Our Areas of Expertise.
We understand every aspect of creating a space that is functional, well equipped and built to standards. With in-house hospitality designers and draftsman, to our extensive knowledge of equipment and installation, we have the expertise to ensure your space is built to budget, on time and complies with Australian Standards.
CONCEPT DESIGN & FITOUT DRAWINGS
Our in-house hospitality designers and draftsman have years of expertise in custom design of commercial kitchens and bars for restaurants, pubs and bars, hotels, care homes, schools, colleges, and the public sector.
We’re not hospitality interior designers, we purely specilaise in the design of the inside boundary of a commercial kitchen and bar space, specifiying equipment, layout, elevations, service plans and the lot.
Assisting you right from the start to translate your concept ideas to fitout drawings, we first examine your space to determine optimal use and management. We look to gain an in-depth understanding of your business model and visual goals for the space to create a solution which balances functional operation with visual appeal. We provide drawings in AutoCAD format with plan and elevation views.
