Clear communication is really important in the busy environment of a construction site. Good signage helps keep everyone safe while ensuring smooth operations. Built Environs project site signage templates allow for the consistent application of the Built Environs brand on all of our sites. The templates are used to clearly identify our sites, designate and direct people to different areas within a site, and makes people aware of any hazards present.

The proportional guidelines have been developed to ensure that signage has clarity, impact and can be easily read from a distance. Please use them in conjunction with the rest of the guidelines to ensure correct use of the Built Environs logo.

If you need a different sign, or a situation arises that is not covered in these guidelines please contact: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Layout Approach

Built Environs layouts are dynamic. Items appear to move around the page in relation to each other. This approach activates the page and avoids them looking boring or static.

Our moving approach to layouts is achieved through noticable shifts in size and different alignments between one item and another.

Composing Layouts

In this cover example:

• Our logo has lots of space
• Interesting image of a recent project
• Header is set in our font, Navigo, and interacts with the image
• The cityscape graphic is overset the cover image at 80% transparency

Example Layouts

The flexible layout structure enables content to be configured to suit the tone and content of the message to be conveyed.

For example, marketing items can be bright and loud, or a page with lots of text on it can be quiet, making it easy to read.

Whether in print or online, customers will often experience Built Environs through photography and video first. Both are a powerful tool to help us communicate our capabilities, our culture and differentiate the Built Environs brand from our competitors so it’s important we get it right.

Planning & Scheduling

Capture projects as they come to life and progress. Ensure shoots are planned in advance to capture any significant milestones throughout the various stages of the projects' development.

Hire a photo/videographer to capture project milestones.

While a professional photo/videographer has the skills to get a great shot, they’ll need guidance on what aspects of a project are important. Talk to them about how best this can be achieved and ask for their advice on any particular techical aspects that may need capturing. Make them aware of the details of the project and the particular innovations or challenges we want to highlight.

Video

Video is an important medium for communicating our brand both internally and externally. It is a powerful tool that helps us demonstrate our capabilities, share our culture and gives the viewer a dynamic experience of our brand.

Logo

The Built Environs logo should appear in the opening and closing frames. The logo may animate but the final frame should show the horizontal logo, static and centred on the screen on a green background.

Graphics

You may use the cityscape graphics in videos. Do not use graphics or introduce other elements that are not part of our brand.

Be honest

Capture the achievements of Built Environs and let the footage speak for itself. Don’t mislead by using footage that does not honestly represent what we do.

Text in Video

Fade in lower third text and graphic, no need to animate

Use sentence case for all lower third text - NEVER all caps.

Headline & Breakout Typeface

Navigo Medium is the Built Environs headline typeface and is an important part of the visual language of the brand. Used in large size with a ‘blackout’ background, it is to be used as a headline/title style as well as for breakout text within documents.

Navigo Medium has been chosen for its contemporary proportions and distinctive style.

Navigo Medium is available via Adobe Fonts and can be activated as part of the Adobe Creative Cloud suite.

Body Copy Typeface

Acumin Pro is the Built Environs body copy typeface. Use Acumin Pro for information such as body copy and smaller detailed typography.

We use four weights of Acumin Pro:

• Bold and Light for pull-out text and body copy
• Regular and Black weights for detailed type

Acumin Pro is an Adobe Original typeface that has been chosen for its balanced, rational qualities and its exceptional performance and text size.

Acumin Pro is available via Adobe Fonts and can be activated as part of the Adobe Creative Cloud suite.

System Typeface

Arial is the Built Environs system typeface. For internal use when Navigo and Acumin are not available use Arial.

Use Arial in office applications such as PowerPoint and Word for internal documents, letters, emails, memos, presentations etc.

Do not change the height of the blackout background in headings

The blackout background type style for headings is set to accommodate the total height of a block of text including ascenders (top of capital letters and vertical strokes in tall letters) and descenders (parts of letters that drop down such as in the lowercase g).

In instances where there are no descenders in a heading there will be more space below the type than there is above.

Blackout Headings

The proportions of our type styles have been carefully chosen to build and maintain a consistent and recognisable brand across all of our communications.

Do not change the height of the blackout background in headings

The blackout background type style for headings is set to accommodate the total height of a block of text including ascenders (top of capital letters and vertical strokes in tall letters) and descenders (parts of letters that drop down such as in the lowercase g).

In some instances where there are no descenders in a heading, there will be more space below the type than there is above. Do not change the proportions or height of the blackout background or attempt to make them look more even.

Typographic Hierarchy

The below measurements provide a framework for setting type within the Built Environs style, and should be used as a guide when executing various layouts.
