What we do

From the ground floor to the roof line.

Twelve glazing disciplines under one contractor — so the curtain wall, the entrance, the railings and the skylight are all detailed by the same people, and nobody points at anybody else when there is a problem.

Why A-1

One contractor, start to finish.

We survey the opening, develop the shop drawings, source the system, fabricate what needs fabricating, and install it with our own crew. There is no chain of subcontractors between you and the person holding the caulking gun — which is why the detailing is consistent and the schedule holds.

About Our Work
Aluminum curtain wall glazing on a commercial building
01 / SCOPE

Commercial & residential

Towers, retail units, offices, custom homes and strata buildings — the same standard of detailing on each.

02 / CREW

Installed by our own team

No pass-through subcontracting. The people who quote the work are the people who do it.

03 / RESPONSE

Answered around the clock

Emergency board-up and glass replacement 24/7, because broken glass is a security problem before it is a repair.

Also available

The rest of the catalogue.

Six more disciplines, from skylights and canopies through to custom architectural glass built from drawings.

Interior glass is judged from six inches away. Edgework, alignment and the reveal at every junction have to be right — there is nothing to hide behind. Read more →
Overhead glazing is the least forgiving assembly in the building. Water finds every shortcut, so slope, gasket selection and the perimeter flashing detail get the attention. Read more →
On a custom home the window package sets the character of the building and a meaningful share of its energy performance. Getting the sizing, sightlines and hardware right is worth the extra coordination up front. Read more →
A railing is a guard first and a design feature second. Tempered-laminated glass, a properly engineered base shoe and correct anchorage are what make it both. Read more →
Structural glass lives and dies by its fittings. We source tested hardware and install it to the manufacturer's torque and tolerance — not by feel. Read more →
Some assemblies do not exist as a product. When the drawing calls for something that has to be engineered, fabricated and installed from scratch, that is the work we like most. Read more →

Strata & property managers

Built for buildings with councils.

Strata work runs on a different clock — quotes that survive a council meeting, scheduling around residents, and documentation the property manager can actually file. We quote in a format your council can approve, and we keep the paperwork straight.
