Work In Progress (WIP) signs are required on many construction sites throughout New York City. These signs inform the public that construction work is underway and provide important information about the project and responsible contractors.
Contractors often search for a template or example of the required Work In Progress sign before ordering or printing signage for a job site.
NYC Work In Progress Sign Example
A typical NYC Work In Progress sign includes:

- Owner information
- General contractor name
- Permit number
- Architect or engineer information
These signs must be clearly visible to the public and placed near the construction entrance.

DOB Requirements for Work In Progress Signs
New York City Department of Buildings regulations require construction sites to post signs identifying the project and responsible parties. These requirements help maintain transparency and improve public safety.
