The future of housing is here, and we’re ready to deliver. Exciting news. Our CEO Bruce Nicholson was featured on Nine, discussing the urgent need to streamline approvals, cut through red tape, and embrace modern modular manufacturing. These steps are essential to achieving the Government’s ambitious goal of delivering 1.2 million homes. Modular construction has evolved dramatically, but outdated perceptions and delays in the approval process continue to hold Australia back. While our global counterparts are forging ahead, it’s time to step up. 🎥 Watch the full video here.   #modularhousing #sustainablehousing #affordablehousing #housingcrisis #australiamanufacturing

🏫 15 Modular Units | 744m² New Space | 11 Weeks On-Site New after-school care facility delivered to meet the growing needs for Coomera Anglican College. Designed for both functionality and child safety, the facility maintains seamless operations with minimal disruption during construction. Modular construction was the best choice here, as it allowed the existing OSHC facility to remain fully operational during the build. By adopting a phased approach, Fleetwood ensured the new facility was completed, handed over seamlessly, and followed by the safe demolition of the old structure. College Business Manager Ryan Diaz shared his gratitude: “The College is grateful to the incredible Fleetwood team for bringing the vision of the College’s OSHC facility to life. This facility was created to meet the growing demand and offers more than we could have imagined.” Key features include: ✅Floor-to-ceiling glass panels providing enhanced supervision across activity zones ✅Child-friendly amenities, including breakout spaces and accessible toilets ✅Operational areas such as a reception, staff rooms, and kitchen to support daily care services ✅Construction completed in 28 weeks, with only 11 weeks on-site 🔗 See how we tailored this solution for Coomera here: https://lnkd.in/gd_zyjCb #FleetwoodAustralia #ModularConstruction #CoomeraAnglicanCollege #EducationSolutions #ProjectComplete #InnovationInBuilding #OSHC
