Construction site boards are large prints that must survive months of sun and rain. Boldmedia Print Zimbabwe prints site boards on Chromadek, ACM or PVC with UV-resistant inks. Larger boards may need a site survey before a formal quotation.
A construction site board is the main sign erected at the entrance or boundary of a building site, showing the project name, the developer or client, and the professional team and contractors involved. It is typically a large printed panel on a steel or timber frame, set up at the start of the project and kept in place until completion.
A good site board is large enough to be read from the road, laid out so every party’s name and logo is clearly presented, and built on a structure that will stay stable in wind for the length of the project. It differs from a project information board, which focuses on the development itself and selling it, and from contractor or consultant boards, which identify individual companies; the main site board brings the whole team together in one place.

Supplying measurements
Tell us the board size required by your contract or preferred for the site, where it will stand, and the ground conditions. Photos of the proposed position from the road help us confirm visibility.
Artwork requirements
Send the project name, a list of parties with their roles, and each company's logo as vector artwork where available. We lay out the board and circulate a proof so all parties can check their details before production.
Survey and installation
Large boards are freestanding structures exposed to wind, so posts, bracing and footings may need engineering input where required. Installation can be arranged on site, and the board can be removed when the project is complete.
Maintenance
Check the board and frame periodically, especially after storms, and tighten fixings as needed. Clean the face occasionally so construction dust does not obscure the details.
Frequently asked questions
What information should be on the board?
Usually the project name, client or developer and the professional team; your contract or the client's requirements may specify the exact content and size.
Can we update names during the project?
Individual panels or overlay strips can be replaced if parties change.
Can you remove the board at the end?
Yes, removal can be included in the quotation.
