Expertise — Build

Procurement, Manufacture & Fitout

Built by the people who drew it.

Greater Group procures, manufactures, fits out and installs the environments it designs, so the intent that survives every drawing also survives the factory floor, the container and the site.

WHAT WE DO

Build smarter from manufacture through to installation.

01 · Project Management

Coordinate the programme from start to finish.

One accountable project team manages the programme across schedule, drawings, approvals, tendering, suppliers and site requirements. Clear responsibilities, reporting and communication are established from the outset, giving the client a single point of coordination through every stage of delivery.

OUR SUPPLY ROUTES

01

Local

Melbourne factory

Owned manufacturing in Melbourne. Best when speed to first-off, design integrity on hero units and Australian-made claims outweigh raw unit cost. Suits concept stores, flagship hero units, prototypes, market-of-one builds and fast-turn refurbs.

02

Hybrid

Best of both, sequenced

Hero and first-off pieces run locally while volume is manufactured offshore in parallel. The route most large roll-outs settle on — speed where it matters, cost where it scales. Suits multi-site roll-outs that need flagship-grade hero pieces fast and competitive unit cost on the volume.

03

Offshore

Asia, volume & cost

Full offshore manufacturing across our audited Asia partner panel. Lowest unit cost at volume — provided the spec is engineered for it and quality is controlled at source. Suits high-volume roll-outs and standardised fixture kits where engineered-for-scale specs unlock real unit savings.

Inside The Lab

Our own factory floor, in Tullamarine.

The Lab is Greater Group’s own manufacturing facility in Tullamarine, Melbourne — the reason the first paragraph of this page can say that the people who drew it also make it.

Panel machining

The Biesse Rover flatbed machining centre routes, drills and nests panel components straight from the drawing file, so what was documented is what gets cut.

Why Brands Choose Us

Everything a rollout needs, from one team.

01

Speed

Drawing to store floor in weeks, not quarters. Our Melbourne factory turns hero pieces fast while volume runs offshore in parallel.

02

Scale

One store or one thousand — same team, same standard. We engineer the spec for volume so unit cost actually comes down as you grow.

03

Quality

Independent SGS inspection plus our own QC on every shipment. Nothing leaves a factory without Greater Group sign-off.

04

Honest pricing

Local, hybrid or offshore — priced straight, with no markup hidden in freight. You see what each route really costs against your package.

05

Compliance

SA8000 / SMETA audited supply, ISO-aligned quality, ethical sourcing. Offshore cost with the paperwork buyers and boards expect.

06

One point of contact

A senior key account manager owns your programme end to end — design, manufacture, QC, freight and install. One name accountable, start to finish.

FEATURED WORK

Made, shipped and installed.

Environments manufactured, fitted out and installed by Greater Group — across retail, hospitality, stadium and workplace sites.

How our build process works.

Can you build a design we already have?

Yes. Build is regularly engaged on documentation drawn by someone else — we review it for buildability, price it, and flag where intent and budget will collide before anything is ordered.

Do you manufacture yourselves or subcontract it?

Both, deliberately. Our Melbourne joinery facility has manufactured fixtures, fittings and displays for more than 30 years, with full-size prototyping and a paint and lacquer shop on site. JV partners across Asia add R&D depth and volume, held to the same standard.

Every external supplier passes a three-point audit — CSR, vendor capability and project capability — before they touch a programme.

How do you protect quality across markets?

One project team owns the programme end to end, and QA is signed off against the guidelines the design was drawn from. Barcode tracking, inspections and defect management catch problems before installation rather than at handover.

Can you work around a trading site?

Yes. Staged fitouts around trading floors and occupied venues are routine — including work inside stadium and airport windows where the site is only available between events.

What certifications do you hold?

ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 for quality, environmental and safety management. Our partner network also carries SA8000, SMETA, FSC and CE / UL.

Can value engineering save cost without cheapening it?

That is the whole test. Value engineering here re-engineers existing design intent — material matching, durability, container optimisation and packing to order — so cost comes out and the design stays in.

Where do you install, and are the teams your own?

They are our own. Fifteen Greater Group installation teams cover New South Wales and Canberra, Victoria and South Australia, Queensland and the Northern Territory, Western Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Indonesia.

Owning the teams is what keeps the standard consistent across a roll-out: the same people answer for the install in the tenth market as in the first, rather than a different subcontractor in each.

What happens after handover?

Handover closes with QA signed off against the guidelines the design came from, warranty control and the complete documentation set.

Beyond that, programmed maintenance keeps a site at the standard it opened at — durability inspections, cleaning protocols, on-site repairs, warranty care and day two works. Measuring how the space then trades, and acting on it, is where Perform picks up.
