COMMERCIAL FIT-OUTS GEELONG

Commercial Fit-outs Geelong: restaurants, cafés, offices, salons and shops

Commercial fit-outs from the bare shell to the day you open: walls and ceilings, joinery and counters, kitchenettes, amenities and the finishing. We do the carpentry and joinery install ourselves and coordinate the plasterer, electrician, plumber, tiler and painter, so the fit-out runs as one job and leaves complete.

FIT-OUTS WE DO

Restaurant, café, office, salon, retail and custom fit-outs

Whatever the business, the fit-out is the same three things: the shell, the joinery and the finish.

Restaurant

Dining room walls, banquettes and joinery, service counters and the back-of-house walls, built so the kitchen trades can fit off around them.

Café

Counters, bench seating, shelving and display joinery for small spaces that have to work hard, finished to take daily wear.

Office

Partition walls and offices, meeting rooms, suspended ceilings, kitchenettes and reception joinery, from an empty floor to desks in place.

Salon

Styling stations, basin units, storage towers and feature walls for hair and beauty salons, set out so every chair works.

Retail

Shopfront doors, counters, shelving and display walls, with the work timed around the centre’s hours and the shops next door.

Custom

Clinics, studios, club rooms and anything else: walls, joinery and finish built to the brief and the space.

WHAT MAKES A FIT-OUT RUN WELL

Where fit-outs slip, and how we keep them on track

Joinery lead times

Counters and cabinetry take weeks to make. We order early and build the walls around the dates.

Trades in the right order

Framing, rough-in, plaster, joinery, fit-off, paint. One programme, so nobody waits on anybody.

The shell you start with

Old ceilings, floors and walls hide surprises. We open them up early and price what we find before going on.

Neighbours and landlords

Shared walls, centre hours and loading docks agreed before work starts.

FIT-OUT QUESTIONS

Commercial fit-outs: common questions

How long does a Geelong fit-out take?
Most of ours run 2 to 6 weeks on site once we start, with joinery lead times usually setting the pace. You get the programme in writing before we begin.
Do you handle the joinery install and the finishing?
Yes. Carpentry, joinery install and the finishing touches, with the other trades coordinated if the job needs them. It leaves complete.
Can you work from our designer’s drawings?
Yes. We build from your designer’s or shopfitter’s drawings, or from a sketch and a site walk for smaller fit-outs.
Can you fit out while the business next door keeps trading?
Yes. We keep the noise and dust to the hours agreed with the centre or landlord, and keep shared areas clear.
Who brings in the electrician and plumber?
We do. The licensed electrician and plumber we work with rough in and fit off around our carpentry, on the one programme.
