At SDD we have been helping local businesses and home owners expand and renovate their properties for over 30 years. We specialise in taking your desires and turning them into practical and creative plans. Getting the right plans means your builder can give you an

WHICH PRINTER?
LOW PRICE -
Fewer Prints per Cartridge If you buy a very low cost printer you will only save money if you don’t use the printer frequently. However these printers require up to 3 or 4 times as many cartridges for the same number of prints. Over the life of the printer this will end up costing hundreds of dollars more.
HIGHER PRICE -
More Prints per Cartridge A printer with a higher price point will often have cartridges that will last much longer and give you a much larger number of prints. If you use a large volume of prints spending more initially will pay off in the long term.
At Cartridge World we will help you find the printer and the cartridges that will not only save you money but give you the best quality and return on your investment.

EPIC ASSIST STRATHPINE:
Fire Compliance in Industrial and Commercial Buildings Fire compliance in Queensland is unique because it is under the Building Code therefore it has an impact across a number of other legislative instruments. The Regulations differ across a range of areas including zoning, certification, size, purpose, construction materials, date of construction, location and occupancy status. A major factor in achieving compliance is understanding, “whom” is responsible for “what”, in regards to Fire Emergency and Evacuation Management. Julie Russell from Athogroup has over 20 years’ experience in this area and can demystify this compliance maze for businesses in the Brendale Business District. The AthoGroup FEEM services include: • Workplace reviews & audits • Systems design, development & implementation • Facilitation of meetings internally and with external stakeholders

YOUR FAMILY. YOUR BUSINESS. YOUR FUTURE
FAMILY BUSINESSES Matter for Brendale Business District
The Brendale Business District has approximately 800 businesses of which nearly 400 are family businesses. This raises the question of “Do you have a family business continuity plan?” A family business continuity plan encompasses all past, current and future generations by capturing the core values and legacy of the family. This plan is far more than a “succession plan” or an “estate plan” because it is the road map for all family members. Lloyd Russell of TCB Solutions is a 4th generation family business member, an internationally accredited family business advisor through Family Business Australia and an accredited / licensed neuroscience practitioner. His clients include manufacturing, building and construction service, warehousing, wholesalers and logistic providers

INSURANCE
WE HAVE BRENDALE COVERED We often hear business owners say “Insurance companies are all the same. You pay too much for Insurance, but when it comes to paying a claim they’re so difficult to deal with”. If you feel the same way, Insurance Web can offer you an alternative. There are important questions you should ask when assessing what you want out of your Insurance company: 1) Is the product correct for you, delivering the best available cover for your industry and circumstances?
Over the last 9 years, Insurance Web have established a proven track record in Brendale. We always conduct an obligation free “Needs Analysis” before we quote. This is essential in helping you make the best choice that will minimise your risk and give you the best value for money. Jason Matthey has ‘Brendale covered’ and his hands on approach and excellent advice is matched by his passion and commitment to developing long term relationships with his clients.
2) Are you getting personal service from an experienced local professional who you can call whenever you need help or advice? Someone who is on your side when you need to claim? 3) Does your Insurance Company offer a comprehensive ‘Needs Analysis’ so you only pay for what you need and nothing else? Daniel Burgess from Eastcoast Electroplating with Jason Matthey from Insurance Web.

Get your Caravan weighed before your next trip
Why weigh your caravan? Up to 70% of caravans on Queensland roads are overweight and yours could be one of them. If you are in any doubt, you should have your caravan weighed at Weigh to Go. One of the leading causes of caravan related road accidents is due to overweight caravans. An overweight caravan will also cost your hip pocket. Police can enforce hefty fines between $600 and $1,500 if you are caught with an overweight caravan at a mobile
weigh station. That’s not all, in addition to the fine you could lose up to 4 points off your driving licence and void your insurance.
For only $110 Weigh to Go will weigh your Caravan and vehicle and provide a complete and comprehensive report on whether your caravan is road legal.
