The process

How a bespoke board is designed and made

Six steps, one sign-off. You see a scaled proof of every board before anything is cut, and you know the lead time before you commit.

  1. Step 01

    Enquiry

    Tell us what you need, where it will go, and send photographs if you have them. We reply within one working day with questions or a proposal.

    Output

    Scoped requirement

  2. Step 02

    Site survey

    For multi-board projects or installations we visit, measure and photograph each location, and confirm tool lists with the people who use them.

    Output

    Measured brief and tool lists

  3. Step 03

    Design proof

    We produce a scaled proof of each board showing layout, labels, colours and fixings. You review it with the team and mark up changes.

    Output

    Proof for sign-off

  4. Step 04

    Approval

    Once the proof is signed off we issue an order confirmation with lead time. Nothing is manufactured until you approve it.

    Output

    Signed proof and confirmed order

  5. Step 05

    Manufacture

    Boards are printed, cut and assembled at our UK facility. Each board is checked against its proof before packing.

    Output

    Finished boards

  6. Step 06

    Delivery and installation support

    Boards ship with fixings and a fitting guide. For larger programmes we can install, or attend to support your own team.

    Output

    Installed boards, handover notes

Lead times

How long it takes

Typical lead time from approved proof to dispatch is [X] working days. Site surveys and installation are scheduled separately.

Lead time is confirmed in writing at order confirmation. Multi-site programmes are scheduled in phases and agreed with you in advance.

Enquire

Start at step one

Tell us what you need. A short description and a couple of photographs are enough to begin.
