Pylon systems designed around the property
A pylon sign is a structural site project. The sign, foundation, electrical service, access and municipal rules must be coordinated together.
Single Business
- One primary brand panel
- Illuminated or non-illuminated
- Custom cabinet and finish
- Roadside visibility review
- Foundation and installation scope
Multi-Tenant Property
- Primary property identification
- Replaceable tenant panels
- Consistent panel hierarchy
- Service access
- Future tenant-change planning
Digital / Architectural
- LED message centre option
- Premium cladding and dimensional copy
- Custom cap and base details
- Controller and electrical planning
- Engineering and permit coordination
Pricing depends on overall height and area, structure, foundation, soil and site conditions, illumination, digital components, cladding, engineering, permits, access and installation.
Site-specific commercial structures
Pylon signs are custom quoted
The current category product is unrelated to pylon construction, so it is preserved in the catalogue but intentionally not shown here. Start with a site assessment instead.

Why properties choose pylon signs—and ASC
Pylon signs organize tenant information and create identification at roadway scale.
Long-Range Visibility
Height and scale improve recognition from approaching traffic.
Day & Night Presence
Internal or external lighting extends visibility after dark.
Tenant Organization
A clear panel hierarchy helps visitors find businesses quickly.
Permit & Engineering Planning
Setbacks, sign area, height, structure and foundations are reviewed.
Custom Fabrication
Cabinets, panels, cladding and supports are coordinated as one system.
Installation & Service
Excavation, lifting, electrical access and future maintenance are planned.
Sign permit support across Greater Vancouver
ASC Signs can help prepare and coordinate sign permit applications throughout Greater Vancouver, including the City of Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, Maple Ridge and the Tri-Cities—Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody. Requirements vary by municipality, property and sign type. Municipal approval timing is separate from design and production.
A clear project path
From site survey to installed pylon sign
The location and structural scope are understood before engineering and fabrication.
Share the property
Send the address, site photos, survey information, tenant count and visibility goals.
Review feasibility
ASC checks location, setbacks, utilities, access, power and likely permit limits.
Approve design & engineering
Confirm the sign hierarchy, dimensions, materials, foundation and drawings.
Permit, fabricate & install
Proceed after approvals, then coordinate fabrication, excavation, electrical and installation.

Common questions
Pylon sign FAQs
A pylon sign is typically taller and supported by one or more columns for longer-range visibility. Monument signs are generally lower and visually integrated with a solid base.
Most new pylon signs require structural review of the cabinet, support, anchors and foundation. Requirements depend on size, height, wind exposure and municipal rules.
Yes in most cases. Height, area, setbacks, location, illumination and electronic-message rules vary by municipality. ASC can coordinate permit documentation across Greater Vancouver.
Yes. Multi-tenant systems can be designed with replaceable faces or panels so business names can change without replacing the full structure.
Sometimes. An LED message centre requires municipal approval plus appropriate structure, electrical service, thermal planning, controller access and content-rule review.
Height, sign area, tenant count, materials, illumination, digital components, structural engineering, foundation and soil conditions, electrical work, permits, access and installation equipment affect cost.
