Born From a Real Need: How BruKon Helped My Business

Before BruKon was born, from a real need at the time

I ran a painting business called “Exclusive Painting Service” (E.P.S.). We managed large projects with up to 13 painters working simultaneously on both residential and commercial properties. We worked on everything from painting homes and national trust buildings to iconic places like the original Mushroom Records building, where Kylie Minogue was discovered. Our work often involved intricate finishes like coloured plaster cornices and floral roses, which demanded precision and quality.

As a business owner, I noticed the high costs associated with replacing paint brushes. Each painter needed several new brushes for every medium-sized job—often costing $30 per brush, multiplied by 13 workers. This wasn’t sustainable. We also went through excessive amounts of cleaning fluids, such as mineral turps, which added to the overhead.

It became clear that we had a problem. The waste was staggering, and customer complaints about paint residue around drains and on plants were becoming more frequent. I knew there had to be a better way to handle the cleaning process, save on brush replacements, and reduce waste.

That’s when I decided to design BruKon.

BruKon was created to solve these problems for professional painters, tradespeople, and DIY enthusiasts alike. It was made to help keep costs down, reduce waste, and save valuable time on clean-up. Now, I’m proud to say that BruKon is helping painters like me improve efficiency and the quality of their work, all while being affordable for everyone.
