About Us
One Cento Outcome:
De-Risked, De-Mystified, Delivered
"Cento" (pronounced CHEN-toh) means "one hundred" in Italian. For us, this number represents our philosophy: 100% commitment, 100% attention to detail, and a pursuit of 100% client satisfaction. "Cento"
Our Story
Since entering the Australian market in 2007, we have partnered with distinctive architects and developers to deliver complex, non-standard architectural metalwork for mid-to-high-rise residential and commercial projects. Where others see difficulty, we see opportunity. Whether it is a bespoke feature staircase or a volume package of unitized louvers, we handle the elements that are "hard to describe" or haven't been done before.
The Hassle-Free Pathway
The Hassle-Free Pathway Metalwork may only be a fraction of your construction budget, but mismanagement can cause disproportionate delays and cost overruns. We change that narrative.
We operate as one collaborative team with one consistent workflow. From design concepts and engineering reviews to logistics and installation support, we manage the budget and timeline progressively. We take the stress out of the process, ensuring your construction journey is seamless, orderly, and fully compliant.
Our Process
A Seamless Workflow from Concept to Reality
1
Design & Approval
(Weeks 0–4)
The Foundation of Efficiency
-
Weeks 0–1 (Alignment): We align with your design intent, specifications, and unit variations early to improve downstream efficiency.
-
Weeks 1–3 (Detailing): We undertake 3D modelling, connection detailing, and compliance verification to avoid later revisions.
-
Week 4 (Sign-Off): Consolidated feedback and timely approval allow us to lock in the production schedule without delay.
2
Production & Manufacturing
(Weeks 4–9)
Precision at Scale
-
Weeks 4–6 (Scheduling): Material procurement and fabrication planning commence immediately.
-
Weeks 6–9 (Fabrication): Components are manufactured in batches by unit type under strict ISO 9001 quality control. Once designs are frozen, progress is stable and predictable.
3
Delivery & Installation Support
(Weeks 9–12)
Logistics & Coordination
-
Weeks 9–10 (Logistics): Deliveries are staged according to site readiness, with early planning for cranage and storage.
-
Weeks 10–12 (On-Site): We coordinate closely with other trades to minimize idle time. While we supply the product, we offer comprehensive installation support, manuals, and on-site guidance.
