A café fit-out delivered a week ahead of a four-week schedule. The project that shifted our business from residential into commercial fit-outs, and the build we're still proudest of.
A full hospitality fit-out delivered through night works so the client kept trading. New gas connection, a custom dual-temp cool room, and a brand-new commercial kitchen built upstairs. We engineered a custom refrigeration layout to squeeze more cold storage into a tight footprint, and the switch from electric to gas tackled the venue's rising energy costs head-on. Appliances supplied in-house, rare for a fit-out contractor.
Two things separate a fit-out that lasts ten years from one that looks tired in two: the millimetres you don't notice, and the suppliers behind every piece in the room. We obsess over both.
Most fit-outs are judged from across the room. Ours hold up at arm's length. A 10mm brass reveal between green panel and white tile. Mitred mouldings that meet without a gap. A timber order rail mortised into a marble nose so nothing sits proud.
Nothing here is decorative. Every line is the consequence of a tradesperson taking the time to set out, scribe, and finish, instead of caulk-and-move-on.
These bistro tables and Parisian-weave chairs were made for Créma-Lane, green and gold to the brand, logo enamelled into the top, weight matched to the footpath grade.
Years of work means real relationships with joiners, metal fabricators, weavers, stone yards and lighting houses across Sydney and overseas. We co-design with them, prototype, and revise, so what arrives on site is the thing the brand needed, not the closest thing in stock.
Most fit-out contractors stop at the building. We don't. Years of working in hospitality means real relationships with commercial kitchen equipment suppliers; combi ovens, refrigeration, espresso, dishwash, fabricated stainless. We spec it, supply it, install it, commission it.
And we're a SilverChef Partner, so when capital is tight on day one, we structure your equipment package through their Rent-Try-Buy finance. You open without tying up cash on stoves.
We build functional, compliant commercial spaces that work hard for your business every day — from first service to the next ten years.
"Working with Josh and the Devali team was amazing. They delivered our café fit-out a week ahead of schedule in just 4 weeks, with experienced, trustworthy trades who took real pride in their work. The team was organised, presentable, and easy to deal with from start to finish, the final result speaks for itself."
"The Devali team were outstanding from day one. They managed full night works to keep us operating, delivered everything with precision, and even supplied all the appliances, which is rare for a fit-out contractor. Their organisation, communication, and attention to detail made the whole process smooth and stress free."
We started as builder's labourers and worked our way through leading hands, site supervisors, foremen and project managers, before launching Devali.
