Temporary hoardings without the drama
Temporary hoardings for commercial construction projects
Running works in an occupied centre, office tower or public‑facing asset? BSG Commercial designs and delivers temporary hoardings across Australia, planned around live shopping centres, large‑format retail, commercial buildings and public assets.
Temporary hoardings create a solid separation between construction zones and the public, tenants or staff. They help control access, contain dust and keep live environments safe and compliant while works are underway.
We coordinate design, approvals, installation, adjustments and removal so surrounding tenants can keep trading and public areas remain safe. Whether you’re isolating a single tenancy, staging a major centre upgrade or protecting public interfaces on a complex project, we plan hoardings around asset rules and your key dates.
Professional temporary hoardings for commercial environments
A temporary hoarding must do more than hide works. It has to keep people safe and help you meet your obligations in a live environment.
We focus on:
- Safe separation of construction areas from public and trading zones
- Solid barriers to contain dust, debris and visual clutter
- Secure access points for workers, deliveries and plant
- Layouts that preserve clear public egress and sightlines
- Acoustic reduction options for noise‑sensitive environments
- Internal and external hoarding configurations to suit different risk profiles
- Branding or presentation finishes that meet centre and landlord standards
- Compliance with relevant Australian safety requirements, WHS and centre rules
For hoardings linked to tenancy works, base‑build interfaces or broader staging, we work alongside our commercial building works and tenancy works teams so hoardings, defits and Cat 1 works land as one coordinated programme.

Compliance and safety obligations
Temporary hoardings sit at the intersection of landlord rules, asset standards and Australian safety law. BSG Commercial plans and delivers hoardings to reflect:
- Australian safety regulations and WHS obligations for live environments
- Site‑specific risk requirements, egress routes and emergency access
- Council or landlord requirements for stability, presentation and documentation
- Centre management requirements for access, noise, trading hours and public experience
- Safe public access with clear paths, signage and wayfinding
- A risk‑mitigation approach that treats hoardings as core safety infrastructure, not an add‑on
Cost considerations for Temporary Hoardings
Temporary hoarding costs depend on the size, specification and staging of your project. We provide clear, itemised quotes and can bundle temporary hoardings with commercial building works, tenancy works and defits where it reduces risk or overall cost.
Cost drivers typically include:
- Size and length of hoarding, including returns and corners
- Internal vs external placement and required height
- Materials used in framing, linings and fixings
- Acoustic requirements in noise‑sensitive environments
- Branding or graphic finishes such as vinyl wraps and printed panels
- Duration of hire or installation period
- After‑hours installation and night‑works requirements
- Access constraints such as lifts, loading docks and restricted areas
FAQs – Temporary Hoardings
What is included in a temporary hoarding scope?
Typically design and layout, supply and installation of hoarding panels and framing, doors or access points, seals and protection, required signage, adjustments during works and removal at completion.
How long does it take to install a temporary hoarding?
Timeframes vary with length, location and access. Smaller internal hoardings can often be installed overnight; larger or more complex hoardings may be staged over several shifts. We plan programmes around trading hours and centre constraints.
Do temporary hoardings need approvals?
Most do. Approvals are usually required from centre management, landlords and in some cases building management or councils. We coordinate with your designers and consultants to provide the information needed.
What is the difference between a hoarding and temporary fencing?
A hoarding is a solid, full‑height barrier designed for higher safety, separation and presentation in live environments. Temporary fencing is typically open mesh and more suited to lower‑risk or non‑public interfaces.
Can hoarding work be done after hours?
Yes. In live centres and occupied assets we often use night works and staging, supported by clear coordination with centre or building management.
How much do temporary hoardings cost?
Costs vary with length, height, specification, access and duration. After reviewing your site, requirements and constraints, we provide a tailored proposal rather than generic rate‑per‑metre estimates.
