Total Fitouts Surry Hills

Peter Zafis
Managing Director

Peter found his passion for commercial fitouts after fitting out several of his own successful hospitality and retail businesses.  While owning and operating an array of different businesses (pizza shops, bars, barber shops and an aluminium distribution business), Peter had an opportunity to explore different styles and understand the different needs in each business space. From here Peter went on to larger-scale projects, shopfitting for the Miranda Westfield Shopping Centre.

Peter is perfectly suited to a B2B operation such as Total Fitouts, because he has personal experience coupled with the understanding of small business needs and in turn, great intuition when it comes to understanding and conceptualising the client’s hopes and dreams for a space.
