BUILDING SIGNAGE AND VISUAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS (VIS) – DESIGN, PRODUCTION AND INSTALLATION
Building signage as a strategic decision.


If you don’t want to return to the topic of signage after the building is completed and expect it to work without corrections or improvisation, this model is the only sensible solution.

 

Building signage as a strategic decision

WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GET

– visual information system (VIS) design
– production of signage elements
– installation and final system completion

Everything delivered in one fully controlled process.

RESPONSIBILITY

We do not sell individual elements.

We take responsibility for how the building functions, how it is perceived, and how it operates in everyday use.

OPERATIONAL DECISION

For the investor, this means one thing:
– signage is no longer a variable
– it becomes a closed operational decision.

  • What you realistically get
  • Responsibility
  • Operational decision

Process and way of working

HOW WE WORK WITH VISUAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS

– design, production, and installation on one side
– no decision gaps between stages
– no shifting of responsibility

PROCESS RESPONSIBILITY

If any part of the system fails to perform its function:
– you don’t look for someone to blame
– responsibility is clear

  • How we work
  • Responsibility of the process

Design, use and durability

SIGNAGE DESIGN

FOR REAL BUILDING USE

The visual information system is created:
– based on real user movement scenarios
– with consideration of the building’s function and rhythm
– without designing “based on declarations”

Signage must work in practice, not only on paper.

MATERIAL DECISIONS BUILT TO LAST

– selection of durable, legible solutions for the long term
– elimination of materials and forms that do not age well
– design for long-term use

Signage must retain clarity and purpose over the years,
not just for a season.

A CLOSED PROCESS WITHOUT LAST-MINUTE IMPROVISATION

– no random compromises at the final stage
– no “rescuing” the project after installation
– no decisions made under time pressure

The final result is:
– predictable
– structured
– consistent throughout the entire building

  • Utility design
  • Material decisions
  • Closed process

Final result and guarantee

FINAL RESULT CONTROL

The final result is:

– predictable
– structured
– consistent throughout the entire building


We do not finish our work with the delivery of elements. We finish it when the visual information system functions as a whole.

PRETENDE GUARANTEE

We do not guarantee individual products.
We guarantee the performance of the visual information system after implementation. This means:
– a guarantee of visual consistency throughout the entire building
– a guarantee of legibility in real-world use
– a guarantee of compatibility with the building’s architecture
– a guarantee of long-term validity of design decisions

If any element of the system fails to perform its intended function, it is our responsibility — not yours.

RESULT AFTER IMPLEMENTING THE SIGNAGE SYSTEM

After the project is completed, the signage:

– guides users intuitively and without frustration
– organizes the space informationally and visually
– strengthens the perception of the building as well-thought-out and professional
– does not require constant corrections or after-the-fact decisions
– supports the building’s image for years


This is not a purchase.
It is the stabilization of the building’s operational and perceptual standard.

WHO THIS OFFER IS FOR


This offer is for investors and property managers who:
– think about the building in a long-term perspective
– expect a predictable result instead of improvisation
– do not want to coordinate multiple contractors
– treat signage as an element of the building’s overall quality

This is not a solution for projects where:
– price is the only criterion
– signage is meant to be “just good enough”

SCOPE OF PRETENDE’S RESPONSIBILITY

– one team responsible for the entire process
– one decision instead of multiple approvals
– one standard of the final result

If signage is meant to:
– work without corrections
– support users and architecture
– not return as an issue after project completion

then this model is not one of many options. It is a ready-to-decide offer.

  • Control of the final result
  • PRETENDE Guarantee
  • Effect after implementation
  • Who this offer is for
  • PRETENDE responsibilities

Wayfinding - spatial orientation and signage systems

Wayfinding is a system of spatial orientation and visual information whose purpose is to enable users to move independently, intuitively, and safely within a given environment — without the need for additional instructions, assistance, or explanations. PRETENDE Wayfinding is a service covering the design, production, and implementation of spatial orientation systems, delivered under a single responsibility and within one coherent process. A wayfinding system operates through the logical placement of information, a clearly defined hierarchy of messages, and formal consistency throughout the entire space.

Pricing of Visual Information Systems (VIS)

Pricing is not based on a price list, but on the function and scale of the building. The project scope is defined based on real usage.

Pricing requests are handled exclusively via email or the contact form.

HOTEL SIGNAGE – SELECTED PROJECTS

Hotel signage is not decoration. It is an operational decision that affects the functioning of the property, guest comfort, and the hotel’s image in the long term. We deliver comprehensive hotel signage systems in a single, closed process — from design, through production, to installation — executed under one implementation standard. One responsibility. One process. One predictable result.
We deliberately do not separate design, production, and installation between different parties, as this model generates inconsistencies and correction costs that become apparent after the property opens. We design repeatable systems that are clear for guests and can be applied in future investments without loss of standard. The final result is predictable — without surprises and without coordination risks.
