About Summit Trade Group, how we work, and what to expect

Where is Summit Trade Group based and where do you operate?


Summit Trade Group is based in Western Australia. We service clients across the Perth metro area and throughout regional WA, including the Pilbara, Goldfields, Kimberley, Mid West, South West, and Wheatbelt regions. For remote and fly-in fly-out site projects, we coordinate delivery and installation logistics as part of our project planning.

 


We are a multi-trade operation offering seven core services under one roof:

  • Modular Rooms: site offices, accommodation, lunch rooms, ablution blocks
  • Container Conversions: workshops, site offices, storage, livable spaces
  • Container Dome Assembly: large-span mining and industrial dome shelters
  • Transport Services: HR flatbed and utility transport for site deliveries
  • Air Conditioning: split system supply, installation, servicing, and decommissioning
  • Renovations: fit-outs, modular upgrades, and commercial maintenance works
  • Fencing: temporary and permanent commercial and industrial fencing


Getting a quote is easy and free. You can submit a request through our website’s Free Quote page, email us at info@summittradegroup.com.au, or call us directly. We aim to respond to all enquiries within 24 hours. For complex or multi-service projects, we may request a brief site visit or phone consultation to ensure the quote is accurate.


For standard single-service enquiries, we typically provide a quote within 24 to 48 hours of receiving your enquiry. For larger projects involving multiple services, site-specific requirements, or remote locations, we may take up to 3 to 5 business days to prepare a thorough and accurate proposal. We will always communicate expected timeframes upfront.


Yes. All licensed trade work carried out by Summit Trade Group, including electrical, plumbing, and refrigeration, is performed by fully licensed tradespeople holding current registrations with the relevant WA authorities (Building and Energy, EnergySafety WA). We hold current public liability and professional indemnity insurance. Certificates of currency are available upon request.


Absolutely, this is one of our core strengths. Engaging Summit Trade Group for multiple services means a single point of contact, a coordinated schedule, and one invoice. We manage the sequencing of trades internally so that work proceeds efficiently and without the delays that commonly arise when multiple separate contractors are trying to coordinate on the same site.


Yes, the mining and resource sector is a core part of our client base. We are experienced in working to site-specific safety requirements, SWMS and JSA documentation, site induction processes, and the logistical challenges of remote WA locations. We understand the cost of delays on resource projects and structure our delivery commitments accordingly.


Standard payment terms are discussed and agreed at the time of quoting. For most projects we require a deposit upon acceptance of the quote, with the balance due on practical completion. For larger or staged projects, progress payments aligned to project milestones can be arranged. We accept EFT bank transfer and can issue formal tax invoices for all work.


Yes. All workmanship is backed by our standard defect liability period. Installed products and equipment are covered by their respective manufacturer warranties, which we pass through to our clients in full. Specific warranty terms are outlined in each project proposal. If any issue arises after completion, contact us and we will respond promptly.

SECTION 02 — MODULAR ROOMS FAQs

Site offices, accommodation, lunch rooms, ablution blocks & more

What size split system do I need?


System sizing depends on the room dimensions, ceiling height, insulation, window exposure and usage patterns. As a general guide, a standard bedroom requires 2.0–2.5kW, a medium living area 3.5–5.0kW, and a large open-plan space 6.0kW+. We assess your space during the quoting process and recommend the correct capacity — avoiding the common mistake of undersized or oversized systems.


A standard single split system installation typically takes 2–4 hours from start to finish. Multi-head or more complex installations with longer pipe runs or difficult roof cavity access may take a full day. We provide a clear time estimate when quoting your job.


Yes — this is a core part of our service offering. We install split systems in modular rooms, portable offices, container conversions, lunchrooms and accommodation buildings as both an integrated part of new builds and as standalone retrofits into existing structures. We manage the wall penetrations, pipe runs and electrical connection as part of the installation.


For reliability and longevity, Daikin and Mitsubishi Electric are consistently strong performers in the Australian climate. Fujitsu and Panasonic are also highly regarded. For budget-conscious projects, Samsung and Haier offer solid performance at lower price points. We will give you honest brand guidance based on your specific application and budget during the consultation.


Yes. We provide servicing and maintenance for existing split systems regardless of brand. Regular servicing — typically recommended annually — extends system life, maintains efficiency and reduces the likelihood of unexpected failures. We provide a full service report on completion.


Decommissioning involves safe recovery of the refrigerant gas (required by Australian regulations), disconnection of electrical supply, and removal of both the indoor and outdoor units. We manage all of these steps in a compliant manner and can arrange disposal or storage of the units as required. Decommissioning is commonly required for demolitions, renovations and site relocations.
