CUSTOM
PROJECTS

From one-off components, moulds and prototypes through to full boat or caravan restorations and complete custom builds, LBM Fibreglass handles custom projects of all kinds across Brisbane and South-East Queensland.

If You Can Picture It, We Can Build It

Fibreglass is one of the most versatile materials available for custom projects. It can be moulded into almost any shape, is lightweight yet strong, resistant to corrosion, and can be finished to a high standard. That makes it ideal for one-off components, prototypes, replacement parts that are no longer available, and custom builds across marine, automotive and industrial applications.

At LBM Fibreglass we take on custom projects of all kinds. Whether you need a mould made from an existing part, a prototype for a new design, or a one-off component built from scratch, we work with you to understand the brief and deliver a result that's built to last. That includes larger-scale work too: full boat or caravan restorations and complete custom builds are part of what we do, not just standalone components.

Our Approach to Custom Projects

Every custom projects job starts with understanding exactly what's needed. If you have an existing part, a mould can often be taken directly from it to reproduce an accurate replica. If you're starting from a design or concept, we work through the shape and construction approach to bring it to life in fibreglass.

From there we build the mould or master pattern, lay up the fibreglass to the correct specification for the application, and finish the component to the required standard. We take the same care with custom projects as we do with every repair: the goal is always a result that's functional, durable and finished properly.

Our Process

01
Consultation

We discuss the brief, look at any existing parts or designs, and work through what's needed before quoting.

02
Mould or Pattern Making

A mould or master pattern is created, either from an existing part or built to the required design.

03
Fabrication

The component is laid up using fibreglass materials suited to the application.

04
Finishing

The finished piece is gelcoated or finished as required, sanded and prepared for use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you take on full boat or caravan restoration projects?
Yes, restorations are a great fit for our Custom Projects service. Whether it's bringing a tired hull back to life, rebuilding damaged sections, or a full refinish, we work with you to scope the project properly and deliver a result built to last.
Can you make a mould from an existing part?
Yes, if you have an existing part we can take a mould from it to reproduce an accurate replica, useful for discontinued or hard to source components.
Do you only do marine fabrication or other industries too?
We take on custom fibreglass fabrication across marine, automotive and industrial applications.
Can you build a one-off component from a design or sketch?
Yes, we work through the brief with you and build the mould or master pattern required to fabricate the component.
How long does custom projects take?
Timeframes vary depending on the complexity of the job, particularly mould making. We'll give you a clear indication during the consultation stage.
What's the difference between this and your Custom Modifications service?
Custom Modifications covers changes and additions made directly to an existing vessel. Custom Projects covers standalone components, moulds, prototypes and replacement parts built separately.

Note: If your project involves modifications to an insured boat or caravan, it's worth declaring the work to your insurer once complete. Undeclared modifications can affect your entire insurance claim, not just the modified part, so keeping your insurer up to date helps avoid issues down the track.
