About Us

A systematic approach plus attention to detail

Completing a comprehensive renovation project in a demanding time frame, with no unwelcome surprises,
calls for complete professionalism.

Future Trade has built its reputation serving the retirement village sector, where units must be regularly refurbished to meet the expectations of residents who are investing in quality of life.
We understand the need for interiors that are sold ‘as new’ and renovated to meet the individual needs of residents.
 

We’ve built a strong team

Reuben Shirtcliffe leads the Future Trade team. A builder since 2003, Reuben served his apprenticeship with a respected residential builder who instilled excellence. After completing his apprenticeship, Reuben worked in a commercial construction firm, during which he learned the requirements of corporate customers. The project management and reporting skills he acquired have stood him in good stead ever since.

Reuben has put together a skilled team to ensure accountability. With cabinetry, joinery and other essential trades in-house, Future Trade can deliver your fit-out with no need to contract out key elements.

All our projects benefit from the skills of qualified carpenters working on site, and all our staff are certified for Site Safe and Height & Harness standards.

Systems and assurance

Future Trade is a Licensed Building Practitioner, qualified to undertake consented works. For additional assurance we are Certified Builders.

Our approach is built on efficient project management and clear communication. We will work hard to deliver the quality you need within a rigorous timeframe.

Reuben provides hands-on management with regular site visits, plus a commitment to keeping clients in the loop at all times.

We believe your renovation should meet the same standards as a new build – and we have the capability to ensure this.

Delivery beyond the norm

Future Trade Building Solutions Greenlane Project

We relish the challenges that other builders shy away from.

Awkward sites, difficult access, tight timeframes and the need to work around residents in situ – these are all par for the course.

With our experience in managing complex commercial renovations, we are ideally equipped to schedule and complete a smoothly run project.
