Twenty-five years in the shopfitting industry — tradesman through to production manager for one of Australia's leading shopfitting companies — now looking after maintenance and repairs for property managers, retirement villages, early learning centres and retailers across the Gold Coast.
25 years in the shopfitting industry, now running my own maintenance business across the Gold Coast — servicing real estate agencies, retirement villages, childcare centres and retail alike. I've built everything from playgrounds to tiny homes, while renovating houses all along the way, including years spent servicing some of Queensland's most high-end properties. On the childcare side I've got plenty of experience with fencing and gates, working alongside trade partners, and I can assist directly with centre assessments and ratings, general maintenance, assembly and asset upgrades.
Most of the work is business-to-business: people who need a job closed, documented and invoiced properly, not just done.
Qualified cabinet maker, servicing Gold Coast real estate agencies and property managers for several years, successfully clearing job lists, photographed and invoiced in a format an owner will approve without a phone call.
Former maintenance manager in the childcare industry, experienced getting centres ready for assessment and rating reviews. Blue Card active and fully insured.
Twenty-five years in the shopfitting trade. Repairs and upkeep done to shopfitting standard, and the store trades the next morning.
Unit turnover refreshes, common-area repairs and in-unit jobs for residents, carried out patiently and tidily, and booked on weekdays around village routines.
A general handyman gets it working. A qualified cabinet maker with 25 years in the trade gets it right — square, aligned, fixed to structure, and finished to a standard you can photograph.
A few examples of the jobs that come up most. It’s nowhere near the full list — after 25 years in the trade, not much is too hard. If you don’t see it here, just ask.
Phone, email or the form. Photos help. For agencies, forward the work order exactly as it came in.
Site visit where it is needed, then a written quote with a fixed scope, inclusions, exclusions and terms.
Confirmed date, tidy site, tenants and staff dealt with politely, and the job finished in one attendance wherever possible.
Before-and-after photos and a clear invoice, so you can close the work order and the owner can approve it without a phone call.
Short, practical pieces for property managers, centre directors and owners.
Any handyman can quote a job. Here's the practical difference a qualified cabinet maker with 25 years in the trade makes to the jobs on your list.
Read it →Most flat-pack assembly stops when the last screw goes in. On tall units with a real tip risk, the wall fixing is the part that matters.
Read it →In a tight rental market, presentation still decides how quickly a property leases and at what rent. These are the seven jobs worth doing first.
Read it →The Gold Coast and surrounding areas, Coolangatta and the southern suburbs up through Burleigh, Robina, Surfers Paradise, Southport and Helensvale to Coomera and Ormeau, and west to Nerang, Mudgeeraba and the hinterland. Larger commercial and maintenance jobs can be quoted into Logan and northern New South Wales. See the full list of areas serviced.
Qualified cabinet maker with 25 years across every stage of the shopfitting trade, covered for $20 million public liability, with an active Blue Card, First Aid and CPR. Currently completing the Kitchen, Bathroom & Laundry builder-restricted licence, due early next year.
Yes. I’m covered for $20 million in public liability insurance, and a certificate of currency can be emailed to your office or uploaded to your contractor portal before the first job.

Site visit or photos first, then a written quote with a fixed scope, inclusions, exclusions and payment terms. No verbal ballparks that change later.
A deposit secures the booking and materials, with the balance due on completion. Agency and commercial accounts can be set up on 14-day terms after the first job.
Usually, yes, that is the point. Send the list ahead of time so the right materials are on the van, and most agency job lists are cleared in a single attendance.
Agencies and centres: forward the work order or the job list as it is. Everyone else: a few lines and a photo is plenty to get a price back.
