Lunchroom Upgrades: Staff Lunchroom Refurbishments for Brisbane Workplaces
If you have a workplace lunchroom everyone avoids, then prepare to be triggered. The chairs don’t match, the microwave is older than the first apprentice's apprentice, and the fridge only gets cleaned out when someone finally complains.
Our own break room guide put it best. No one enjoys their break in a plain room with nothing on the wall but an evacuation poster.
Your team notice what you spend on their space, and they notice what you don’t!
Why the Lunchroom Might Be the Best Money You Spend This Year
Few things are more demoralising for employees than a lack of decent workplace facilities. That line comes from our industrial break room guide, and years of lunchroom fit-outs around Brisbane have only proved it right.
Proper breaks sharpen concentration and lift the mood of the whole team, and the room itself decides whether real breaks happen at all. The good news is that a lunchroom refurbishment is a contained job. It’s cabinetry and services in one room, so it moves fast and doesn’t drag the rest of the workplace into a renovation. Our family at Fast Fitouts has been doing them for Brisbane workplaces for years.
What a Lunchroom Refit Covers
A Typical Lunchroom Refurbishment Includes:
- Kitchenette Cabinetry: Built in our own workshop with plenty of storage for a busy team.
- Benchtops & Splashbacks: Hard-wearing finishes that stand up to a workplace kitchen.
- Plumbing & Electrical: New points right where the appliances go.
- Fresh Flooring: Planked vinyl that handles spills and foot traffic without complaint.
- Air Conditioning: A split system, because a hot lunchroom is an empty one.
- Cafe-Style Furniture: Tables and chairs that can be reshuffled as the team grows.
Lunchrooms We’ve Rebuilt for Queensland Workplaces
When building products manufacturer Siniat asked us to upgrade the staff lunchrooms in their 25-year-old Brisbane facility, the rooms were dated, and everyone knew it. The fresh kitchenettes that now greet staff are packed with features and storage, with new electrical and plumbing behind them and split-system air conditioning on the wall. The result is clean and inviting, and the team loves using it.
Liberty Wealth Group’s East Brisbane fitout included a functional kitchenette with ample storage and modern fittings as part of the wider joinery package. Same workshop and same care, in a smaller room.
The Lunchroom We Built Out of Shipping Containers
Shadforth Civil asked for something different. They wanted shipping containers reworked into a working kitchen and lunchroom for their Brisbane civil construction office.
We ran our design process over the containers and turned them into a proper kitchen and break space, with the same finishes we’d put into an office. Field workers and office staff share the rooms, which was the whole point. Everyone gets a decent place to take a break, no matter their job title.
It was a fun challenge for our team, and the finished result speaks for itself!
Lunchroom Refurbishment Questions We Get Asked
How long does a lunchroom refurbishment take?
We build the cabinetry in our workshop before we start onsite, so the room is out of action for a short window and your team are back at the table before they know it.
Can you refit a lunchroom while we keep working?
Yes. We stage the noisy work around your hours wherever we can, and we keep you in the loop every step of the way.
Our building is old. Is that a problem?
The Siniat facility was 25 years old and needed new plumbing and electrical to suit the layout. We mostly work on older buildings.
Do you work outside Brisbane?
We refurbish lunchrooms across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and south-east Queensland.
