For larger condominium and apartment projects, the builder should consider installing a direction map board at the main entrance into the project.
This activity should be completed about the same time as the sales models grand opening, installed concurrent with the sales models complex landscaping.
On a particular 282-unit condominium project, the U-shaped buildings had their entry doors and address numbers on the outside perimeter of each 12-unit building, one floor level above a central motor courtyard and above street level.
People driving into the project had no way of finding the house address numbers without getting out of their cars and walking around the buildings.
Not only was it difficult for visitors to find their way around the project, but delivery companies had problems as well.
