In 1996, with more than thirty years of practical experience in the commercial furniture industry, the directors founded ISM. Specialising in custom joinery and furniture for the Victorian commercial market, ISM, originally Interior Solution Manufacturing, was developed with our core philosophy of “Providing the solution for interiors.”. From the beginning, ISM has aimed to work in partnership with clients and suppliers to create custom joinery solutions for changing industry requirements.
As an effective and multi-skilled workgroup that encourages initiative and teamwork, ISM has grown into a strong, competitive, and profitable organisation. Within the commercial building industry, ISM has developed a reputation based on our manufacturing intelligence, accurate planning, commitment to detail, high quality, and problem-solving capabilities. ISM aims to continue its growth by creating new relationships, investing in management and production improvements, creating new products, and delivering quality project outcomes.
Design Feasibility
Can it be built? Are the materials selected right for the job? Is there a better way to get the same outcome?
How to turn jaw-dropping joinery concepts from paper into reality is our specialty. That’s why we set out teamwork with clients, architects, and builders to review and guide the design process from a ‘build-ability’ lens. Resulting in better project outcomes.
Manufacturing
We make custom joinery within a tight time frame through our efficient systems and a team of talented, highly skilled people.
Over 20 years, we have optimised our manufacturing process. Investing in our 400 sqm hi-tech manufacturing facility that keeps up with fast-paced demand. And supporting our team of over 25 qualified joiners and specialist tradespeople who know how to design, build, and finish the final product.
Value Engineering
We are always looking for ways to produce smarter designs, reduce costs, and reach the same outcomes by value engineering a project.
We continually challenge ourselves to find the most cost-effective ways to fulfill a design vision. Because we’re structured to be an agile business, at any time in the project we can respond to challenges and changes as they arise.
Installation
As the final step to delivering each project, our installers specialise in handling, fitting, and finishing our joinery on site. We have our own team of full-time installers and a network of contractors.
This enables us to install multiple large and small projects at any given time and across different states, including Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, and South Australia.
Project Management
Project management is an integral part of our business. Not only managing our own team but also communicating and coordinating with clients, builders, architects, complementary trades and specialty providers.
At ISM we are experts in managing our own joinery production alongside other trades including tiling, stone, metal fabrication, AV integration, glazing and upholstery to ensure a seamless fit and meet project deadlines. We combine our knowledge, experience & intellect to deliver every project.
