Installation services

Commercial installation, start to sign-off

One crew, one process: survey the site, confirm the substrate, install after hours if the space is trading, photograph the result and hand back a clean space.

How we work

The install is the deliverable

Print, fixtures and film are only as good as the hands that fit them. Artek is set up as an installation business: certified crews, field survey discipline, and scheduling built around buildings that are open for business.

We work as the installation partner to brands, print producers, fixture manufacturers, general contractors and property managers. You keep the client relationship. We make sure what arrives on site actually goes up.

  • Survey before productionField dimensions and substrate notes go back before anything is printed.
  • Certified installers3M certified crews with commercial graphics and film experience.
  • Occupied buildingsNight, weekend and phased work in stores and offices that stay open.
  • Documented handoverPhotos, quantities installed and an exception log per location.

Multi-site work

Rollouts across the Prairies

Two locations built to the same prototype still have different glass layouts, wall textures and landlord rules. We survey each address, track it in a location matrix and report status per site so nothing gets installed twice or shipped to the wrong door.

  • One survey pack per address before production
  • Location matrix tracking survey, artwork, production, shipping and install
  • Consistent crew leads across the program
  • Landlord and mall access handled ahead of the install date
  • Per-site photo sign-off in one report

Process

Five steps, every project

The same sequence whether it is one storefront or forty locations.

  1. Scope

    We review drawings, artwork or a photo and tell you what is missing.

  2. Survey

    Field measurements, substrate assessment, photographs and access notes.

  3. Confirm

    You get dimensions, quantities and any exceptions before production.

  4. Install

    Scheduled around trading hours, with the right crew size for the scope.

  5. Sign-off

    Photo record, quantities installed and a punch list if anything remains.
