Case Study: Cutting Multifamily Certificate-of-Occupancy Delays by 14 Days

How Sunrise Signs helped eliminate a two-week delay using SignFlow 360™ and the Developer’s Sign-Off™ Design Program

Delays in receiving your Certificate of Occupancy (CO) can stall tenant move-ins, increase holding costs, and frustrate your investors. On a recent multifamily housing project, Sunrise Signs helped a developer eliminate a 14-day delay by managing over 800 signs using our signature tools: SignFlow 360™ and the Developer’s Sign-Off™ Design Program.

🚧 The Challenge

Signage was an afterthought. The GC handed off signage to a low-bid vendor. There were no sign plans in the drawings, no compliance reviews, and no centralized way to track approvals. When inspectors showed up, the project wasn’t ready.

The result? A two-week delay in receiving the CO.

✅ Our Seamless Solution

Sunrise Signs implemented a two-phase process that made signage one of the smoothest parts of the entire project:

Phase 1: Developer’s Sign-Off™ Design Program

Imported blueprints into SignFlow 360™
Mapped every sign to ADA and fire code
Created full visual proofs with materials, sizes, and finishes
Reviewed plans with local inspectors pre-fabrication
Captured all approvals digitally through our online portal

Phase 2: SignFlow 360™ Production & Execution

Tracked 800+ signs through a centralized dashboard
Provided install maps and scheduling tools for field crews
Delivered final compliance packets for smooth inspection approvals
