Case Study

Omakere School

When Omakere School required a full redevelopment solution, the priority was clear: maintain a safe, fully operational learning environment while delivering a high-quality outcome - without delays. Interlink Modular was engaged to design, construct, install and manage the temporary facilities required during the redevelopment, delivering a complete end-to-end modular solution valued at $6.5 million.

This project was completed four months earlier than scheduled.

That meant: 

  • Reduced time in temporary classrooms
  • Lower overall project costs
  • Earlier access to permanent facilities
  • Less disruption for students and staff

Early delivery wasn’t incidental - it was the result of integrated design, off-site construction efficiencies and disciplined project management.

From initial design through to installation and hire management, the project was delivered under a single integrated model.

This streamlined approach:

  • Reduced coordination risk
  • Simplified communication
  • Enabled faster decision-making
  • Maintained programme certainty

The school was kept fully informed at every stage, with temporary accommodation actively managed throughout the project lifecycle.

Temporary facilities were purpose-designed to replicate essential school spaces, including:

  • Teaching environments
  • Administration areas
  • Bathroom facilities

The result was a fully operational school environment throughout construction, ensuring continuity of learning from day one.

Quality was a defining feature of the completed project.

“This is the best project I have completed in the MoE in the last seven years.”

- Nick Cottier

The finished facilities reflected the care, attention and construction standards applied throughout delivery.

Delivering within an active school environment requires careful planning and strict safety management.

  • PPE compliance maintained at all times
  • Secure site fencing and access controls
  • Clear separation between construction and school operations

Health and safety performance remained strong throughout the project.

Omakere School demonstrates what’s possible when modular delivery is integrated, accountable and carefully managed. Delivered early, built to a high standard, and executed with certainty - from start to finish.
