“Good design is a renaissance attitude”

Good design is a renaissance attitude that combines technology, cognitive science, human need, and beauty to produce something that the world didn't know it was missing.

Paola Antonelli

“A profound design process”

A profound design process eventually makes the patron, the architect, and every occasional visitor in the building a slightly better human being.

Juhani Pallasmaa

“Worked collaboratively during the planning and design stages”

Directitude Management worked collaboratively with Woodlea, the consultant team and the café operator during the planning and design stages for the café and commercial kitchen. The technical knowledge, operational experience, professionalism and diligence provided by David Miller and his team during this phase of the project was critical to the success of the project. Directitude Management exceeded our expectations and I would happily work with them again and recommend them to others.

“Provides calculated advice on what is required to meet all of the building codes”

The team helped me through the design process by understanding my vision and communicating this with their drawings. The scale and layout of the venue was a little tricky to be able to fit in the aspects that I require, especially in the kitchen, but the knowledge of the team enabled this to happen along with providing calculated advice on what is required to meet all of the building codes. The DM team are great communicators and are completely transparent and flexible with their design and budget

“Outstanding construction & management company”

The Portsea Hotel has an excellent relationship with DM and were privileged to be in their capable and experienced hands. We find them to be an outstanding construction & management company. Directitude staff were always fully accessible to Portsea personnel to address any enquiries and to ensure complete satisfaction. Senior Management were continuously involved in the project from beginning to completion. Our hotel works were delivered to the highest of standards and we were very happy with the results. During construction works through experience and knowledge DM were able to manage trades on site to keep the project running smoothly and safely abiding by WHS to ensure safety and minimal amounts of disruption to our hotel staff and clientele which continued as a live working venue throughout.

“Directitude made our hospitality dream come true!”

Directitude management made our hospitality dream come true! We had a super ambitious vision with a very modest budget. Dave and the team bent over backwards to make our design ideas work with our budget constraints. Not only did they do this within budget, but they did it to the highest quality! They went above and beyond! Words can’t express how grateful we are to the team for making Stick It. Grill a reality for us. Professional, flexible, collaborative, great communication, honest, reliable! We highly recommended the DM team!

“Provides a service that frees us up from dealing with all of the issues”

The Directitude management team provides a service that frees us up from dealing with all of the issues surrounding the management and construction works. Tennis Australia where extremely happy with the upgrade works as Albert Reserve is used as an off-site practice venue for the Australian Open in January the works undertaken were able to provide a better experience for the players. Tennis World also received excellent feedback from customers, coaching clients, and long-term members regarding the professionalism of the upgrade works.

“Ensured the process was seamless and high-quality”

It was an absolute pleasure to work alongside David and his team at Directitude. Their passion and collaborative approach to building ensured the process was seamless and a high-end, high-quality outcome was achieved. The team had a positive, can-do attitude enabling us to work through all situations that arose on site with ease and open communication. In addition, their high level of experience in the hospitality industry ensured they were able to confidently navigate all regulatory and local council requirements. We very much look forward to working with Directitude again to bring our next project to life.

"The resulting quality is impeccable, no short-cut was taken."

Directitude are a highly competent, honest and cost effective builder who I could not recommend more highly. They joined our Good Heavens expansion project in the design stages and became an invaluable partner. Our project was particularly complex due to its CBD corner location, structural complexity, budget constraints and high expectations. Throughout the project we faced many obstacles and Directitude either had a solution or worked tirelessly to find one. Directitude have the experience, professionalism and resources to successfully achieve medium to large scale projects while still offering the hands-on, nimble, cost effective qualities of a smaller builder. They were ultra-responsive and we felt supported at every stage. The resulting quality is impeccable, no short-cut was taken. Dave and his team were incredibly easy to work with and genuinely looked after our interests. We really felt like they were on the same team, working hard to achieve the best outcome for us. They are honest, trustworthy and reliable. Testament to our belief in Directitude, we have re-engaged them to complete the second stage of the project - Springrock Public Bar.

"Wonderful and prompt communication, very high-quality and clean construction, and really lovely tradies popping in frequently to finalise the job to a top-tier standard."

We would highly recommend Directitude to anybody seeking a restaurant/cafe fit-out. Our experience with them was wonderful. We had Cam as our Site Manager and BK as our Project Manager and could not recommend them enough. Wonderful and prompt communication, very high-quality and clean construction and really lovely tradies popping in frequently to finalise the job to a top-tier standard. Thank you Directitude Team, it was wonderful to work with you, bringing our eatery vision to life!

"It has been such a testament to your company that from yourself, right down to junior labourers from Directitude, the attitude and communication has been so positive and professional the whole way through a multi-staged build over multiple years."

So great working with you and the whole team. It has been such a testament to your company that from yourself, right down to junior labourers from Directitude that the attitude and communication has been so positive and professional the whole way through a multi staged build over multiple years. That is a very hard culture to instil and maintain, you should be very proud of it.

"Directitude has demonstrated a high level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication in all projects."

Directitude has delivered several F&B fit out projects with Gurner as a head contractor. Directitude was responsible for design and construction of each and were adept at problem solving and were always prompt in addressing issues or concerns that arose during the project. Directitude has demonstrated a high level of professionalism, expertise and dedication in all projects. We have been most impressed with the ‘hands on’ approach of its management in solving design issues and delivering high quality construction outcomes. My dealings with Directitude staff and management have been excellent and collaborative throughout the delivery of both projects. Directitude are now a contractor of choice for Gurner in the specialist fit out projects and I would strongly recommend for general and high-end fit out projects.

"The attention to detail, craftsmanship, and overall finish was second to none."

Working with Directitude was an exceptional experience from start to finish. They consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism, expertise, and commitment to delivering quality results. One of the standout aspects of our collaboration was their ability to offer creative solutions to the various challenges we faced throughout the project. Whether it was adapting to design constraints or finding efficient ways to stay within budget, they approached every hurdle with a can-do attitude and innovative thinking. The attention to detail, craftsmanship, and overall finish was second to none. Directitude's ability to combine creativity with practicality, alongside their unwavering commitment to quality, makes them a standout partner in the industry.
