Commercial Fit-Outs questions.
What types of commercial fit-outs do you take on?
OB Carpentry has extensive experience fitting out shops, offices, bakeries and small factories. Oliver provides a complete fit-out service or full project management of a business venture, and can custom-fabricate fixtures and fittings, or rejuvenate and adapt an existing fit-out so a business stands out. Past work includes a multi-level boutique retail fit-out in Paddington that combined two outlets into a retail space, cafe and commercial kitchen.
Can you project-manage a fit-out involving multiple trades?
Yes. Oliver has managed fit-outs that involve sourcing tenders for key elements, contracting fabrication and installation, and coordinating multiple trades. A past example is The Original Bagel Company's expansion, where OB Carpentry project-managed the fit-out of three retail outlets and relocated the bakery to a custom-built premises in Bowen Hills. Project management means one point of accountability for the whole job.
Do you repair structural problems in older commercial premises?
Yes. Older shopfronts and premises are often structurally damaged by previous fit-outs. OB Carpentry carries out the structural repair needed to make a building sound again before the new fit-out goes in — one Paddington retail building had been badly damaged by earlier work and required extensive repair before it could be brought back to its turn-of-the-century character.
Can you custom-make counters, fixtures and joinery?
Yes. Custom fabrication is part of the commercial service. Oliver has built cafe counters from recycled timbers to match the era of a building, which proved a more economical result for the client than engaging a separate cabinet maker. Fixtures and fittings can be custom-made or adapted from existing pieces, depending on what suits the space and the budget.
How disruptive is a fit-out to a trading business?
Oliver plans the work to keep disruption manageable and to deliver on time and on budget. Because OB Carpentry runs one project at a time, your fit-out has his direct attention rather than being one of many jobs being juggled. Timing, staging and access are discussed up front so the work fits around your business as much as possible.
How do I get a quote for a commercial project?
Start with a phone call to talk through what the business needs. Oliver will arrange to see the premises, discuss the scope and the trades involved, and prepare a quote based on what the project requires. Pricing depends on the size of the fit-out, the materials and the amount of structural or repair work involved, so each quote is prepared specifically for the project.
“For many years, whatever the repairs or additions, we called on Oliver to carry out the task. He has also undertaken the role of Project Manager when we set up Le Scoops at The Gap. In all aspects Oliver proved to be diligent and competent. We can thoroughly recommend him to anyone.”
