A signage audit lists your current signs and printed displays, their condition and what needs replacing. We use photo checklists and send a clear report. Boldmedia Print Zimbabwe can then quote the reprints and replacements.
A signage audit is a structured review of all the signs at one site or across several sites. Each sign is recorded with its location, condition, brand compliance and whether it is still needed. It is useful before a rebrand, when taking over a property, or when signs have been added piecemeal over the years.
A good audit gives you a clear inventory with photos and a list of recommended actions: keep, repair, replace or remove. It also highlights missing statutory or safety signs and wayfinding gaps for you to review. A site survey prepares for one new project. An audit looks at everything already in place, so you can plan and budget properly.

Supplying measurements
Tell us the sites to be audited, the approximate number of signs and any floor plans or site maps you have. Older sign drawings or brand guidelines are also useful.
Artwork requirements
Send your current brand guidelines so signs can be checked for consistency. If a rebrand is planned, include the new guidelines so the audit lists what must change.
Survey and installation
Auditors need access to all areas, including back-of-house and rooftops where signs are installed. Recommended work at height or on electrical signs will be scoped separately.
Maintenance
Use the audit as a living document and update it when signs are replaced or added. Repeating it periodically keeps your signage in good order.
Frequently asked questions
What do I receive at the end?
An inventory of your signs with photos, condition notes and recommended actions.
Can an audit cover several branches?
Yes. Multi-site audits follow the same format, so branches can be compared.
Does the audit confirm legal compliance?
It can highlight signs that appear to be missing, but compliance responsibilities remain with the property owner or employer.
