Under One Roof
This diverse skillset is fully housed within our building – providing a working advantage not many can match. The all-in-one facility
includes both our design studio and the fully functioning workshop; providing optimum efficiency, flexibility and allowing for
market-leading quality control every time.
We’ve been around the block a few times and we’ve learned a few things along the way. That means we are prepared for any potential
scenario and have the people, the facilities and importantly the know-how needed to deliver quality results.

During that time, he upskilled with courses in joinery and carpentry, amongst others, so he knows what is required from beginning to end of a production schedule.
