Fit-outs & joinery in Burleigh Heads

The older streets behind the hill hold post-war beach houses and 1970s and 80s brick-and-tile, a lot of it now being renovated rather than replaced. Along James Street and down toward the beach there is a dense hospitality and retail strip that turns over regularly. Both sides of that make for a suburb where almost nothing is a blank canvas.

Renovation joinery in an older house means working to what is there rather than to a drawing: timber floors that have moved, walls out by 15mm across a room, ceilings that step. Scribing and setting out carry the job, and a cabinet built to the plan rather than to the wall will not fit. On the retail strip, cafe and shop fit-outs run to a tight handover because the tenancy pays rent from day one, so most of the work happens outside trading hours.
