OzSBI is Under Construction
On August 1st construction started on our 2nd floor renovation. We are excited about this project as it will mean that the OzSBI building is complete! The construction is scheduled to take place for the next 10 months.
What does this mean for daily operations at OzSBI? We are still open and all of our clients will remain in the building. The back parking is off limits, so if you are visiting please use our front entrance.
We will be posting photos to our Facebook page weekly, so if you haven't liked our page click on over there to stay up to date with our progress!
