We are Straight Up
About Us
We say what we mean, deliver what we promise, and build things that last. That’s been our approach since day one — and it’s what keeps our clients coming back.
Built on experience. Driven by values.
Straight Up Metal Services was founded in 2017 by three experienced tradesmen who’d spent years working alongside each other on some of Melbourne’s most demanding construction projects. They knew how good work got done — and they knew the industry could do better. So they built a business around doing exactly that.
From the beginning, the name has meant something. Straight Up with clients. Straight Up with suppliers. Straight Up with our own team. That commitment to honest, transparent relationships is baked into everything we do.
“Straight Up with customers. Straight Up with suppliers. Straight Up with our team.”

The Values Behind Every Job.
These aren’t words on a wall — they’re the standard we hold ourselves to on every project, for every client. When you work with SUMS, you’ll see these values in action from the first phone call to the final installation.
Integrity
We do what we say we're going to do. Every time. If something changes, you'll hear it from us first — not find out later.
Quality
We don't cut corners. Every weld, every fixture, every installation is done to the highest standard — because our name goes on it.
Honesty
Clear communication from quote to completion. No hidden costs, no vague timelines. Just straight answers from people who know their trade.
Commitment
We're invested in your project's success. We show up, we follow through, and we get it done — regardless of what it takes.
70+ Years of Trade Knowledge Behind Every Job.
Deep Trade Expertise
With a combined 70+ years of experience across our team, we bring a depth of knowledge that simply can't be shortcut. We've worked on projects of every scale and complexity.
Fewer Surprises
That experience means faster problem-solving and a higher standard of finish on every job. We've seen it before — and we know how to handle it.
Built for the Long Term
We look forward to building a strong, committed working relationship with you, one that provides a solid foundation for current and future projects.
