How Much Does it Cost to Build a Cold Room?

How Much Does It Cost to Build a Cold Room?

If you’re planning to open a new venue, upgrade your current facility, or expand your cold storage capacity, one of the first questions you’re likely asking is: “How much does it cost to build a cold room?”

The short answer? It depends.
The long answer? We’ve broken it down for you with an easy reference table showing the approximate sizes and costs based on our experience building compliant, efficient, and durable cold rooms across Queensland.


📏 What Affects the Cost of a Cold Room?

Several factors influence the final price of a cold room installation, including:

  • Room size & layout (including height)

  • Type of use (cool room vs freezer room)

  • Insulation thickness

  • Type of door (hinged, sliding, auto-close)

  • Compressor capacity and brand

  • Flooring requirements

  • Site access and electrical work

We’ve included a table below outlining approximate turnkey costs for common cold room sizes to give you a starting point.


💡 Are You Building for HACCP, TGA or Food Safety Compliance?

Many of our clients operate in high-compliance industries such as food manufacturing, healthcare, or pharmaceuticals. That’s why we specialise in building cold rooms that meet HACCP, TGA, NHVAS, and council compliance standards.

✔️ Stainless steel or fibreglass internal walls
✔️ Welded or graded coving for hygiene
✔️ Data logging and remote temperature monitoring
✔️ Custom lighting and emergency access systems

When we build a cold room, it’s not just about the walls and the motor — it’s about designing for long-term performance and audit-readiness.


🛠️ What’s Included in Our Build Service?

ACRO Refrigeration provides full design-to-installation cold room projects across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and regional QLD. Each project includes:

  • On-site measure and consultation

  • CAD design and layout planning

  • Supply of insulated panel systems

  • Refrigeration system installation

  • Electrical and drainage coordination

  • Commissioning and compliance testing

  • Optional: HACCP/TGA documentation package


🧾 Final Word: Budget Smarter, Build Better

The cost of a cold room isn’t just in the upfront quote — it’s in the lifetime performance, reliability, and compliance.
With ACRO, you get more than a build. You get:

  • ✅ Accurate sizing and cooling capacity advice

  • ✅ Transparent, fixed-price quotes

  • ✅ Access to trusted brands like Danfoss, Bitzer, and Skope

  • ✅ Post-installation support and preventative maintenance plans

Complete demolition and reconstruction of the pastry kitchen cool room, designed and built to meet stringent food safety and operational continuity requirements in a live hotel environment.

A custom built cold room for the Sofitel pastry kitchen

Project Challenges:

  • Live Operating Environment:
    The pastry kitchen remained operational throughout the build. We coordinated daily with hotel kitchen staff to maintain workflow with zero disruption to service.

  • Dust & Debris Management:
    Special containment measures were implemented to ensure airborne dust, construction debris, and noise were kept to an absolute minimum — critical in a working hospitality kitchen.

  • Complex Coordination:
    The site presented logistical and structural limitations. Precision scheduling and trade coordination were essential to meet the strict timeframe and avoid disrupting hotel operations.


Solution Delivered:

Acro delivered a turnkey refrigeration and construction package, including:

  • Custom Design & Engineering of the new cool room to suit spatial and operational constraints

  • Australian-made insulated panels for food-grade compliance and durability

  • Demolition of the existing cool room structure

  • New concrete flooring, integrated with existing drainage and floor waste systems

  • Installation & commissioning of commercial refrigeration equipment

  • All electrical works handled by our in-house electrical division

  • Food-safe tiling throughout the interior

  • BMS integration for remote monitoring and hotel system compatibility


Outcome:

Case Study: Cold Room Upgrade – Lockyer District State High School

Case Study: Cold Room Upgrade – Lockyer District State High School

Client: Programmed Property Services
End User: Lockyer District State High School
Location: Lockyer Valley, QLD
Project Type: Cold Room Demolition & Replacement
Duration: 2 Weeks (Variation Phase)
Scope: Design and urgent re-specification of school tuckshop cold room


🎯 The Challenge

ACRO Refrigeration was engaged by Programmed Property Services to demolish and rebuild the existing tuckshop cold room at Lockyer District State High School. While the project was modest in size, it presented a unique challenge: significant last-minute changes requested by the school after installation was complete.

The original cold room had been built to specification, but the school requested three glass insert doors and internal shelving to be added for direct access and better storage visibility — requiring immediate attention to avoid delaying project handover.


Our Solution

Within hours of the variation being confirmed, our team:

  • Sourced and installed 3 high-quality custom built insert glass doors

  • Installed custom door heaters and lighting to meet compliance and usability standards

  • Procured and installed durable, matching shelving

  • Coordinated the electrical and refrigeration changes without disrupting other trades

  • Completed all modifications within 2 weeks, ensuring Programmed met their delivery deadline

When performance matters
On time, on budget, every time!

The Outcome

Despite the last-minute scope change, ACRO responded with urgency, flexibility, and technical precision. The variation was delivered on time, to spec, and without compromising quality — supporting our client’s reputation and the school’s operational needs.


Why It Matters

This project reflects ACRO’s commitment to:

  • Responsiveness under pressure

  • High-quality custom refrigeration builds

  • Delivering compliant, fit-for-purpose solutions

  • Supporting our partners with proactive problem-solving


“ACRO delivered all changes within two weeks, allowing us to meet the school’s deadline with no delays — a testament to their professionalism and flexibility.”
Project Manager, Programmed Property Services

A sustainable, energy efficient cold room
3 door inserts sourced and supplied to meet last minute design change – project still delivered on time

Key Compliance Standards for Commercial Refrigeration Clients in QLD

Key Compliance Standards for Commercial Refrigeration Clients in QLD

ACRO Refrigeration delivers audit ready refrigeration in Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. Whether you run a medical facility, food processing plant, aged care home, or supermarket, commercial refrigeration in Queensland isn’t just about keeping things cool — it’s about meeting strict compliance standards. Regulatory failure can mean fines, shutdowns, or irreversible damage to your brand.

At ACRO Refrigeration, we work with clients across QLD to ensure their refrigeration systems not only function reliably but meet the compliance benchmarks that matter most.


🧾 1. HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points)

Who It Affects:

  • Food processors and manufacturers

  • Hospitality and catering operations

  • Supermarkets and cold storage warehouses

Why It Matters:

HACCP is critical for identifying and controlling food safety hazards. Auditors will check your refrigeration logs, temperature control records, and maintenance practices.

How ACRO Supports HACCP:

  • Scheduled PMAs aligned with HACCP verification

  • Temperature log automation and data integrity

  • Documentation support for audits and inspections


💉 2. TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) Compliance

Who It Affects:

  • Pharmacies and compounding chemists

  • Medical research labs

  • Hospitals and vaccine storage facilities

Why It Matters:

The TGA regulates the proper handling and storage of medicines, vaccines, and biological products. A single temperature excursion can mean non-compliance or product loss.

How ACRO Supports TGA Standards:

  • Preventative maintenance

  • Annual certification

  • 24/7 emergency repair services for medical fridges


🚛 3. NHVAS (National Heavy Vehicle Accreditation Scheme) – Cold Chain

Who It Affects:

  • Transport companies moving temperature-sensitive freight

  • Distribution centres

  • Freight forwarders and 3PL providers

Why It Matters:

NHVAS Cold Chain compliance ensures your refrigerated vehicles and facilities are maintaining the correct temperatures throughout transport and handling.

How ACRO Supports NHVAS:

  • Maintenance of dock coolers, chilled bays, and storage fridges

  • Integration of monitoring systems for compliance tracking

  • Expert servicing to prevent temperature drift and delays


🏛️ 4. Local Council & State Health Regulations

Who It Affects:

  • Any business operating under a food licence or health facility registration

Why It Matters:

Councils and health departments conduct unannounced inspections — especially after complaints or power failures. Your refrigeration systems must be safe, compliant, and verifiable.

How ACRO Helps:

  • Fast response to breakdowns, even after hours

  • Maintenance logs, service records, and temperature history

  • Expert advice on system upgrades to meet new regulations


🔍 Why Compliance Shouldn’t Be an Afterthought

The cost of non-compliance isn’t just regulatory — it’s reputational. A spoiled product batch, failed inspection, or refrigeration breakdown can cost thousands, or even shut down operations.

That’s why ACRO Refrigeration makes compliance a core pillar of every maintenance plan and system design.


📞 Let’s Future-Proof Your Refrigeration Compliance

At ACRO, we don’t just fix fridges — we reduce your risk. With over 50 years of experience supporting QLD businesses in regulated industries, we know what auditors look for and how to keep your systems compliant year-round.

Vaccine Fridge Certification: Why It’s Critical and How We Can Help

If your Brisbane, Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast QLD business stores vaccines, medications, or temperature-sensitive biological products, then you already know the importance of maintaining a precise, regulated cold chain. A key part of that responsibility is ensuring your vaccine fridge is functioning correctly and remains compliant with safety and regulatory standards.

That’s where we come in.

✅ What Is Vaccine Fridge Certification?

Vaccine Fridge Certification is a professional inspection and documentation process confirming that your refrigeration equipment is operating within safe parameters. It’s often required by health authorities, insurance providers, and internal quality assurance systems—especially in medical clinics, pharmacies, and aged care facilities.

At ACRO Refrigeration, we offer a comprehensive vaccine fridge certification service that gives you peace of mind and a documented trail of compliance.


🧰 What’s Included in Our Service

When we certify a vaccine fridge, you’ll receive a Refrigeration Maintenance Certificate to keep on file for audit purposes.  The certification is performed by a licensed refrigeration technician.


🏥 Who Needs This?

This service is ideal for businesses in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast QLD:

  • General practices

  • Pharmacies

  • Aged care homes

  • Pathology labs

  • Veterinary clinics

  • Any facility storing sensitive biological materials


📞 Book Your Certification

Ensure your vaccine storage meets compliance standards—and protect the health of your patients and community.

Pre-Audit Refrigeration Checklist (QLD): How to Pass with Confidence

When an auditor walks through your door in Brisbane, Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast  — whether it’s for HACCP, TGA, or local food safety compliance — your refrigeration system becomes a focal point. In commercial environments like food manufacturing, pharma distribution, aged care, or supermarkets, one temperature deviation or logbook gap can trigger a non-compliance notice, lost product, or worse — a shutdown.

If you operate in Queensland and rely on commercial refrigeration, this Pre-Audit Checklist will help you prepare, prevent surprises, and pass inspections with confidence.


1. ✅ Temperature Accuracy & Calibration

Audit Requirement: Must maintain prescribed temperature ranges (e.g., 0–5°C for perishables, -18°C for frozen goods) and prove calibration.

Checklist:

Fridges/freezers show correct digital readings

Independent thermometer readings match display

Calibration certificate within last 6–12 months

Calibration done by a NATA-certified provider

🔧 Pro Tip: Consider annual calibration scheduling with your HVAC partner — it’s cheap insurance during audits.


2. 📉 Temperature Logging & Records

Audit Requirement: Continuous records showing no deviation from safe temperature ranges.

Checklist:

24/7 data logging system in place

Clear and legible logs (digital or manual)

Retained for at least 3–12 months (check your industry rules)

Staff trained on logging and alerts

Deviations flagged and documented with corrective actions

💡 Smart systems can send alerts before problems become audit failures. If you’re still using paper logs, consider upgrading.


3. 🧰 Preventive Maintenance & Servicing

Audit Requirement: Equipment must be in good working order with evidence of regular maintenance.

Checklist:

Maintenance logs show routine servicing

Filters clean and replaced on schedule

Door seals intact and working

No excessive frost, ice, or condensation

Condensers and evaporators clean

🔍 Auditors can spot neglected equipment instantly. Regular servicing = better uptime and fewer surprises.


4. 🔐 Food/Stock Separation & Contamination Control

Audit Requirement: No cross-contamination risks in cool rooms, freezers or fridges.

Checklist:

Raw and cooked items clearly separated

Chemicals or cleaning products stored separately

No cardboard storage on floors

No open containers without labels

Date labels visible and legible

📸 Take photos before the audit and do a quick walkthrough with staff to ensure storage is 100% compliant.


5. 📄 Documentation & SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures)

Audit Requirement: Clear procedures in place to maintain cold chain integrity.

Checklist:

Temperature monitoring SOP available to staff

Corrective action procedure documented

Staff trained and signed off

Last audit response file on hand

Supplier delivery logs include temperature checks

🧠 Auditors don’t just look at gear — they check your systems and culture too.


Bonus: Pass or Fail? What Auditors Really Look For

In our experience servicing commercial clients across QLD, auditors are looking for:

  • Evidence that you control your refrigeration risks

  • Quick access to logs, calibration, and service reports

  • Staff who understand the system, not just “the fridge guy handles that”


✅ Final Thought: Don’t Just Pass — Be Audit-Ready Year-Round

Passing a compliance audit should never be a scramble. With the right systems, service partner, and culture, you can make refrigeration compliance routine — not reactive.

Need help with pre-audit checks or smart monitoring systems?
We help Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast QLD businesses keep their refrigeration audit-ready — from HACCP to TGA and beyond.

Emergency Commercial Fridge Repairs Brisbane | 24/7 Service

Emergency Commercial Fridge Repairs Brisbane | 24/7 Service

Fridge down at 6PM on a Saturday night? Don’t panic — call ACRO Refrigeration. We provide 24/7 emergency commercial fridge repairs in Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast with fast dispatch and expert technicians who understand how critical every minute is when perishable stock and business continuity are on the line.


Why Every Minute Counts

A single fridge breakdown can cost thousands in spoiled stock, lost sales, and food safety breaches — especially in hospitality and retail environments. Whether you’re a:

  • Restaurant or bar with cold prep or beverage display units,

  • Butcher or deli managing fresh meats,

  • Medical clinic relying on temperature-controlled pharmaceuticals, or

  • Supermarket with chilled product aisles,

…a fast, professional repair isn’t optional — it’s essential.

A service technician rushing to a break down
We’re open 24/7!

The Cost of a Refrigeration Breakdown

A refrigeration breakdown isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a financial and operational nightmare. Here’s why:

  • Stock Losses: A restaurant’s fridge failure can spoil $5,000–$50,000 in perishable goods, while a pharmacy risks losing critical vaccines worth thousands.

  • Downtime: Every hour your cool room is down means lost sales, especially for high-traffic venues like Brisbane’s South Bank eateries or Gold Coast supermarkets.

  • Compliance Risks: Food safety regulations (e.g., Food Standards Australia New Zealand) require fridges to stay below 5°C. Non-compliance can lead to fines or closures. Pharmacies face TGA penalties if vaccine fridges deviate from 2–8°C (learn more about our vaccine fridge certification).

  • Reputation Damage: Customers expect fresh food and safe services. A breakdown can erode trust, especially in competitive markets like Brisbane’s CBD.


🚨 Why Choose ACRO for Emergency Repairs?
