The brief

A live campus of
800+ students.

Northcross Intermediate needed additional teaching space and refurbishment of existing classrooms — on a busy campus running at full capacity during term. MoE required zero interruption to teaching, full separation of construction traffic from the student population, and all noisy works managed to a strict plan.

The brief
How we delivered

Loud works to breaks.
Fitout in term.

As main contractor, we sequenced the programme around the school calendar. Demolition, framing, and panel lifts were pushed into the two-week school holiday blocks. Interior fitout, painting, and ceiling works ran during term under a strict noise-management plan. Temporary teaching spaces kept every class on site throughout.

How we delivered
