Structural Signage & Project Management
NBNE supplies and project manages post-mounted signs, monoliths and entrance signage for business parks, estates and commercial sites. We handle design, fabrication, groundworks, steelwork coordination and installation.
Signage panels are manufactured in-house. Structural engineering (wind loading calcs) via trusted partners. Steelwork, groundworks and lifting via local contractors. All coordinated by NBNE.

- Monolith Signs – Freestanding vertical structures with built-up letters or printed panels
- Post-Mounted Signs – Aluminium or ACM panels fixed to timber or steel posts
- Totem Signs – Tall, slender structures ideal for multi-tenant sites
- Plinth-Mounted Signs – Low-level signs on brick or stone plinths
- Directional Signs – Wayfinding posts and finger posts for site navigation
