“What would a shopfront sign cost?”, priced while you’re up the ladder.
Signage runs on site visits, square metres and artwork approvals. Stubie handles the enquiry-to-deposit part so measuring and making get your attention.
See it on your own enquiriesWhy sign shops end up quoting late
Half the enquiries have no sizes
"A sign for my shop" with one photo taken from across the road. Someone has to ask the right questions before anyone can price.
Per-m² with a dozen materials
Chromadek, ABS, correx, vinyl and LED each have their own rate, plus installation by height and distance. Easy to misquote in a hurry.
You're on site all day
Installs happen in daylight; quoting happens after supper. The enquiry that came in at 09:00 gets answered at 21:00, if it's lucky.
It asks for the sizes, so you don't have to.
When an enquiry is missing dimensions or material, Stubie asks the customer the questions you would ask, straight away, by email. By the time you look, the enquiry has sizes, a material and a draft price per your m² rates. Site-visit jobs get flagged for exactly that.
- Per-m² rates by material, installation by height band
- "Needs site visit" flag instead of a guessed price
- Artwork proof attached to the quote the customer accepts

Most of my jobs need a site visit before I can price. Doesn't that break this?
No. It changes what Stubie sends first. Jobs matching your site-visit rules get an instant reply that books the visit instead of guessing a price. The measured quote goes out through the same thread afterwards, with the deposit chased as usual.
Installation pricing depends on height and travel. Can the list hold that?
Yes. Installation lives in your list as bands: single storey, double storey, cherry-picker, plus a per-km travel rate. Anything outside the bands waits for you rather than guessing.
Customers approve artwork on WhatsApp and then dispute it. Does this help?
The proof is attached to the hosted quote page, and acceptance covers price and artwork together, timestamped. "That's not what I approved" now has a single answer: the page they accepted.
