The Australian Sign and Graphics Association (ASGA) has released a number of handy calculators to help member businesses save time and ensure accuracy across some common job processes.
The new resources, which are available via the Member Portal, include:
- Weight of Materials Calculator
- Estimated Lightbox Brightness Calculator
- Max Lengths for Hook Up Cables Calculator
- Concrete Calculator
- Expansion of Materials Calculator
- Viewing Distances for Text Calculator
According to Mick Harrold, president of ASGA, the calculators are just one more tool designed to help ASGA Members save time, make it easier to deliver great work, and comply with an increasingly regulated environment.
“Calculating the various elements involved in a job can take a lot of time, and with the wide variety of work handled by many businesses in the industry, it’s not uncommon for even seasoned professionals to have to pause to try and remember the right way to calculate things,” explained Harrold.
“With these newly-released calculators, you can cut that investment in time and resources, and make the process easier as they’ve been designed specifically for our sector, as a handy ‘ready reference’ tool to help industry professionals make good calculations quickly.
“Businesses across our sector are involved in producing a very diverse range of products, and business owners all bring different skills and experience to their roles.
“Our job as the industry association is to support those businesses – whether they are small or large, short on staff or well-resourced, highly experienced or just starting out – to deliver good, consistent and compliant work and to do so in a way which is efficient and profitable. That’s how we build a stronger industry.”
