Partnerships are at the heart of FMI Building Innovation’s success, and few demonstrate their impact more clearly than Fairview Concepts in Christchurch.
Led by owner Darryl Gommans, Fairview Concepts has been part of the FMIBI family for eight years. In that time, the business has doubled its turnover. Gommans credits the combination of support, product innovation, and the complete system FMIBI provides as key to that success.
“Without FMIBI, I don’t think we would have made it,” he says. “The support has been absolutely outstanding - not just in product but the whole system. In our industry, if you make a mistake on one window, that’s your profit gone. FMIBI’s end-to-end system means we can track every job all the way through, spot pitfalls before we go to manufacturing, and deliver consistent quality that brings customers back.”
For Gommans, that consistency builds confidence - not only for his team but also for his customers. “Every time we have a sale and we deliver, then we get repeat business. That comes from knowing everything works together, because all the components are coming from the same place. You’re in control.”
The FMIBI advantage for fabricators
Fairview is one of four consumer brands under FMIBI’s building systems umbrella, alongside NEXT, Vetro Raccordi, and Eurowood. Each brand is backed by the same principle: giving fabricators a premium product range, complete systems, and strong market presence.
Fabricators partnering with FMIBI benefit from:
A proven system - with integrated software, technical support, and a complete product portfolio that reduces errors and increases efficiency.
Recognised consumer brands - trusted by homeowners and specifiers, creating demand that drives sales.
Nationwide network and marketing support - ensuring fabricators don’t just make products, but build sustainable businesses.
Whether you’re an established fabricator looking to switch to a partner who offers more, or an entrepreneur seeking a turnkey fabrication business, FMIBI offers a model that delivers on its promise: helping businesses get ahead of the curve through innovation and excellence.
As Gommans puts it: “I would highly recommend it. Everything’s there to do a startup business and be successful.”
