Finally some semblance of progress.
The sign was In Memoriam.

Why would they install the pretty new sign on a wall that is still unfinished? Seems like it is still missing it's exterior sheathing...I thought this was the purple insulation layer they painted a few weeks ago... You can see the painted tape around it... hmmmm maybe they had a contract that they started paying rent as soon as the sign went up?

The purple boards are sheathing, not insulation, and they weren’t painted.

ok. whatever...the walls appear unfinished.... and yet the sign is going up.... which usually happens after the walls are completed.... normally...

The gold is a little bright, but I think the sign looks nice and fits the restaurant chain ... Doesn't necessarily feel like The Boardwalk, but that ship has sailed...lol We really needed something like a Diner type restaurant there on Crescent Lake....that would be open until Midnight...

Because like the walls it’s not what you are assuming.

Let's not be (the site that shall not be named) and write an article saying it's a new color when it's just plywood.

It’s very clearly not just a sign that is installed onto a finished surface. The contractor isn’t just risking having to pay to replace something for lols or to fake progress.

I don’t think it was meant to explain anything in detail, just saying that the weird idea that they would do things out of order or in a riskier fashion just to feign progress is both baseless and silly to theorize about when those commenting don’t understand the process well to begin with.

I have had two different contractors do that during construction projects....so the concept of it actually happening doesn't sound foreign to me... and in both situations the things they were doing had to be completely redone do to damage occurring afterwards.... And yes they were professional contractors...
My father was an architect/builder... I grew up around construction.... Though I understand techniques change...

That typically happens on small-scale projects when you have specific sub-contracted trades that want to get in and out, e.g. it might be better to do some tile work, then some finish carpentry, then a bit more of the tile work, but the tilers want to get in and out in one day. That’s obviously not the case here where, if they had wanted the signs installed later, they could have just called in the sign installers later.

Did they also build a niche just the right size to hold the signage nearly flush with the rest of the wall? Did they put a sheathing brand’s logo onto rigid insulation? Did they use paint as a bonding agent or weather barrier?
There shouldn’t be much to explain. The piece of signage was placed into a very tightly built niche, clearly built to hold it. Yes, contractors sometimes do dumb things and work out of sequence, but that doesn’t somehow result in precise work.
