My company purchased a run-down industrial warehouse in Northgate. Architect Taylor Ellis was engaged to prepare refurbishment plans and these were forwarded to two contractors for pricing. The quotes received were very close, but I engaged OC Studio for one compelling reason, their demolition contractor could start immediately. Time was of the essence because a tenant had been secured and they required occupancy in a very short timescale.

As promised, the partial interior demolition commenced the next day. Because of recent flooding in Brisbane and supply-chain backlogs resulting from Covid there was a shortage of building materials and skilled labour. Nevertheless Kel Matheson, ably supported by Des Wilson and his team, worked to a tight timetable. Weekly site meetings revealed significant progress each time. As is typical of refurbishment projects, new issues were encountered regularly. Invariably Kel took them in his stride, added the new jobs to the programme and sourced appropriate sub-contractors.

The refurbishment was completed on time and within the original budget, to a very high standard. The extra jobs were priced fairly, which was pleasing (often these can be the reason for argument at the end of a project). The tenant is delighted with their ‘as new’ warehouse.

I congratulate OC Studio for an excellent outcome. Paul O’Sullivan priced the works quickly and accurately, Kel jumped straight in and meticulously planned the programme of works and Des made it happen, often working very long hours, including weekends.

I have no hesitation in recommending OC Studio for their professionalism, ‘can-do’ approach, and quality of workmanship.

“OC Studio have completed numerous projects for me over the past 5 years and we have always found their work to be of a very high standard. Their company has excellent follow up and the communication between client and contractors is excellent.

I would have no problems in recommending OC Studio to any other Property/ Operations Manager.”

I have been working with OC Studio for several years in my role as a Property Asset Manager. I find this organisation very professional, an organisation that assists at looking for a better option to complete some works. Recently, OC Studio undertook a project in one of our managed properties where they installed a series of wooden walkways and decks instead of undertaking massive works to relay old, very tied, and outdated pavers.

This has resulted in additional useable space for our occupant’s thereby increasing revenue and in the longer-term higher income for our client. This was an excellent outcome. The workmanship is of a very high standard, and we were kept fully informed during, and at completion, of the project and are very pleased with the final job.”

Experienced, agile, innovative, and first-rate communicators are a few words I would use to describe the team at OC Studio. I have engaged the OC team on hundreds of jobs valued from $150 to over $1M and everything in between. Their high-level attention to detail and ability to think outside the box to solve complex problems has helped to deliver hundreds of impressive results on jobs for commercial property owners. I can’t endorse them enough; in fact, I have engaged OC to complete works in my personal home.

HCP have been using OC Studio for many years, across a wide variety of projects on Commercial, Industrial, and Retail assets.

The team at OC Studio have provided us with a professional, considered and timely response to all of our projects, no matter how big or small.

From their quality design work, to the clear pricing and expert project management, jobs are finished to a high standard, on time and on budget.

I would have no hesitation in recommending the team at OC Studio (other than I don’t want them to get too busy to do my work!)
