Who are we

Nearly two decades, one focus.

The company was formed in 2006 and was called Focus Commercial Interiors, with one aim: to provide the best service to their clients. This ethos is still at the core of who we are.

Our history

2006

Founded by two brothers who were well respected in commercial interiors in Brisbane, focused on internal linings, joinery and carpentry.

2012

Renamed Focus Fitout Specialists as the business expanded to offer clients a complete turnkey fitout experience. Completed projects in 90% of CBD buildings.

2021

Todd Dunlop joined as Managing Director and 100% shareholder, bringing 20-plus years of experience delivering projects for Tier 1 and Tier 2 builders in Brisbane, Melbourne and internationally. This has allowed the business to grow by expanding both the types of projects and operating sectors.

Today

Todd has built an experienced team with similar Tier 1 and Tier 2 backgrounds, giving FOCUS CONSTRUCT a unique position with their clients. FOCUS CONSTRUCT offers a complete building experience — new build construction, fitouts and refurbishments — built on collaboration and a solution-based approach to best-for-project decisions.

The Focus method

Five key areas of the construction process, delivered well, every time.

01

Planning

A hands-on planning process that thoroughly reviews every aspect of your project before it starts.

02

Design development

Partnering with architects, interior designers and consultants to turn the client's vision into reality on budget and on time.

03

Cost management

An in-house Quantity Surveyor supports pre-construction budgeting, cost planning and delivery to budget.

04

Project delivery

Rigorous reviews covering programming, design management, risk, quality control, cost and safety, with hands-on director oversight.

05

Handover

Meticulous handover manuals, training sessions and defect completion before handover to minimise disruption.

The team

The people behind every project, from planning through to handover.
