Description

ABOUT HALLMARC Hallmarc National Projects is an Australia-wide, end-to-end turnkey fitout company with over 22 years of building industry experience. Founded by Marcus Hall in 2016, we deliver fitouts across three core sectors – Retail, Hospitality and Commercial – with in-house joinery manufacturing on the Gold Coast (located at Arundel and Wongawallen) and a trusted network of specialist trade partners nationwide. Our in-house factory is a core competitive advantage. It gives us quality control, speed and manufacturing flexibility that competitors who outsource joinery simply can't match. Every retail fixture, joinery component and bespoke fitout element that comes out of our factory reflects the standard our clients expect – and that standard starts on the factory floor. Our clients include Just Group (1,000+ stores over 15 years), TAB, Zambrero, Industry, Vodafone, and many more. We hold shopfitting licences in VIC, QLD, SA, WA and ACT. 'Spaces to be remembered.'
