Commercial construction and fit-outs in Brisbane
Commercial construction, fit-outs and refurbishments across Brisbane, delivered by a QBCC-licensed family builder who plans around how your business actually operates.
Commercial work, planned around the business
Commercial projects fail on the things nobody planned for: flood risk, non-compliant services, a fit-out that cannot grow. We scope those first, then build.
- Office and workshop fit-outs
- Mezzanine build-outs and new office space
- High-specification boardrooms with conferencing
- Switchboard and critical services upgrades
- Flood-resilient planning and detailing
- Sectioning areas for sublease with their own facilities
- Future-proofing for large solar and battery systems
- Electrical compliance, certification and rectification
Sumner commercial fit-out
A commercial refurbishment on a site that floods to three metres. The work was planned around that fact rather than in spite of it.
square metres of office
flood depth across the site
areas sectioned with their own facilities
roughed in for a large battery system
The brief
The client had outgrown their original premises and bought a property with good bones and strong workshops. What it did not have was office: around 150 square metres for roughly half a dozen staff.
The challenge
The site floods, at times two and a half to three metres deep. Every high-value function in the building had to be planned around that.
What we found
A detailed electrical inspection revealed the property was largely non-compliant and extensively flood-damaged. The insulation on the wiring had dissolved and had never been replaced.
How we approached it
- Lift the switchboards and critical services above the flood line
- Build the new office over the existing mezzanine rather than extending the footprint
- Section areas for sublease, each with their own facilities
- Rough in for a large solar and battery system so it can be added without reopening the building
The result
Office space expanded from 150 to 400 square metres over the existing mezzanine, including a high-specification boardroom with room-booking displays and conferencing for a globally spread team.
The outcome
A commercial agent valued the property well above expectation, lifting the rent per square metre.
Commercial construction questions
The things Brisbane business owners ask us most. Anything else, get in touch.
Do you take on commercial fit-outs in Brisbane?
Yes. We deliver commercial construction, fit-outs and refurbishments across Brisbane, from office and workshop fit-outs to mezzanine build-outs, boardrooms and services upgrades. We are QBCC licensed (15097104) and have been building since 2013.
Can you build around flood risk?
Yes, and we plan for it from the start. On a Sumner project where the site floods at times two and a half to three metres deep, we lifted switchboards and critical services above the flood line and planned every high-value function around that risk.
Can you stage the work so we keep trading?
Yes. We sequence commercial works around how the business actually operates, so you keep trading where possible. We agree the staging and access before we start.
Do you handle electrical compliance and certification?
Yes. We commission detailed inspections where needed and manage compliance and certification as part of the build. On one commercial site an inspection revealed the property was largely non-compliant and flood-damaged, with wiring insulation that had dissolved, which we rectified.
Can you future-proof the building for solar and battery?
Yes. We can design and rough in the fit-out so a large solar and battery system can be added later without tearing the building apart again.
What does a commercial fit-out cost?
It varies widely with scope, services and compliance work. We scope and price after a site inspection so you get a real number rather than a guess.
