Saltair Trusted Education Partner

At Saltair, we believe great learning happens in great spaces. As a leading modular construction partner for schools, kindergartens, sporting facilities, change rooms, and student amenities across Queensland and Northern NSW, we’re proud to help educational communities thrive through smarter, faster, and more adaptable building solutions.

The evolution of prefabrication has transformed modular construction into one of the most efficient and sustainable ways to build in the education sector. Gone are the days of “demountables” — today’s modular facilities rival traditional builds in design, comfort, and quality while delivering unmatched speed and flexibility.
Building Smarter for Tomorrow’s Learners

Saltair’s modular buildings are digitally designed and precision-built off-site in controlled factory environments, ensuring quality, consistency, and protection from weather delays. Every element is planned in detail before reaching the factory floor, allowing for smoother delivery, faster timelines, and exceptional finishes.

This process also means that installation can be completed outside of school hours or during term breaks, ensuring minimal disruption to students and staff. When learning resumes, new facilities are ready to use - complete, safe, and inspiring.

Experience You Can Rely On

Saltair’s education project management team brings decades of combined experience delivering complex school and tertiary projects across Queensland. Many of our team members have worked directly with the Queensland Department of Education, giving us a strong understanding of site logistics, safety standards, and delivery schedules within active campuses.

We’re proud to be pre-approved on the Department of Education Supply Panel, making procurement simple and streamlined for schools. From concept through to completion, Saltair manages every detail with transparency, communication, and care.

Modular Delivery, Maximised Efficiency

Our modular approach reduces on-site work, shortens construction timelines, and minimises disruption. This not only lowers costs and waste but also ensures school communities remain safe and operational throughout the process.

Because modules are built and finished off-site, they can be delivered and installed quickly, often within hours, resulting in modern, high-quality facilities that are ready for immediate use.

Growing With You

To meet increasing demand for new learning spaces, Saltair has expanded its operations with a second manufacturing facility in South Brisbane, complementing our Coolum Beach site. With greater capacity and a skilled in-house team, we can deliver more projects faster, from regional kindergartens to large, multi-storey campus buildings.

Introducing the Saltair Education Catalogue

Supporting our commitment to smarter school design, Saltair has launched its Education Catalogue, a comprehensive guide showcasing modular building solutions tailored for schools, early learning centres, and education facilities nationwide.

The catalogue highlights designs that can be customised to suit each school’s teaching style, community, and space requirements. From kindergarten buildings and collaborative learning hubs to change rooms and amenities, every solution is crafted to meet the needs of modern education.

Importantly, Saltair offers options for both purchase and hire, providing flexibility for schools facing shifting enrolments, evolving programs, or short-term space requirements. This adaptable approach allows education providers to scale up or down with ease, ensuring every project remains cost-effective and fit for purpose.

“Every school has its own identity, its own challenges, and its own ambitions,” says Steve Bridger, Managing Director of Saltair. “The Education Catalogue is about giving decision-makers clarity and confidence - showing what’s possible, then tailoring it perfectly for their students and staff.”
