01 — Background

One person,
start to finish.

Josh started out doing mobile abrasive blasting and industrial coatings, then spent time driving heavy combination interstate, running freight, machinery and vehicles into mine sites and depots across five states.

That combination is the whole point of this business. Most blasters have never strapped a machine down. Most carriers have no idea what a fresh topcoat can and cannot take. Doing both means the machine arrives the way it left.

FBTM is registered as a business name under Josh's ABN, with incorporation to a company underway. He owns one hundred per cent of it.

“The person who quotes the job does the work, and answers the phone afterwards.”

02 — How we work

Four things
we hold to.

Say no properlyIf we cannot do it, cannot resource it, or cannot hit the date, you hear it before you commit. An honest no protects both of us.
Quote what we meanScope in writing, with what is included and excluded. We do not go looking for variations after award.
Record the workPreparation grade, system applied and completion photographed. If there is a dispute later, there is evidence.
Answer the phoneYou are calling the owner. There is nobody to be transferred to and nobody to blame.
