“We had a fantastic experience working with Mark and the team at Chill Merchants.
They installed a large air con system in our workshop and office where several high temp machines run all day. These ducted units are big and heavy, and I wanted experienced tradesmen doing the job, and that's what we got.”

“Chill Merchants were engaged by Bryant Building Contractors to deliver the mechanical services package at Bryant’s recently completed, Energy Queensland Esitrain Redevelopment project and performed strongly from pre-tender until completion.
Their team completed all contracted works competently, efficiently, and in full accordance with project drawings and specifications. Communication was clear, site coordination was smooth, and their commitment to meeting program deadlines was evident throughout the build. Chill Merchants' professionalism and reliability contributed to a seamless delivery, and Bryant will actively seek their services for future projects.”

“Chill Merchants have completed a number of projects for us over the last 18 Months spanning minors works and duct work reconfiguration through to complete turn key commercial HVAC system installations.
Their communication, professionalism and trade knowledge is excellent. The transparency through the initial design and consultation process has helped to develop some great solutions to some very challenging problems. The installation team are extremely flexible, very thorough and produce high quality work. They turn up when they say they will and deal with onsite installation issues very quickly and with a minimum of fuss.
I would highly recommend Mark and the Chill Merchants Team to anyone.”

Common questions about working with Chill Merchants across Brisbane and South East Queensland.
Chill Merchants has delivered mechanical works within Australian Defence Force environments across South East Queensland, including projects operating out of bases such as Enoggera and associated defence facilities.
Defence sites operate differently to standard commercial environments. Access, reporting, supervision, and documentation are structured and non-negotiable.
We understand that these projects require a higher level of discipline, from how we communicate to how we present on site.
Defence environments demand professionalism. We operate accordingly.
Security is a core part of defence projects.
Personnel operate under approved access procedures and site inductions. Where required, security clearances are obtained and maintained in line with site requirements.
Vehicles are presented professionally. Equipment is secured. Tools are accounted for. Conduct is controlled.
Our team understands that behaviour, presentation, and discipline reflect not only on our company, but on the head contractor and the facility itself.
On defence sites, standards are higher, and we meet them.
Defence mechanical works typically operate under strict technical specifications in addition to NCC and relevant Australian Standards.
Plant selection, ventilation design, exhaust discharge, and commissioning are aligned with project documentation and site-specific requirements.
Where certification is required within our licensing scope, Form 15 and Form 12 documentation is issued appropriately, with consultant coordination where necessary.
Compliance in defence environments must be structured, documented, and traceable.
Yes, and planning is critical.
Major plant replacements, ventilation upgrades, and infrastructure modifications are often completed within controlled shutdown windows.
Large commercial plant can involve extended lead times, coordinated crane lifts, and staged commissioning. Defence facilities require upgrades to be executed cleanly and without disruption to operational capability.
There is little room for error in these environments. Preparation and supervision are key.
Because we understand the standard expected.
We operate under appropriate QBCC mechanical licensing, electrical contractor licensing, and refrigeration licensing. Our trades are qualified, supervised, and accountable.
From apprentices through to supervisors and project managers, our team operates with discipline and pride. Presentation matters. Conduct matters. Delivery matters.
Defence environments require contractors who stay steady, professional, and reliable. That’s how we operate.
If you have any questions about our services, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
We’re always happy to help!
