Modular solutions crafted for a modern Australia
Creating Innovative Spaces where students and teachers can thrive!
From kindergarten to year twelve, we’ve worked in the educational sector for over 30 years, cementing ourselves as leaders in modern modular learning spaces. At Fleetwood we understand the impact our physical spaces can have on the educational journeys of many. Beyond just classrooms filled with whiteboards and desks, these environments must be safe places where children can play, learn and grow, while providing teachers with the tools they need to feel confident and empowered.
Today’s education sector faces numerous unique challenges, including rising enrollments and a diverse curriculum with a growing need for tailored learning spaces. Amidst increasing demands and limited space, we know it’s imperative to design smarter, more sustainable environments to overcome these issues. We do this by:
• Creating environments that not only attract teachers but also foster a culture of curiosity among students.
• Minimising disruptions for students in co-located spaces by ensuring swift construction, often completed within school holiday periods.
• Incorporating considerations for diverse cultural heritages to ensure inclusivity and relevance.
• Ensuring our buildings can be used for years to come by adapting and flexing without extensive rebuilds.
Every one of our modular solutions embody our commitment to providing dynamic educational spaces for the next generation.
Together, let’s build a brighter future,

Why Fleetwood?
How we deliver modern modular solutions crafted for the next generation.
Customisable designs
Our in-house design team adopts a dynamic and flexible approach, ensuring that buildings are meticulously crafted to meet the unique requirements of each school and area. This includes creating bespoke fittings and fixtures that resonate with the local community, as well as addressing accessibility requirements to ensure equal access for all learners. This includes brick facades, allowing for the seamless integration of new modular builds with the look and feel of older existing buildings.
Cost-effective
Our modern modular approach enables us to deliver projects in-full, on-time and in budget. Our clients get access to architecturally designed buildings at scale without the price tag. Clients can tailor finishes to suit their budget, ensuring cost-effectiveness from project get-go. Our manufacturing process is streamlined, with little waste, and fewer labour requirements resulting in cost savings for schools.

Flexibility
Our approach allows for easy repurposing, reuse and adjustment to evolve with changing demands. There’s no need for additional investment in new buildings; instead, we can utilise existing structures and repurpose them to accommodate future needs.

Turnkey solutions
In education outdoor areas for safe play hold equal significance to indoor spaces. Alongside our comprehensive turnkey solution, we manage both hard and soft landscaping, along with playground installation.
Elimination of regional barriers
The scarcity of tradespeople in remote areas often leads to exorbitant expenses and logistical challenges in accessing these locations. By opting for offsite construction, we mitigate these costs and minimise potential delays and budget blowouts associated with securing trades on-site.
Minimal impact
Our offsite manufacturing ensures minimal school and community disruption during the build process. Including minimal noise pollution, less traffic disruption and other amenity impacts. We pride ourselves on carefully selecting sustainable building materials and construction methods to minimise waste. We actively recycle materials and efficiently manage inventory levels to further reduce our environmental footprint.
Our offsite construction techniques and advanced technologies significantly reduce carbon emissions and enhance resource efficiency compared to traditional onsite builds. We continually strive to minimise waste and environmental impact by:
• Using recycled materials
• Prioritising local sourcing
• Implementing clean production methods
• Setting targets for waste reduction and recycling
• Adopting energy and water-efficient practices.
