Shopfitting & Commercial Joinery In Yeppoon

It depends heavily on scope, so we treat figures as indicative guides until we have measured. A single joinery item such as a reception desk or retail counter often lands in the low-to-mid thousands of dollars. A cafe or small-retail fit-out with counters, back-bar, shelving and display typically runs into the tens of thousands, and larger office or multi-zone retail projects scale from there. The main cost drivers are the finish level, integrated services like power and plumbing cut-outs, hardware grade and whether we work around a live business. You get a written, itemised quote and shop drawings so every element is costed clearly.

In many cases yes. Because we are a local team we can often work outside trading hours or stage the fit-out so an operating business keeps trading while we install. We plan the joinery sequence around your electrician, plumber and any refrigeration mechanic so trades are not tripping over each other and nothing has to be pulled apart and redone. When a lease deadline is running, we book the install window in writing and coordinate deliveries so your tenancy opens on time. Talk to us early and we will build a sequence that protects your trading days.

Yes. We build carcases from 16 to 18 mm HMR moisture-resistant board, glued and dowelled and built square, with heat-sealed edge-banding. Drawers run on full-extension runners rated around 40 kg, up to 70 kg for heavy till or stock drawers, and hinges are quality soft-close units engineered for well over 100,000 open-and-close cycles, which is what a busy counter needs. We hold reveals to within about 2 mm with 3-way adjustable hinges so gaps stay even under constant trade. With more than 12 years local experience and $20M public liability cover, our fit-outs are built to survive years of customer traffic.

We start by scoping how your business trades and what the tenancy and lease require, then complete a site measure and produce shop drawings so you can approve the layout before we cut anything. We coordinate our joinery around your other trades, fabricate off site, then install around your trading hours where possible. For any stone counters we coordinate a licensed stonemason using a compliant material, since engineered stone is prohibited and we do not install it. You receive a written, itemised quote up front and a local contact on 0485 032 128 throughout the job.

That is exactly what we build for. The common failure in a cheap fit-out is a counter that loosens at the joints and drawers and hinges that wear out within a year of trade. We build square, glued and dowelled carcases and specify commercial-grade hardware: full-extension runners rated around 40 kg and up to 70 kg for heavy drawers, and hinges rated well beyond 100,000 cycles. Wet-zone joinery is sealed, though we are honest that moisture-resistant board is not waterproof. The result is a counter that still opens cleanly and sits true after years of customer traffic.

Start with how customers and staff move through the space and where the money is made, then spend the finish budget where it is seen. We often specify hard-wearing laminate for back-of-house and reserve a compliant stone or premium finish for the counter that faces the queue, which keeps the fit-out sharp without over-spending. We factor in your trade type, foot-traffic level, lease conditions and any equipment and servicing, then show it to you in shop drawings before we build. With 12+ years fitting out local retail, cafe and office tenancies, we give practical advice grounded in what actually works on a Rockhampton floor.
