Servicing Australia Since

Most commercial fitouts go over budget. Most run late. Most don’t have to.

The construction is done. The certificate of occupancy is in sight. The launch date is locked in. And then everything that wasn’t anyone’s specific responsibility lands all at once — fire system commissioning, access control programming, AV configuration, FF&E delivery, compliance documentation, vendor inductions, staff onboarding.
Each of those things has a specialist who does their bit. Almost nobody is responsible for making sure all of them land at the same time, in the right order, before you cut the ribbon.

Without independent
oversight,
you can expect:

That’s what new facility setup coordination
prevents.

Cost variations

that surface only after work has started

Schedule slippage

as trades and approvals fall out of sequence.

Defects at handover

that take weeks to resolve while you’re trying to operate.

Compliance gaps

that delay your occupancy certificate.

Hours of your time

lost to managing trades instead of running the business.

We work for you — not the builder.

Hive Property Solutions provides independent commercial fitout coordination and oversight across Australia.

That means we sit on your side of the table. We’re not the builder, we’re not the designer — we’re the team that makes sure they all deliver what they promised, on the timeline you signed up to, at the price you agreed to pay.

What We Do

Manage scope, contractors,
and approvals

as a single point of accountability.

Track every variation and milestone

with transparent reporting you actually understand.

Inspect quality and
compliance independently

throughout the build — not just at the end.

Coordinate handover

so you walk into a space that’s actually ready to operate from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our services

  • 01 How is this different from hiring a project manager?

    Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
