Waaaaay too slow to quote. They should just tell you up front that they won't have time to even look at your job if you aren't a big player. Don't bother- take my advice and get something made in Brisbane and transport it up- quicker and cheaper.

Good fast service, they'll bend over backwards to get you job done on time. They're not cheap, but there is a word that goes with cheap and that nasty.
