Multi-Site Signage & Franchises

One point of contact to roll out and maintain your network's signage, borough by borough, location by location.

SIX LOCATIONS,
SIX SIGNAGE BYLAWS

Montreal has 19 boroughs, each with its own signage bylaw: allowed sign area, height, lighting, heritage review. For a network opening several locations, we manage that file borough by borough before fabrication, not after a refusal.

Montreal has 19 boroughs, and each one writes its own signage bylaw. Allowed sign area, projection over the sidewalk, maximum height, front-lit or halo-lit lettering, heritage or PIIA review — the answer changes when you cross the street.

For a brand opening several locations, that's exactly where the schedule breaks: the sign is built and sitting in the shop while the permit is still under review, and the opening date slips.

We handle the permit file borough by borough — drawings, dimensioned elevations, forms, follow-up with the inspector — and we adjust the sign to what each borough allows before fabrication, not after a refusal. One drawing package, one point of contact, an installation schedule aligned with your opening dates.

Beyond the island, we also cover Laval, the North Shore and the South Shore — each with its own municipality to deal with.

ONE NETWORK, ONE FILE

For a multi-site network, the hard part isn't building one sign — it's building the same compliant sign, location after location, without starting from scratch at every opening. Here's how that file stays managed in one place.

Single Point of Contact

One contact follows your entire network, from the first quote to the installation at each location — not a new contact for every opening.

Per-Banner Standards Binder

The approved visual template, materials and dimensions for your sign are documented once, then reused as-is for every new location.

Borough-by-Borough Permits

Every permit file is built to match the relevant borough or municipality's bylaw, before fabrication starts.

Reusable Fabrication Templates

Production files from one location become the base for the next, so nothing starts from scratch at each new opening.

Annual Master Agreement

A single master agreement can cover all the openings planned for the year, instead of a separate quote every time.

Maintenance & Portfolio Inventory

Signs already installed are tracked in a centralized inventory — models, dimensions, install dates — to plan maintenance or replacement.

WHAT WE GET ASKED MOST

The questions below come up most often in a first conversation with a multi-location network or franchise. The answers reflect exactly how we manage a multi-site file, with nothing invented.

Are signage bylaws the same across all boroughs of Montreal?
No. Montreal has 19 boroughs and each one writes its own signage bylaw: allowed sign area, projection over the sidewalk, maximum height, front-lit or halo-lit lettering, heritage or PIIA review. The answer changes when you cross the street, which complicates any network project opening several locations.
Can you file the permit applications on our behalf?
Yes. We handle the permit file borough by borough — drawings, dimensioned elevations, forms, follow-up with the inspector — and we adjust the sign to what each borough allows before fabrication, not after a refusal.
How do you make sure all our locations get the same sign?
One drawing package serves as the reference for the whole network, with a single point of contact overseeing it and an installation schedule aligned with your opening dates, location by location.
Do you work outside the island of Montreal?
Yes. Beyond the island, we also cover Laval, the North Shore and the South Shore, including Saint-Jérôme, Terrebonne, Blainville, Mirabel, Longueuil, Brossard, Saint-Hubert and Greenfield Park among others — each with its own municipality to deal with.
