Testimonial
As the development manager for Coles Queensland, I have worked with Peter and John from DFS Group for the past three years on two iconic projects. I enjoy working with the team and find them very reliable, capable and communicative about all options and possibilities relating to every step of the process. Thanks to their years of experience and in-depth knowledge, I have no hesitation in recommending them. I look forward to working with them on future stages of our projects.

Kari and her team assisted us in preparing and submitting our application for a liquor licence for our new restaurant.  In every task involved, Kari and her team had the answer and the know-how to expedite the process. For this knowledge alone, we would recommend Kari to anyone looking to acquire a liquor licence.

Starting with our project brief, Greg Thomas and his team developed a distinctive and responsive streetscape plan. This plan will play a pivotal role in the liveability and marketability of a new boutique residential precinct at Coolum, Greens Vista Place. A job well done and with great professionalism and insight.
