Melrose is pleased to welcome Daniel Marshall as our new Team Lead, Fitout & Refurbishment. Bringing extensive experience in commercial fitout and refurbishment projects across South East Queensland, Daniel joins Melrose at an exciting stage of growth, as the business continues to expand its footprint across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast.
“There’s a real energy at Melrose, and I’m looking forward to being part of it,” Daniel says. “This is a great opportunity to bring my experience to the table and support an already strong team.”
With years of experience leading teams in the construction and fitout sector, Daniel is passionate about creating environments where people can perform at their best.
“I like to keep things open, honest, and team-focused,” Daniel says. “I’m big on communication, backing people to do their best work, and making sure everyone is pulling in the same direction. When people feel supported and are clear on where they’re heading, great things can happen.”
Daniel’s collaborative approach and focus on communication align closely with Melrose’s culture of transparency, teamwork, and delivery excellence — values that have helped build the company’s reputation for quality and client satisfaction across the region.
Daniel sees significant potential for Melrose’s Fitout and Refurbishment division to continue growing its presence throughout South East Queensland.
“There’s real potential for growth in the fitout and refurbishment sector, and by collaborating closely with our new build division, we can offer clients a truly seamless service across the full project lifecycle,” he explains.
From office and commercial refurbishments to retail and hospitality fitouts, Melrose’s integrated approach allows clients to benefit from the company’s broader expertise across design, planning, and construction. This end-to-end capability is helping the team deliver innovative and efficient outcomes for clients across the SEQ market.
Daniel believes the key to success lies in understanding client priorities from the outset.
“If you’re clear on what success looks like for the client, you can make informed decisions along the way. Quality doesn’t have to come at the cost of commercial outcomes — in fact, the two go hand in hand,” he says. “A well-run project that hits the brief, avoids surprises, and delivers real value is a win for everyone.”
His emphasis on proactive planning, communication, and accountability ensures that Melrose continues to deliver high-quality, cost-effective fitout and refurbishment projects throughout South East Queensland.
The construction and refurbishment industry in South East Queensland is evolving rapidly, with clients seeking faster turnarounds and more sustainable solutions.
“Speed, flexibility, and collaboration continue to be key, with clients looking for quicker delivery without compromising on quality or safety,” Daniel says. “There’s also a growing focus on sustainability and smarter material choices, which are influencing both design and construction methods. On top of that, technology is playing a bigger role in how we plan and deliver projects — from improved tracking tools to more efficient communication on site.”
Melrose continues to invest in modern systems and tools that help teams deliver with precision and agility across SEQ’s fast-paced project landscape.
For Daniel, joining Melrose was about the people and the opportunity to make a genuine impact.
“The culture, the people, and the opportunity to make a real difference all stood out to me. Melrose has a great reputation and strong direction, but still feels like a place where you can roll up your sleeves and help shape the future. That mix of experience and energy really appealed to me.”
Away from the construction site, Daniel is a keen swimmer — and, as he’ll tell you, unbeatable on a mechanical bull.
