Shopfitting & Commercial Joinery Experts

Custom kitchens, wardrobes and joinery for Port Macquarie - designed, built and installed with over 12 years of local experience

Beyond homes, we build commercial joinery and shopfittings for Port Macquarie's businesses. From cafe and hospitality fit-outs around Town Beach and the town beaches, to retail counters and display joinery in the CBD and Settlement City, to reception desks, office storage and consulting-room cabinetry, we make hard-wearing fixtures to suit the trade. Commercial work takes a beating, so we build for durability with tough laminate and, where needed, solid surfaces, HMR moisture-resistant board in wet and food-prep areas, and soft-close, commercial-grade hardware. We measure on site, work in with your fit-out timeline where we can, and install with our own team. Benchtops and counters use compliant materials only, we do not fabricate or install engineered stone under the national ban. You get a free measure-and-quote and a fixed, itemised price for the works.

Port Macquarie Custom Cabinets

Commercial joinery we build

Our commercial work spans hospitality, retail, office and professional fit-outs. For cafes and eateries around Town Beach and the foreshore we build service counters, back-of-house joinery, coffee stations and shelving. Retail clients in the Port Macquarie CBD and at Settlement City get display units, sales counters, wall shelving and storerooms. Offices and professional suites need reception desks, workstations, filing and kitchenette joinery, while clinics and consulting rooms call for durable storage and bench units. We also handle fit-out cabinetry for local trades and studios. Whatever the use, the fixtures are made to your dimensions and your brand, not pulled from a standard range.

How we build for commercial use

Commercial fixtures get used hard all day, so we build them tougher than a typical home fit-out. Carcasses are heavy-duty melamine or laminate board, with HMR moisture-resistant board in wet zones, coffee stations and food-prep areas where spills and humidity are constant. Counters and benches use compliant surfaces such as laminate, solid timber, stainless or natural stone through licensed stonemasons, and we do not use engineered stone under the current ban. Hardware is soft-close and rated for high use, of the commercial-grade kind Blum and Hettich supply. We measure on site, coordinate with your builder or fit-out schedule where we can, and install with our own team. Careful, tidy installation matters when you are trying to open on time.

Why local businesses choose us

Steve Smith has built joinery across Port Macquarie and the Hastings for more than twelve years, so local trading conditions, salt air and older CBD buildings are well understood. We are fully insured with twenty million dollars of public liability, which commercial landlords and fit-out managers rightly ask about, and every quote is fixed and itemised. Being local means we can get back on site quickly for a snag or an aftercare tweak, rather than routing it through a distant office. We stand behind our workmanship, and manufacturer warranties apply to the hardware and materials fitted. From a small Camden Haven cafe to a Settlement City retail fit, the works are scoped to your space and trade. You deal with the maker directly, start to finish.

What commercial joinery costs

Commercial pricing depends heavily on scope, materials and how hard the fixtures need to work, so every figure here is a guide until we quote. A single reception desk or a compact retail counter might sit somewhere around $3,000 to $9,000, while a full cafe or retail fit-out with counters, back-of-house and shelving can run from $15,000 into the tens of thousands. Heavy-use laminates, solid surfaces, stainless and natural-stone tops all carry different costs, as does site access and after-hours install if you need to keep trading. We can often stage the works to suit a budget or an opening date. After measuring we provide a fixed, itemised quote so the numbers are clear for your business plan.

Bespoke fit-out vs off-the-shelf

Off-the-shelf and flat-pack fixtures are built to generic sizes and light-duty specs, which rarely suits a working business. Older CBD shopfronts and heritage-era buildings around Port Macquarie seldom have square walls or standard openings, and a cafe counter takes punishment a home cupboard never sees. With no IKEA on the Mid North Coast, off-the-shelf usually means freight and self-assembly, or a long drive south, then you still have to make it fit and hold up. Bespoke joinery is measured to your tenancy, built in commercial-grade materials, branded to suit, and installed by our team. You also get a local contact for warranty and any changes as the business grows. For a fixture that trades every day, made-to-measure pays off.

What Our Shopfitting & Commercial Joinery Customers Say About Us

The Process

3 Step Process For Your Shopfitting & Commercial Joinery Needs

Free Measure, Quote and Design

We visit your home anywhere across Port Macquarie and the Hastings to measure the space and understand how you want to use it. From there we help you shape the design and choose materials, finishes and hardware suited to the room and the coastal setting. You then receive a fixed, itemised quote in writing, with no charge and no obligation, so you can decide with all the detail in front of you.

Built in Our Local Workshop

Once the design and quote are approved, your cabinetry is made to measure in our local workshop. Building off site keeps dust and disruption out of your home and lets us control quality at every stage. We use materials chosen for the job, including moisture-resistant board in wet areas, along with quality soft-close hardware from recognised brands such as Blum and Hettich.

Professional Install by Our Own Team

When your cabinetry is ready, our own team installs it on a firm booked date, fitting everything precisely to your space. We handle the install ourselves rather than subcontracting it out, so the people who built your joinery are the ones who fit it. We tidy up as we go and walk you through the finished result before we leave.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know about our Shopfitting & Commercial Joinery In Port Macquarie

Do you fit out cafes and hospitality venues in Port Macquarie?

Yes, hospitality is a regular part of our commercial work. We build service counters, coffee stations, back-of-house joinery and shelving for cafes and eateries around Town Beach, the foreshore and across the wider Hastings. Food-prep and wet zones use HMR moisture-resistant board and wipe-clean, compliant surfaces suited to constant use. We measure on site and work in with your fit-out timeline where we can.

Can you build retail counters and displays for CBD or Settlement City shops?

We do. Retailers in the Port Macquarie CBD and at Settlement City come to us for sales counters, display units, wall shelving and storerooms built to their brand and space. Older CBD tenancies often have out-of-square walls, so measuring and building to the actual room avoids the gaps you get with off-the-shelf units. Everything is quoted as a fixed, itemised price up front.

What benchtop materials do you use for commercial counters?

We use compliant, hard-wearing surfaces: commercial laminate, solid timber, stainless steel, and natural stone such as granite through licensed stonemasons. We do not fabricate or install engineered or reconstituted stone, which is banned nationally from 1 July 2024 due to the silicosis risk. For a busy Port Macquarie cafe or shop we will steer you to the surface that balances durability, hygiene and budget.

Can you work around our trading hours or opening date?

Where possible, yes. We know a fit-out often has a hard opening date and that an operating business may need to keep trading, so we plan the works and, where practical, stage or schedule install to suit. We coordinate with your builder or fit-out manager on site at Settlement City, the CBD or wherever the tenancy is. We will set out a realistic timeframe with the quote.

Are you insured for commercial sites?

Yes. We are fully insured with twenty million dollars of public liability, which most commercial landlords and fit-out managers in Port Macquarie will ask to see before work starts. We can provide the details for your building or centre management. Being a local Hastings business also means we can return quickly if something needs attention after handover.

Do you only do commercial work, or homes too?

We do both. Alongside shopfitting and commercial joinery we build custom kitchens, wardrobes, laundries and storage for homes right across Port Macquarie and the Hastings. That domestic background means our commercial fixtures get the same made-to-measure fit and soft-close hardware, just built tougher for constant use.
