We transform empty commercial shells into extraordinary event environments through our comprehensive event space fit-out services. Whether you’re a property developer preparing new venues, a consultant with existing specifications, or an event operator seeking a bespoke function facility, we craft complete solutions tailored precisely to your specific requirements. Our expertise spans both CAT A and CAT B fit-outs, allowing us to support clients at any stage of their event venue development journey.
For property managers and investment groups, we provide comprehensive design development and specification of all base building elements to maximise event potential and commercial value. For consultants and project managers, we offer precise technical execution to bring event space specifications to life while ensuring compliance with venue licensing regulations and safety standards.
Our CAT A services deliver complete mechanical and electrical installations including event-appropriate HVAC systems, lighting, power distribution, and building management systems. We install high-quality flooring solutions, ceiling systems, and develop core facilities essential to modern event venues.
Our CAT B services include complete event space division solutions with function area designs, reception zones, flexible entertainment areas, and specialised floor finishes. We implement tailored lighting schemes to create atmosphere and versatility, power and data infrastructure for audio-visual systems and event technology, and integrated systems essential for today’s event experience. We deliver interiors that align with venue identities, from wall treatments to signature design features, and handle all furniture and equipment installation to create engaging guest journeys through reception areas, main function spaces, breakout zones, and service facilities.
For event venue groups seeking to maximise facility value, our process begins with a comprehensive assessment of operational requirements and building potential, followed by strategic specification development that enhances guest experience while controlling costs.
For independent operators and venue managers requiring comprehensive service, we begin with in-depth consultation to understand your event philosophy and guest experience vision, followed by strategic space planning and creative design development tailored to enhance the celebration and gathering experience.
For consultants and project managers with established plans, we provide detailed technical analysis, value engineering recommendations, and quality implementation with minimal disruption to operational environments.
In all cases, we conduct thorough site assessments, prepare or refine construction documentation, secure necessary approvals including venue licensing requirements, and manage the entire event construction process. We coordinate all trades, handle furniture and equipment installation, system commissioning, and provide thorough handover including staff training and documentation. Our process ensures event spaces are delivered to the highest standard, supporting operational efficiency while providing flexibility for diverse event types and future venue requirements.
