OUR STORY
The company was formed in 2006, by two brothers, Paul and Mark Glover and
was called Focus Commercial Interiors.
The company focused on internal linings, joinery and carpentry. In 2012,
and due to continued success, the brothers changed the name to Focus Fitout Specialists.
Mark and Paul had expanded the business to offer their clients a complete
fitout experience and a new name was required to reflect this business evolution.
As part of the next growth phase, Todd Dunlop was brought in as Managing Director
and 100% shareholder in 2021. Todd brings 20-plus years of experience, delivering projects for Tier 1 and Tier 2 builders in Brisbane, Melbourne and internationally. Todd also holds his open builder’s license, which allowed the company to expand its offerings to our clients.
Focus Construct is now able to offer our clients a complete building experience from new build construction, fitouts and refurbishments.
As part of this recent evolution came the name change and rebrand to FOCUS CONSTRUCT.
The new brand focuses on collaboration and joining forces to build on Focus’ reputation as a builder that delivers with a solution based approach, while collaborating
with clients and making best for project decisions
