About Us
I n 1987 the proprietors of Oz-cover - Joanne & Jack Hunneman, started
manufacturing and building Garages & Sheds in the township of Jimboomba in
South East Queensland, Australia under the name of 'Better Garages &
Carports'.
In the beginning the work consisted of mainly domestic garages & small farm
sheds, but this grew rapidly to larger buildings upon request from previous
clients.
In 1989 it became apparent that there was a need for a large range of
standard designs and with that a comprehensive quoting system. After
contacting some reputable engineers to design a range of buildings using
existing materials supplied by BHP Australia, and fittings manufactured by
Better Garages & Carports a system was developed.
 At that time Jack set out to develop a Computer Aided Costing and Ordering
Program to enable the business to provide accurate and professional quotations
to clients and clear material orders to suppliers.
Around the same time the decision was made to keep all manufacturing of
parts and fittings in house so the business would better respond to changes
in materials and practises available. For this purpose a factory was
constructed at neighbouring Logan Village. Over the following years business kept growing and changed to more
industrial /commercial buildings and some large one off designs.
 In 1996 Jack was asked to supply and build a small shopping centre in a
local town, this was accepted and the centre was completed in 1997.
During this work it was decided to incorporate the business, so Oz-Cover
Pty. Ltd. came to be in 1996.
Since then Oz-cover has concentrated on designing buildings to suit client
requirements and Government regulations, always mindful of new material and
practises available (see Press report Firewalls)
At present Oz-cover keeps a huge range of standard designs that can be
readily customised to the clients needs, provides advise on building
regulations, provides drafting services and budget estimates for private and
corporate clients.
Oz-cover supplies buildings in Queensland & New South Wales Australia and
have exported to; Phillipines, Fiji, Europe, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand.

Today's Quote
"It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little.
When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that is all.
When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything because
the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was
bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits
paying a little and getting a lot - it can't be done. If you
deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the
risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for
something better."
John Ruskin
