Our Story
From Apprentice to Industry Leader
RAM Shopfitting and Construction was founded on 20 years of practical experience in joinery, construction and fit outs. Director Mario Da Fonseca trained as a joiner and shopfitter, building his expertise through an apprenticeship and diverse projects across residential, commercial and retail sectors. He established RAM with a clear vision: to combine quality craftsmanship, in-house manufacturing and end-to-end project delivery to give clients greater confidence in every outcome.
Today, that vision is reflected in RAM’s fully integrated approach. From its Melbourne workshop, the team manufactures custom joinery in-house using advanced CNC technology, precision machinery and specialist equipment. By managing every stage of the process, from manufacturing through to installation, RAM delivers consistent quality, reliable timelines and a seamless experience across retail, hospitality, commercial and residential projects.
Our Values
Precision in Execution
We believe quality is found in the details. Through meticulous workmanship, rigorous quality control and careful attention at every stage, we deliver results that meet the highest standards.
Accountability
We don’t just complete tasks—we take responsibility for the overall success of every project. By staying proactive, accountable and solutions-focused, we deliver outcomes our clients can rely on.
Commitment to Timelines
Timing matters, and so does reliability. Through careful planning, in-house manufacturing and efficient project management, we deliver projects on schedule without compromising on quality.
Honest Collaboration
Open communication is at the heart of every successful project. We keep clients informed, address challenges proactively and work collaboratively to keep projects moving forward.
Our Values
Why we do what we do
Our approach is simple: we deliver a more transparent and accountable way to manage shopfitting, construction and joinery projects. By keeping key stages in-house, we give clients greater control, clearer communication and more reliable outcomes.
Manufacturing under one roof
We manufacture custom joinery locally using CNC technology and precision equipment. This allows us to maintain strict quality control, improve efficiency and deliver a more consistent result from start to finish.
Complete project delivery
RAM can manage the full project scope, from joinery and installation through to trade coordination. Rather than handling isolated pieces, we take responsibility for the complete delivery.
Direct client relationships
We believe the best results come from direct communication. By working closely with the people delivering your project, clients benefit from faster decisions, greater transparency and stronger accountability.
Built for better outcomes
Every project has different requirements, but the goal remains the same: quality workmanship, reliable delivery and clear communication. By managing manufacturing and installation in-house, we maintain control over every stage and deliver consistent results across retail, commercial and residential projects.
