INTRIM MOULDING

Why savvy decision makers are choosing timber mouldings from Intrim

Australian consumers are becoming more product and style savvy as they follow influencers, watch endless home design shows and spend hours trawling Pinterest and Instagram keeping up with the latest trends. It is no wonder that building companies are having to offer more flexible options on the finishes schedules for style enhancements such as on trend skirting, architraves and wall panel treatments from Wainscotting, VJ or lining boards to satisfy the changing demand. This is why builders are turning to Intrim Mouldings, the leading Australian Timber Moulding specialists. With more than 25 years’ experience and more than 825 skirting boards, architrave, chair rail, wall paneling and other timber profiles, Intrim are experts in helping create spectacular interiors for their clients. “The Intrim vision is to have a part in every one of their clients’ truly magnificent building projects by providing them with a unique product to help them achieve their goal of making their interiors a timeless masterpiece. Our clients range from top tier interior designers and architects to luxury and custom home builders and home renovators, each one being just as important to us as the other,” managing director Fred Quinsey said. Intrim is rapidly evolving and continues to invest in state-of-the-art machinery and processes to provide fast and high-quality timber mouldings. With displays and people on the ground in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane they already supply nationwide, with guaranteed five days from order to dispatch for unprimed, and seven days for primed profiles. “Our products are delivered on site when you need them, as we understand meeting your deadlines is of utmost importance,” Fred said. Intrim offer a range of material options so suit the different markets around Australia, from FSC certified responsibly sourced Finger Joined Pine to MDF. “We offer a high-quality primed finish on all of our mouldings which will save your fixout and painting team’s time on site. We also recently launched Fast Trim which is a revolutionary pre-scribed skirting and pre-mitred architraves system available on all our profiles. It’s a game changer for builders who are under time and resource pressure, as they can save an additional 40-55% of the fix out time. That’s some serious time and cost saving,” Fred said. Intrim also help consumers looking to renovate find a preferred installer, through the Preferred partner program listing these companies on their website. It makes it easier to connect consumers and trades who specialise in working with Intrim Timber Mouldings. Committed to customer satisfaction, Intrim recently implemented the Trustpilot reviews platform asking every customer how they went. Fred said “we felt it was important to give our customers the opportunity to easily provide us feedback, so we can continue to improve. Our team thrive on hearing from our clients and the great experiences they have with us and our products”. Consumers and designers love the complimentary samples offered by Intrim via the website. They are available for most profiles so you have something tangible to visualise on your Vision Board to ensure you pick the right profile to suit your project. Fred finished by saying “experience the Intrim difference for yourself, we look forward to working with you on your next project”.

Championing for change

Multiplex is committed to having a workforce that reflects the diversity of the global communities in which it operates and a consistent culture of respect and inclusion. We foster an inclusive and flexible workplace where all employees are valued, encouraged to express their ideas and opinions and able to reach their full potential. Tackling gender inequality is a vital part of this. We know one of the ways we can promote gender diversity in our business and industry is to encourage more young women to consider a career in construction. So one of our focus areas is to educate school age females about our industry and the diverse and satisfying career paths it offers. Our Jump Start mentoring program was designed to do just this. Jump Start was developed by a group of young Multiplex women on one of our projects. They had recently faced making a decision about their careers and felt they would have benefited at the time from more information on the construction industry. They drew on their own experiences and decided to assist local school students by informing them about the opportunities in the built environment. The program they developed aims to give these students a deeper understanding of what the built environment has to offer and provide first-hand advice about what a day in the life of a construction professional is like. It includes interactive workshops, panel discussions, site walks and informative mentoring sessions. The Jump Start program achieved a NAWIC Innovation Award in 2019 and since then has been rolled out on many more of our sites. We look forward to continuing to building on the success of the Jump Start program and help more young women to make informed choices about a possible career in construction.
