COMMERCIAL CARPENTER GEELONG

Commercial Carpenter Geelong: carpentry for sites that stay open

Commercial carpentry for hospitals, schools, utilities, offices and shops: walls and ceilings, doors and frames, ramps and boardwalks, and the specialist installs other carpenters pass on. We plan around the people using the building, do the safety paperwork first, and leave the work finished.

COMMERCIAL CARPENTRY

What we build on commercial sites

These are the commercial carpentry jobs we take on most. Our fit-out page covers shops, offices and salons.

Walls, ceilings and partitions

Timber-framed walls across open spaces, sound-rated and fire-rated plaster walls, and suspended ceiling grids with tiles.

Patient lifting tracks

Ceiling hoist tracks in hospitals and aged care: straight, H-pattern and gate tracks, fixed above or below the ceiling and tested before handover.

Doors and frames

Stainless steel doors in plant rooms, solid-core and fire doors, frames cut out of concrete and replaced, and the hardware to suit.

Ramps, boardwalks and access

Timber ramps with handrails, boardwalks over sand and ground, and platforms and stairs for site buildings.

Outdoor structures

Timber walkways and pergolas at schools, roof structures on existing posts, and retaining walls built to engineering.

WORKING ON LIVE SITES

What makes commercial carpentry different

People still use the building

Patients, students, staff and customers. We stage the work, fence it off and keep exits clear.

Paperwork first

Inductions, safe work method statements and sign-in before the first tool comes out.

Drawings and engineering

Ramps, tracks and retaining walls are built to the drawings and engineering supplied, and set out before anything is fixed.

Hours that suit the site

Early starts, after-hours and weekend work, agreed in writing.

COMMERCIAL QUESTIONS

Commercial carpentry: common questions

Can you work outside our trading hours?
Yes. A good part of our commercial work happens before opening, after close or over a weekend so your doors stay open. We set the hours before we start and put them in writing.
Do you install ceiling hoist tracks?
Yes. We install patient lifting tracks in hospitals and aged care, from the fixing above the ceiling to the finished track, working to the supplier’s drawings and the site’s staging.
Who coordinates the other trades?
We do. One team, one point of contact, and the finishing included, so you are not chasing a painter or a plasterer after we leave.
Do you supply safety paperwork before starting?
Yes. Safe work method statements, inductions and site sign-in are done before we start, and our team is police checked and insured to $20 million.
Do you do work outside Geelong?
Most of our commercial work is in Geelong and the region around it. For larger installs, like hospital lifting tracks, we have worked across Victoria.
