The buildings included a robust low maintenance concrete transportable floor and a commercial grade fit out with rubber flooring and mirrors to the gym. The ablution buildings included a training room, lockers, changeroom, laundry, and bathroom amenities.

Solutions:
Early and considered design consultation ensured the custom Gymnasium and Ablutions buildings would serve the client’s purpose while remaining within budget with a functional and durable commercial specification. Provision for ramp access, including wider doorways, was incorporated into the training room to facilitate the on-site work needed to provide disabled access. With well-coordinated scheduling and planning throughout the project the buildings were constructed and delivered on time, within budget, and without any unplanned disruptions or issues to a satisfied client.

The building specification and construction methodology was developed, in conjunction with the project architect, to ensure the structure is capable of long-term performance in this harsh cyclonic coastal environment. A complex roof structure required careful consideration by the Modular WA design team and resulted in the use of a large box gutter to control water run off during extreme cyclonic weather events. Despite a tight timeline and winter weather conditions, Modular WA was able to employ effective procurement, scheduling and safe work practices in order to deliver a high-quality commercial building purpose-designed for the client’s requirements and location.

Overview:
Margaret River Independent School awarded Modular WA the tender for the construction and installation of two modular classrooms to accommodate the school’s growing student population.

Scope of Works:
Construct and install two modular classrooms for the Margaret River Independent school.
Includes transport of modules, onsite traffic management, cranage and site installation.

Features:
The classrooms were fully fitted out including features such as ceiling mounted projectors and white boards, with the external colour scheme matched to the existing school buildings to ensure seamless, harmonious integration.

Solutions:
This particular project was far more challenging than the typical modular install, with restricted access to the area and a particularly short site-access availability window of 1 week. Due to the position of the site, the buildings had to be reversed off Bussel Highway during the peak school holiday period and required a full traffic management plan. The trees surrounding the area and tight install space called for precise maneuvering of both the crane and building modules. Due to the limited timeframe the entire install and complexing process had to run extremely smoothly in order for us to achieve the client’s strict handover deadline.

Overview:
In 2018, Modular WA was successfully awarded the tender for the supply and installation of five staff houses for the Shire of Wiluna. The township of Wiluna is located in the North-Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia, approximately 800 kilometres from Perth. The staff housing will be used by the Shire of Wiluna to accommodate a number of permanent employees in housing that is specifically designed for the harsh environment in this remote region of Western Australia.

Scope of Works:
The project included the custom design, construction, transportation and site installation of the 5 homes. Work on site in Wiluna included earthworks, service connections, concrete paths and driveways, site built carports, fencing and landscaping.

Features:
The 3 bedroom 2 bathroom homes showcase modern interiors and functional spaces. The home design and construction used materials and fixtures that will help ensure they are easy to maintain. This included the selection of external wall and roof cladding materials and colours that suit the harsh environment of the North-Eastern Goldfields.  The main bathroom of each home includes design features to improve access and external doors and windows were fitted with security screens to provide maximum security and comfort.

Solutions:
