company strongly prefers to promote from within before ever posting an external listing, giving existing staff the first opportunity to step into more senior positions. The company’s relationships with suppliers and subcontractors are also based on loyalty and mutual commitment, and they also tend to be long-lasting. One of the company’s current subcontractors, for example, was among the very first Joe Timpano hired four decades ago, and is still on the job today. Joseph credits that longevity to their shared values. “We hold our suppliers and subcontractors to the same standard we hold ourselves, because at the end of the day, we want to provide the best product and service to our clients. That’s the core focus across everything.” Recently, Timpelle demonstrated that commitment to quality on their largest project to date, a large scale joinery-only fitout. That project was significant enough that it also set a record for Elton Group, the Melbourne-based veneer board company that supplies Timpelle’s materials. Moving forward, Joseph envisions being involved in more projects of that scale and sophistication. “One of our main focuses over the next few years is really growing our boutique joinery space and taking on more of those bigger, one-off projects,” he says. “That’s something we really challenged ourselves with last year, and we did really well. We want to continue growing and expanding in that space. Over the next three to five years, that’s probably going to be our main focus.” APRIL 2026
