INFILL SIGNAGE REQUIREMENTSGUIDE TO PRODUCTION & INSTALLATION

Developers, contractors, builders and communities need to work together to maintain safe, tidy and considerate infill building sites. To support open communication and respectful construction practices, The City of Edmonton has implemented three signs to be posted on infill construction sites: an address sign, a development permit notification sign, and the worksite code of conduct.

ADDRESS SIGNIt is mandatory for every construction site in the city to have a temporary sign displaying the site address and building permit number until construction is complete or permanent address signage is installed.
