DESIGN

Retail and commercial design is a very specific process.

At FOCUS we do not employ designers, however we have access to a number of very qualified design practitioners who you can engage directly to undertake your project.  In our long experience, we know that there are designers for every category of works.  Some have greater experience, knowledge and expertise in certain retail or commercial sectors, or in specific project types.

We also suggest that you engage us early in your deliberations and project discussions, so that we can work alongside you and your chosen designer.  Ultimately, this will save time, money and unnecessary stress.

With FOCUS involved, you will require less detail in your design, which in turn reduces your design costs.  And, the important issue of resolving during this early design brief process, the materials and methodologies to be used, can also be incorporated.

FOCUS engaged early has invaluable cost benefits – less time, lower costs and a design plan that delivers exactly the look and feel you want.

CONTRACT MANAGEMENT

Planning PLUS expertise provides a seamless outcome. 

FOCUS has experience in the management, planning and execution of a wide range of projects.  This expertise has been gathered over a long period of time – in fact since 1984.

We know that our Clients have far better things to be doing than worrying about the micro-management of their fitouts.  The FOCUS attention to detail guarantees that the delivery and handover of the completed project will occur on time.  Further, we know that it will be a stress-free process for the Client, and that the worksite will be left clean and ready for stocking.

Part of FOCUS’ Contract Management procedures provide for a thorough Pre-handover inspection to occur in readiness for the all-important formal Handover.

VALUE ENGINEERING

Individual solutions that match needs. 

At FOCUS our aim is to provide Clients with the very best return on investment for the capital expended.

It can often mean that a range, or a composite of methods are combined to bring about the best possible outcome.  Industry experience and knowledge tells us that it is indeed unusual for FOCUS to undertake a project without adding value to the vision the Client has initially expressed.

Our expertise and resources give us the unique opportunity to achieve the best, most valuable benefits and outcomes by suggesting alternative methods or processes – all designed to reduce Client expenditure and the time required to undertake the project.

JOINERY MANUFACTURE AND PROCUREMENT

Continuous improvement with the Client in mind helps deliver flexible and cost-effective results. 

FOCUS took a deliberate decision to close its in-house manufacture facility.

This has allowed us to be far more flexible and responsive, whilst containing overhead costs at the same time – a positive decision for FOCUS – a positive decision for our Clients.

Over the years we have worked hard to find small joinery manufacturers, right across Australia, who have shown the level of skill and willingness to work with us to provide our Clients with the quality and service level expected.  Because of our accumulated knowledge and extensive background in joinery manufacture, we can ensure our Suppliers will deliver to our exact specifications.

The FOCUS Set-out division however remains.  This allows us to exercise the necessary control over the planning process, and to produce the working drawings as they are required.  In addition to this, we have the strictest quality control inspections and measures in place, undertaken by a skilled senior Team member with significant experience heading the joinery manufacturing division in our previous business.

We know this model works, as it is already proving its worth in serving the needs of both FOCUS and our Clients very well.

FOCUS’ access to quality joinery doesn’t end there though!  In addition to the Australian supply chain, we have established a range of ‘tried and tested’ off-shore joinery supply contacts.  This gives us the ability to ‘mix and match’ and offer cost-effective options when volume and timing suits.

For the very best outcomes, please seek our advice – it will cost you nothing to tap into our experience and networks.

Let’s meet and talk!
