The Greenway shop · A photographic history
A workshop built
from the ground up.
The bare shop, the late nights and the finishing touches. This is how our Tuggeranong shop took shape in 2019.
An idea on the drawing board
Designed by David.
Built around the work.
David began planning the fitout in Microsoft Publisher in April 2019. The layout covered every wall, bench, light switch and power point, as well as the systems that would keep the shop and workshop running.
Contractors built the internal walls and suspended ceiling. An electrician installed the 240-volt circuits, and an air-conditioning company installed the three air-conditioning units.
David completed the painting, cabinetry, flooring, data cabling and the rest of the internal fitout and installations, with a little painting help from a family friend. The shop opened in December 2019.

Glass display cabinets take their places on the new showroom floor.
Benches, monitors, tools and blue air hoses are in place, with the last finishing work still under way.
