The end of 2025 marked the completion of a landmark project for National Ceiling Systems: the new headquarters for the Australian Tax Office in Barton, ACT.
- 30,000m2 suspended ceilings
- Six storeys
- Seismic bracing
National Ceiling Systems supplied the system componentry, including suspension materials, grid, perimeter trims, tiles and seismic accessories.
STOCK & DISTRIBUTION
A letter of intent was received from the builder, and National Ceiling Systems promptly secured supply.
Over the following months, container loads of grid and tiles were stored at NCS facilities.
Twelve months after receipt of the letter of intent, the interior fit-out contractor commenced tile installation.
Tiles were then dispatched in stages through the exclusive NCS distributor network. Across eight months of continuous supply, the distributor was able to maintain stable pricing and avoid the fluctuations typically associated with international supply, due to the early and proactive securing of stock.
SINGLE SOURCE OF SUPPLY
NCS works exclusively with a dedicated supply partner for a range of acoustic mineral fibre ceiling tiles, delivering a highly consistent product with no batch variation.
This consistency provides clients with confidence that future reworks, refurbishments, or replacements can be completed seamlessly.
LOCAL MANUFACTURING
While there is no capacity for the manufacture of mineral fibre tiles in Australia, we recognise the significance of local manufacturing.
This is done through ensuring a range of auxiliary componentry, as well as bespoke products, are produced in Australia.
This includes:
- Column rings (rolling done in Australia)
- Suspension rod and clips
- Seismic perimeter clips
- Metal ceiling tiles, including mesh and perforated pan
This approach supports local jobs while enabling rapid lead times, making it well suited to projects with tight schedules, or where design changes are made throughout a project.
