classification system that organises every sign in a project by function (directional, identification, informational, regulatory), sub-type, material, and mounting method. It establishes consistent naming conventions and code patterns used throughout the sign schedule and BOQ.

A sign schedule lists every individual sign with its unique code, type, location, floor, and specifications — one row per sign per location. A BOQ (Bill of Quantities) aggregates the schedule into totals per sign type for procurement. The schedule is the detailed record; the BOQ is the summary derived from it.

Yes. SignCode handles multi-tower residential developments with lobby directories, unit identification, parking structure wayfinding, amenity signage, and fire safety placements. The system manages typical floor repetition across 30+ levels.

After placing sign codes on your floor plans, click the Export button to generate a PDF document containing the complete sign schedule. The export includes sign codes, types, descriptions, floor references, mounting methods, and quantities — formatted for client delivery.

Yes. SignCode supports multi-language sign descriptions within the taxonomy system. You can define bilingual or multilingual text for each sign type, which carries through to the sign schedule and BOQ exports.

ADA-compliant wayfinding signage meets the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements for accessibility: raised tactile characters, Grade 2 Braille, high-contrast finishes, non-glare surfaces, and mounting at specific heights (48–60 inches from floor). SignCode includes regulatory sign types for ADA and accessibility compliance in its taxonomy.
