Clubs, pub groups and retail brands commit fitout work months before a tender list exists. I find it, work out who actually lets the package, and hand it to you while the field is still open. Three groups free to start. And if you want the meetings booked as well, you pay only for meetings that happen.
They're excellent, right up until the quarter they go quiet. Meanwhile the groups actually commissioning fitouts are reachable months earlier than the tender, and in my conversations with them almost nobody in this trade has made the approach.
Work arrives through relationships and tenders. Both are reactive, and both put you in a price fight against firms you've never met.
National brands publish rollout programmes months ahead. Packages are awarded long before a tender ever reaches you.
Reaching a club chief executive takes a phone call and a reason to ring. The door isn't locked. Most firms simply never walk up to it.
A sample of what's publicly announced for the next twelve months. Every line is fitout work that will be awarded to somebody.

Cordell and BCI both track Australian projects from the concept stage onward, and their own published definitions say so. I am not going to tell you they cannot see this work. The gap is not visibility, it is what happens next. A database row tells you a project exists. It does not tell you what the board actually resolved, how the members voted, whether the CEO is under pressure to move before the consent lapses, or which of the names on that row is the one who lets the fitout package. That is the work I do, and then I put you in the room. If you already subscribe to Cordell or BCI, bring me a row and I will tell you what is behind it.

The work is in knowing where to look and who to ask for.
Two extracts from two different maps — a New South Wales clubs map and a Victorian retail and hospitality map — because the method holds across sectors. Built from planning determinations, members' resolutions, annual reports and company announcements. Contact names are withheld here for obvious reasons. Yours arrives inside forty eight hours, built to your state, your sector and your capacity, with the names in.
The clubs and groups in your state and sector with work committed, with values, stage and timing. Subscribers get it alive: re‑verified weekly, with a Monday brief of what moved.
The person who lets the fitout package at each group, named where that role exists. Where it does not, who actually decides instead and how that call gets made.
Outreach written and sent in your name, so it reads like it came from you, because it did.
I work the replies and put the qualified ones straight into your calendar. Every meeting comes with a written note of who attended and what was discussed, inside one business day. No note, no invoice.
And you see every approach before it goes out. It is your name on it, so nothing is sent that you have not read.
Three steps, in order. No lock‑in, no setup fee, no retainer until you've seen what lands.
| Rev | Item | Description | Rate (AUD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Pipeline Map | Best for — a first look at your patchThirty or more organisations across eight sheets, the live ones and the ones I checked and ruled out: values, stage, timing, who lets the package at each one — named where that role exists and explained where it does not — with a dated public source behind every row, and who you are up against. Yours to act on with or without me. A snapshot, sold once — it does not hold your territory. Subscribe to the Living Map within 30 days and your first month is included.Delivered inside 48 hoursIf it does not name at least three groups you were not already aware of, do not pay for it. | $1,950One off |
| B | The Living Map | Best for — holding your patch month after monthThe map, kept alive. Re‑verified continuously, a Movement Brief every Monday morning with what moved, what is new and your three calls for the week, same‑day alerts when a builder collapses or a club goes to market, your pursuit register maintained — and your territory held exclusively while you subscribe. A subscription keeps a map current, so it starts with the map build above: that is why your first month is included with it.30 days' notice either way | $495Per month |
| C | Qualified Meeting | Best for — subscribers who want introductions without a retainerNamed decision maker, confirmed interest, booked directly into your calendar. You pay only for meetings that actually happen. Available to Living Map subscribers.No minimum term | $750Per meeting |
| D | Monthly Retainer | Best for — firms with no one chasing new work full time. The fully managed routeEverything in the Living Map, plus outreach in your name and a target of four qualified meetings a month, with monthly reporting on everything in flight. The initial map build is included in your first month, so there is nothing to buy first.30 days' notice either way | $4,500Per month |
While you hold the Living Map or the retainer for your territory and sector, I will not work for a competing firm there. Not a map, not a meeting, nothing. It is not a sales tactic — I cannot approach the same club on behalf of two rivals, so a territory genuinely closes when it is taken, and it reopens the day its holder stops subscribing. Ask on the first call and I will tell you straight whether yours is open.
Tell me your state and the kind of work you want more of. I will come back the same working day with three groups you are not talking to, named. No charge, no obligation, and no follow up unless you ask for one. Already sure? Order from the same form and the map is in your inbox inside forty eight hours.
I've spent twenty years in commercial sales and business development, and I already work inside the Australian construction supply chain — on architectural lighting specification with architects, interior designers and builders across New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland.
That's the reason this works. I know the difference between a shopfit rollout and a base build tender, I know how a package gets awarded, and the outreach reflects it. You will be dealing with me directly, not an account manager.
A fair question at this point is who else I have done this for. The honest answer is that Fitout Pipeline is new, which is exactly why territory is still open. So the first thing I will do is build you a map you can act on whether we ever work together or not. Judge the work, not the letterhead.
