We design and build reception desks and front counters for businesses in Kiama, Gerringong, Jamberoo and Kiama Downs, from offices and clinics to shops and accommodation reception. Every desk is drawn around the staff who work behind it and the customers who approach it, then made at our Huskisson workshop and fitted as a finished piece.

A counter is what a visitor notices on arrival, so its face is where the design goes, but its shape is set by use. We allow knee room and a straight run for a seated staff member, a raised top where visitors stand, and enough length for two people to work side by side where the desk needs it.
Behind the front panel a desk needs lockable drawers, a place for the bin, shelving for forms and a clear route for every cable. All of it is drawn before manufacture, grommets and cable trays are fitted in the workshop, and the equipment cupboard has a removable back for servicing.
Clinic desks have to balance privacy with contact. We set a screening height that keeps notes and monitors out of view, build a lowered accessible section for patients in wheelchairs, and use hard wearing surfaces with sealed edges that take constant wiping without lifting.
Ashbrook is owned and run by a qualified builder with more than 15 years in the industry, so a reception desk is coordinated with the electrician, the data installer and whoever lays the floor, instead of waiting on them. Shop drawings and a 3D render fix the heights and the equipment layout up front, and the desk is built and finished at our Huskisson workshop.
Our reception desks page describes the same work in more detail. A front counter usually sits inside a bigger fit out, so our commercial joinery in Kiama page is worth reading, and our Kiama joinery and cabinetry page lists everything else we make.
Shop drawings, a set install window and one trade answering for the joinery.
