Large Sign Project Payment Schedule

How Payment Works for Large Sign Manufacturing & Installation Projects

Large signage projects often involve custom manufacturing, specialty materials, engineering, permit coordination, equipment rentals, and installation crews. To ensure smooth project execution and reliable scheduling, we use a staged payment structure based on project size.

This payment schedule allows us to secure materials, reserve production time, and book installation equipment and personnel well in advance of your installation date.

Projects Up To $2,000

100% Prepayment Required

For smaller projects, full payment is required before production begins.

This allows us to process your order quickly and maintain our competitive pricing structure.

Projects Between $2,000 and $10,000

50% Deposit
50% Balance Due Before Installation

The initial deposit secures your project, covers material purchases, and reserves production time.

The remaining balance is due once manufacturing is complete and before our crew is dispatched for installation.

Projects Over $10,000

50% Deposit
40% Due Upon Completion of Manufacturing
10% Due On Installation Day Before Work Begins

Large projects often require substantial investments in materials, fabrication, subcontractors, permits, cranes, bucket trucks, or specialized equipment.

The 50% deposit allows us to begin production and purchase materials.

The 40% progress payment becomes due when manufacturing is completed and the project is ready for installation.

The final 10% payment is due on the installation date before work begins.

Why We Use This Payment Structure

Large sign projects require significant upfront commitments long before installation day arrives. In many cases, materials are custom ordered and cannot be returned. Installation crews, bucket trucks, cranes, and other equipment must be scheduled weeks in advance.

Our payment schedule helps ensure:

  • Faster project scheduling
  • Reliable installation dates
  • Reduced project delays
  • Fair risk sharing between both parties
  • Competitive pricing without financing costs being built into every project

Important Notes

  • Production begins only after the required deposit is received.
  • Installation dates are reserved only after deposit payment.
  • Final installation may be rescheduled if required payments are not received on time.
  • All custom-manufactured products remain the property of Quarter Cheaper Signs until paid in full.
  • Any additional work requested after approval may require a change order and additional charges.
