23.01.2022 SILICONE WORK Do you have to re-silicone the bath tub, shower or kitchen sink but not sure where to begin? The first step is a good quality kitchen and bathroom silicone with mould inhibitors. Normal roof and gutter or general purpose silicone just wont last and will most likely discolour and grow mould. Another tip is in order to get the best finish try spraying the silicone once applied with soapy water to allow you to work it with your finger and not have it stick Give...

18.01.2022 Our top renovating tip for today is.... Know your Budget Sounds simple enough doesn't it? However it's not as simple as just knowing how much money you have to spend, but rather understanding what can be achieved with that dollar value. How do you gain this understanding? With good communication and being open about your budget with your builder right from the very beginning. This will avoid any confusion about the work to be carried out and the desired finished product. #toowoombabuilder #toowoombareno #somerfieldconstructions #somcon #renovatingtoptip #toowoombalocal #toowoombabusiness

18.01.2022 Are you renovating or building? Or looking to in the near future? Here's some information you might not have known about regarding smoke alarm legislation in Queensland. We have put some of the information available to you from the QFES website into the graphic below, but please visit the link below to find out all the relevant information in full detail. (Please also note that smoke alarm rules apply to everyone- we have just targeted this post to our audience of ...people who are renovating or building, and the specific rules that apply to them. To find out the rules that are applicable to you, please follow the link below.) https://www.qfes.qld.gov.au//smokealarms/Pages/default.aspx

18.01.2022 ARE YOU AND YOUR BUILDER ON THE SAME PAGE??? Getting your quote to be the most accurate it can be for achieving what you want out of your renovation is as important to us as it is to you. It all comes down to good communication between yourself and your builder at the planning stage of a renovation. We've put together a list of the top 5 tips on how to work together with your builder to achieve this:... 1. Know your style and finish quality 2. Know your budget 3. Be realistic with what can be achieved in your space 4. Have a rough idea of the style and costs of fixtures and fittings for your project 5. Be open and willing to explore options should your absolute desires not work within your budget. Always remembering that if your quote is not the ideal number you had in mind, we can always work through other options with you to make sure you achieve a renovation that you are happy with and was achievable in terms of your budget. Give Chris a call today on 0417463095 to discuss a quote for your renovation.

17.01.2022 Can you guess which iconic Toowoomba business this floor belongs to??? It recently needed some well-earned maintenance as it has seen many a night with very heavy foot traffic...(and maybe a spilt drink or 2) So we came to the rescue to give some restoration to the deteriorated timber work. It is now good to go for the party season!

17.01.2022 MEET THE TEAM Introducing.....DYLAN!!! We wish to officially welcome our newest member of the SomCon team, Dylan! ... Dylan has just finished up year 12 and wants to pursue a career in construction. He has commenced his carpentry apprenticeship with us and we are excited to see what his future here with the team brings! #toowoombabuilder #toowoombareno #toowoombalocal #toowoombabusiness

16.01.2022 HAPPY MELBOURNE CUP DAY 2020 We hope everyone has the chance to stop and enjoy the race today, maybe even some of you having a flutter on the big race might have a spot of luck

15.01.2022 A little bit about our journey... Give Chris a call on 0417463095 or check out our new website at www.somcon.com.au

14.01.2022 MEET THE TEAM Hi, I'm Emma, I am married to Chris and started working with him in 2016 after having our first child. I was naïve and thought I could get heaps of the office work done for him with a baby at home.... Ha!....Cue daycare! Now 4 years on and I am in a steady routine in my role of office administrator and enjoy what I do. It's a rewarding feeling working alongside Chris to help build on what he started and together alongside our growing team we are proud... of our achievements. My previous work was a little different, working as a Pharmacy Assistant for 11 years, however it gave me many skills I have brought along to this role, including customer service and some management skills just to name a few. As far as hobbies and interests are concerned, I don't have time!! haha, with 2 small children running around to keep up with, spare time is very hard to come by, but I wouldn't have it any other way

13.01.2022 FITZY'S PROJECT If you have been past the front of Fitzy's Toowoomba since the start of the year you might have noticed some changes are happening.... We are so proud to be part of this exciting project for our favourite Toowoomba pub, and not to mention repeat clients. Big changes are happening behind these frosted windows, stay tuned for more updates to come!

12.01.2022 INSULATION EXPLAINED R1.5 ...... R3.5 ...... Fibreglass ..... Polyester ..... Roof blankets ..... Sisilation paper ... Confused yet? These are all forms of insulation. Insulation is measured and quantified in R values. A fibreglass R1.5 batt and a fibreglass R3.5 batt are essentially the same material but the 3.5 is thicker and has the capacity to expand more therefore offers a larger R value. Essentially R1.5 would be a wall batt and say a 3.5 would be a ceiling batt. "Can I put a R3.5 batt in my walls? That would be better right?" In theory yes, but in reality the batt is only as good as what the wall cavity will allow it to expand to. You can achieve a higher R value in your walls if required but this will require a high density batt. Batts come in various materials from fibreglass, polyster and wool. Give Chris a call to find out more about insulation and your renovations on 0417463095.

11.01.2022 MEET THE TEAM Introducing.... MITCH Mitch has been with us since the start of 2019 and is currently completing his carpentry apprenticeship. This will be his second trade as he is also a trade-qualified roofer. It is great to have him bring that extra industry knowledge to the team. Mitch is continually impressing us with how far he has come and it is clear to see he has a passion for his job through his great attitude.... Mitch is a busy dad, so doesn't have a lot of spare time these days, but does enjoy camping and four-wheel driving when the opportunity arises.

11.01.2022 There is one room we have yet to talk about in any of our info posts.....Any guesses as to which room??? THE TOILET!!! Yes, a very important and necessary part of every home. But what can we tell you about it? It's just a toilet, they're all the same right?? ... Wrong! P trap S trap Close coupled Back to wall There are many different types of toilets to choose from, each with their own features, benefits and of course, price differences. The style of trap is where the main pipe extends from. We find with the majority of our clients that back to wall toilet suites are very popular. Whilst they may cost a little more they are far easier to keep clean as well as hiding the majority of the lower pipework. Why not give Chris a call to discuss the toilet options for your next project on 0417463095.

09.01.2022 Our friends at Colliers International Toowoomba were showing their festive spirit with this lovely hamper given to us today!

01.01.2022 Yesterday the boys went along to Taylor Safety Equipment and had their 12 monthly fit tests for their respirator masks with SureFit Services Pty Ltd. It is important that these masks fit properly as they provide protection against silica and general dust inhalation. We like to make sure we have ticked all the boxes when it comes to PPE so we would like to say a big thanks to these guys for making it convenient and easy to have the test.
