Behind the 90-Day Countdown

Logan City Special School will be featured in Epic Builds: The 90 Day Challenge, a national television series showcasing ambitious construction projects delivered under strict time constraints.Hosted by Adam Spencer and brought to audiences by prefabAUS, the peak body for Australia’s off-site construction industry, the series follows the boldest prefab and modular construction projects across Australia, from remote island homes to entire schools, including Fleetwood’s CSIRO Forest Hill and Logan City Special School projects.

The episode follows Fleetwood’s 90-day programme from first module delivery through to final completion ahead of Term 1, offering viewers a behind-the-scenes look at factory manufacturing, logistics coordination and on-site installation within a live school environment.

Overview

A Time-Critical Transformation for a Growing School Community

Logan City Special School needed urgent infrastructure for 126 new enrolments starting in Term 1, 2025. The Queensland Department of Education engaged Fleetwood to deliver a major modular expansion within a strict 90-day programme.

The project includes the design, manufacture, and installation of 47 new modular units to form a 22-classroom senior campus. In addition, 15 existing modules were relocated and a further 15 refurbished to integrate with the new precinct. The broader scope also included administration and support facilities, life skills spaces, DDA-compliant amenities, new carparks, bus shelters, basketball courts, playgrounds, landscaped outdoor areas, and 1,200 m² of internal refurbishments, all delivered within a live school environment. The first modules arrived on Day 46, and the facility was fully operational before students returned on 27 January 2025.

In addition to new teaching spaces, the scope included life skills areas, amenities compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), internal refurbishments, and landscaped outdoor zones, all seamlessly integrated into the existing campus.

Solution

Modern Modular Construction with Programme Certainty

Fleetwood adopted a fully integrated modular strategy to compress delivery timelines while maintaining quality and safety.

All modules were manufactured off-site at Fleetwood’s Crestmead facility under controlled factory conditions, fully assembled and ready for deployment on-site for rapid installation. Site preparation and module production progressed simultaneously, significantly reducing programme duration.

Screw-pile foundations, which use steel piles screwed into the ground to provide stable support, eliminated the need for wet trades (construction tasks involving water, such as concrete pouring) and curing delays, lowering weather-related risks and accelerating sequencing. Installation was carefully staged to maintain safe school operations, including relocating 15 existing modules and refurbishing (updating) a further 15 to integrate with the new campus.

By shifting the majority of construction off-site, Fleetwood reduced on-site congestion and created a controlled, predictable delivery environment.

Benefits

Purpose-Built for Inclusive Education

Delivering the campus ahead of Term 1 ensured students and staff could begin immediately in a purpose-built, specialist learning environment.

The 22-classroom senior precinct supports flexible teaching, independence, and inclusion. It has dedicated life skills spaces and fully accessible amenities for diverse learning needs.

Beyond speed, the project enhanced the school environment through 1,200 m² of internal refurbishments and 3,000 m² of landscaped areas, integrating new infrastructure without overwhelming the existing campus. Off-site construction reduced noise and disruption, while student engagement activities during delivery reinforced the project’s educational value.

The result is a future-ready learning precinct delivered with care, certainty and long-term adaptability.
