Annandale Childcare Refurbishment
SCE completed a childcare centre refurbishment in Annandale within the two-week Christmas shutdown across December 2018 and January 2019. The project combined fencing, painting, electrical works, playground equipment, decluttering and carpentry, including a new kitchen and storage.
LocationAnnandale, NSW
SectorChildcare and education
Project periodDecember 2018–January 2019
Delivery windowTwo-week Christmas shutdown
A coordinated upgrade across the childcare centre
The refurbishment extended beyond the kitchen shown in the project photographs. SCE delivered a coordinated package of internal and external works supporting the centre's day-to-day use, including new kitchen and storage facilities, playground equipment and fencing.
The short shutdown required several trades and work areas to be managed together. Children's safety requirements, public holidays and the neighbouring church and residences were central delivery considerations.

Delivering within the Christmas shutdown
SCE completed the works within the two-week Christmas break, managing the programme around shutdown conditions and public holidays. This brought construction planning, trade coordination and the centre's operational timetable into the same delivery programme.
The team managed noise and disruption with consideration for the neighbouring church and residents. Safety remained a priority throughout the childcare refurbishment, and the project was completed without a reported incident.
The completed result
The centre received the agreed refurbishment within its shutdown window. The new kitchen and storage are shown in the before-and-after photographs, alongside the wider fencing, electrical, painting and playground work completed by SCE.
The client was satisfied with the team's performance and the finished works. Delivering the project within a restricted window while managing the surrounding community demonstrates the practical value of experienced construction management in an education setting.
