What's important to SHAPE Brisbane

For more than 25 years, we have worked closely with leading commercial, hotel, government, Defence, hospitality, healthcare, and education clients throughout the greater Brisbane area and Queensland. One thing that sets us apart is our people – our constructive culture is contagious, and we ensure our clients, subcontractors, and suppliers experience this on every project. We develop genuine relationships, not just fulfil contracts. Our team has diverse experience across a wide range of building types, including high-end fitouts, complex refurbishments, new-build and facade replacements. We share knowledge and skills across projects, which when combined with our passion for improving our region, enables us to provide unique, creative, and local solutions to each of our clients. Our team is also committed to making positive impacts in our community, so we focus on a number of important CSR initiatives in the area.
