Commercial design and build solutions for commercial refurbishments.
We’ll provide seamless hospitality and commercial design and build solutions that deliver timely, cost-effective solutions with minimal disruption to your operations.
Expert Hospitality and Commercial Design and Build Services
We know the challenges that property managers face when trying to manage complex refurbishment projects. From relying on external architects with no hands-on construction experience to juggling engineers and consultants, many projects run over budget and behind schedule. That’s where we come in—our in-house team ensures your project runs smoothly from start to finish.
We specialise in design and build services for clients with large commercial property portfolios, focusing on renovations and additions that transform your spaces without the need for a full rebuild. Whether you’re managing hotels, clubs, or other commercial properties, our in-house team of graduates of architecture and skilled tradespeople deliver tailored solutions that meet your budget and exceed expectations.
We don’t just design spaces—we build them, too. Our unique Design and Build approach mean your entire project is handled by one team, from concept to completion. Our architectural desingers don’t just design on paper. They’re part of the construction team, giving them practical, hands-on experience. They understand what it takes to build the designs they create, ensuring that all plans are not only visually stunning but also feasible and cost-effective.
Since our designers work within your budget from day one, we design practical, buildable spaces that avoid costly surprises during construction. This level of coordination means we can control lead times and costs more effectively than competitors who rely on external architects and subcontracted trades.
With our project designers working directly alongside our tradespeople throughout the project, we eliminate the miscommunications that often happen when external designers are involved. The result? Fewer delays, better cost control, and a smoother overall process.

Our Design and Build Services Include
Preliminary Concepts and Budgets
We understand that having a design concept that aligns with your budget is critical to the success of your project. That’s why we start with preliminary concepts and budget planning, ensuring that your vision is achievable without overspending. Our architectural graduates work closely with you to define the scope, create design concepts, and develop a budget that meets your financial goals.
With our design and build process, we don’t just design what looks good—we design what’s buildable and within your budget, avoiding costly surprises and keeping your project on track from day one.
Tailored Hospitality and Commercial Design
Our hospitality design and build services are tailored to the unique demands of hotels, clubs, and other commercial venues. We start with a comprehensive consultation to understand your specific needs, whether it’s modernising guest rooms, adding a function space, or upgrading your facilities to enhance customer experience.
Our in-house architectural graduates then create detailed designs that balance aesthetics, functionality, and cost-efficiency. Throughout the process, they collaborate directly with our construction team to ensure every element of the design is both practical and buildable—no unrealistic plans or unforeseen costs.
3D Rendering
We know that not everyone can visualise spaces from traditional architectural plans. That’s why we offer 3D rendering as part of our design process. Our 3D models allow you to see exactly how the finished project will look before construction begins, helping you make informed decisions and adjustments early in the process.
Whether it’s a sports bar conversion, club renovation, or office fit out, 3D rendering brings your project to life, so you can see the impact of our design in real time.
Hands-On Architectural Involvement
Our architectural designers don’t just design and leave the rest to contractors—they stay involved throughout the construction phase, working on-site with the tradespeople to ensure their designs come to life as intended. This level of collaboration ensures fewer surprises, more efficient problem-solving, and a quicker response to any on-site challenges.
Through being part of the construction team, our architectural graduates ensure that their designs are not only visionary but also buildable within your budget and timeframe. This involvement is a key differentiator that gives you confidence in both the design and execution of your project.
Complete Project Management
We take care of your renovation or addition from start to finish, coordinating all aspects of the project so you don’t have to juggle multiple contractors or worry about miscommunications. From securing permits to handling logistics and coordinating trades, we ensure everything runs smoothly.
With our commercial design and build expertise, we can manage even the most complex renovation projects with ease. You’ll benefit from streamlined communication, better budget control, and faster project completion.
Our Work
The Walrus Club
Venue design and fit-out | Brisbane
Located in the basement of Brisbane’s Regatta Hotel this venue was inundated by flood water in February ’22 floods. As the water subsided Core4 were ready to pump out the water and empty the entire venue. Unfortunately for the hotel, above this, included a lot of infrastructure, including a large keg room. Once again, the race was on to redesign the venue and fill it with thirsty cocktail lovers.
Lulu Rooftop Bar
Venue design and fit-out | Surfers Paradise
Core4 recently had the privilege of collaborating with our long-standing client, Australian Venue Co., on an exciting new project—Lulu Rooftop Bar. This venture was a full design and build collaboration, showcasing the best of what Core4 has to offer. With no existing customers to work around, we were able to focus on delivering the project swiftly, ensuring a quick opening for this vibrant new venue.
Browns Plains Hotel
Venue design and refurbishment | Brisbane
This marks yet another successful collaboration with our valued client, Australian Venue Co. Our latest project involved a comprehensive rebranding effort and a complete makeover for their bustling venue. This was executed as a turnkey project, where we established budgets, tailored the design to fit within those financial constraints, and executed the project seamlessly, not only meeting but also coming in under budget.
