The short answer

For hotel, motel and serviced-apartment projects in Australia and New Zealand, we make guestroom joinery and coordinate loose furniture to the designer’s FF&E schedule. A sample room or key pieces are approved before the batch. Your specifier names the standards that apply; we agree any third-party testing, packaging, room labels and destination arrangements before manufacture.

What we supply

Guestrooms

Wardrobes, luggage benches, headboard walls, bedside tables, desks, minibar and TV units, bathroom vanities and mirrors.

Serviced apartments

Kitchenettes, laundry cabinets, wardrobes, storage, dining and living furniture.

Public areas

Reception desks, lobby seating, restaurant banquettes, dining furniture and feature wall panelling.

Motel refurbishments

Repeated room packages, with production and shipment phases agreed by building or floor.

Standards your specifier may call for

Requirements depend on the country, building use, room and product. These are examples your specifier may nominate. A reference in this table does not establish that it applies to every Australian or New Zealand hotel.

Asbestos controlsAustralian Border Force and New Zealand EPA import rulesReview material risk and evidence before shipping. Where required, use a suitably accredited laboratory; a supplier declaration alone does not establish a test result.

We do not claim default certification to every standard. We agree applicable tests, the approved sample, the accredited laboratory and the evidence needed before shipment. Displayed CE and FSC documents belong to our board and material suppliers.

Packing and biosecurity

Sample room first

  1. Specification review. Read the FF&E schedule and list questions on materials, sizes and standards.
  2. Shop drawings. Prepare item drawings for designer approval.
  3. Sample room. Make a complete room or agreed key pieces for photographs, video or inspection in Foshan.
  4. Batch production. Produce to the approved sample and review the agreed checking points.
  5. Labelled loading. Label by floor, room type and room number; agree the loading sequence with the site team.

No minimum order

We review projects from one sample room or a single motel refurbishment to full-property roll-outs. The sample comes first either way; freight and destination costs are assessed for your order.

Planning the timeline

Drawings and sample confirmation usually take 7–14 days. Production typically takes 30–45 days after sample approval, then allow for sea freight and clearance. These are planning references; materials, quantities, revisions and capacity determine the agreed program. Larger properties can be phased by floor or building.

Measuring and installation

For Australian projects, a local measuring team and project-specific local partners can support the order. Casegoods can be factory assembled before shipping. Site fixing, services and final installation still require a defined local scope. Factory installers may travel by agreement, subject to country, team availability, fees and visa conditions. New Zealand arrangements are confirmed separately.

Common questions

Can you make a sample room before the full order?

Yes. We agree a complete sample room or key sample pieces and obtain approval before batch production.

Do you meet AS/NZS standards?

Send your specifier’s requirements. We review the applicable country, product and test method, then agree any testing of the approved sample with a suitably accredited laboratory. We do not claim blanket certification to every listed standard.

Is your packaging ISPM 15 compliant?

For applicable solid-timber packaging we arrange the agreed approved treatment and legible ISPM 15 marking. Wholly processed-wood packaging can be outside ISPM 15, but your broker must still check destination import conditions and any solid-timber components.

What boards do you use for formaldehyde emissions?

The board type, emission class and test method are specified for your project. We review the particular board supplier’s reports before production; an E0 or E1 label alone is not proof of every project requirement.

Is there a minimum order?

No. We can review one sample room, a single motel refurbishment or a full-property roll-out. Scope, freight and destination costs are assessed for the order.

Can you refurbish a motel in stages?

Yes. We can agree production and shipping phases by floor or building, coordinated with your site program and receiving team.

Do you supply New Zealand?

Yes. We coordinate the agreed packaging and shipment documents with your broker for MPI requirements. Installation is arranged with your local contractor or separately agreed with our team.
