Overview

Commercial carpentry is a different discipline to residential work. The programme is tighter, the site is often live, the base build has its own rules, and the work is judged on whether the tenancy opens on the date the lease says it will. Orange Projects works as a commercial carpentry contractor across the Gold Coast and Brisbane for fit-out builders, property managers, centre management, retailers and office tenants. We carry out the carpentry scope on retail and office fit-outs - partition framing, linings, bulkheads, doors and hardware, joinery installation, feature and timber work - along with defect rectification, make-goods and ongoing maintenance carpentry across a portfolio. We work after hours where a centre or office requires it, and we deal directly with centre inductions, permits, protection requirements and access windows.

Fit-out carpentry that keeps a programme honest

On a fit-out, carpentry sits in the middle of the critical path. Partitions have to be framed before services rough-in, linings have to close before ceiling grid and painting, and joinery cannot land until the substrate is right. We plan our labour against the builder's programme rather than our own convenience, flag long-lead door and hardware items at the start, and resource up when a stage moves so the trades behind us are not standing around.

Working in live retail and office environments

Most Gold Coast and Brisbane commercial carpentry happens next to trading tenancies or occupied floors. That means centre inductions, permits to work, hoarding and floor protection, dust and noise control, controlled deliveries through loading docks, and a site left clean and safe every single morning. We are set up for night works and weekend shifts and price them honestly rather than discovering them halfway through.

Doors, hardware and compliance

Commercial door sets carry requirements a residential door never does - fire ratings and tags, acoustic seals, closers, latching and egress hardware, accessibility clearances and lever heights. We install to the specification and the certifier's requirements, keep the door schedule and hardware register current, and hand over the documentation the building needs at practical completion.

Maintenance carpentry across a portfolio

Beyond fit-outs, we handle the ongoing carpentry that property and facility managers need: damaged door and frame replacement, hardware failures, wall and ceiling repairs, damaged linings, loose joinery, timber decay in external areas, and make-good works between tenants. Jobs are scoped, quoted and reported with photos so the work is easy to approve and easy to bill back.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work as a commercial carpentry subcontractor for builders?

Yes. A large share of our commercial work is as a carpentry subcontractor to fit-out and construction builders across the Gold Coast and Brisbane. We price the carpentry package from drawings, resource to the programme, and handle our own inductions, SWMS and insurances.

How much does commercial carpentry cost?

Small maintenance and door works generally run $500-$5,000. Partition, lining and fit-out carpentry packages typically range from $15,000 to $250,000+ depending on tenancy size, ceiling heights, after-hours requirements and finish level. Every project is quoted from drawings or a site walk, at a fixed price.

Can you work after hours so we do not lose trade?

Yes. Night works, early mornings and weekend shifts are standard for us in shopping centres and occupied office buildings. We organise inductions, access and permits with centre or building management before we start.

Are you licensed and insured for commercial sites?

Yes. Orange Projects holds a QBCC licence (No. 15620733) and carries public liability and workers insurances. We provide certificates of currency, SWMS and inductions before mobilising to site.

Do you handle fire-rated and acoustic door installation?

Yes. We install fire-rated and acoustic door sets to specification, including correct frames, seals, closers and tagging, and record them on the door and hardware schedule for handover documentation.

What areas do you cover for commercial carpentry?

The Gold Coast and Brisbane primarily, plus Logan, Ipswich and the Redlands. For multi-site portfolio work across South East Queensland, talk to us about a standing arrangement.

Can you do tenancy make-goods?

Yes. We handle make-good works at lease end - removing fit-out elements, reinstating partitions, linings, doors and floors, and returning the tenancy to base-build condition to the landlord's schedule.
