Blakeview Childcare Centre
Delivering a purpose-built childcare centre through an evolving design and construction process
A new two-storey childcare centre at Blakeview under a Design and Construct contract. Accommodating 108 childcare places, the project evolved throughout construction, requiring close collaboration with the client, consultants and subcontractors to incorporate significant design and scope changes.
The project
The project included:
- New 824m² two-storey childcare centre accommodating 108 childcare places
- 660m² car park
- 900m² landscaped ground-level playspace
- 325m² upper-level playspace
- Fire mains upgrade
- Stormwater infrastructure works along a busy arterial road, integrated with an onsite bioretention zone
- Civil works and Main Street infrastructure upgrades
- Modern childcare facilities with indoor and outdoor learning environments
As the project progressed, the design continued to evolve, with over 12 specification changes introduced to improve operational efficiency and increase childcare capacity. These modifications affected multiple trades and building elements, including glazing, joinery, wet areas, landscaping, security systems and signage.
The upper-level playspace required specialist waterproofing detailing, while extensive civil works and service upgrades were undertaken along Main Street in Blakeview to satisfy council requirements. Throughout the project, close collaboration with the client, consultants and subcontractors ensured good coordination for the evolving design while maintaining quality and construction progress.
The childcare centre now provides a purpose-built learning environment with high-quality indoor and outdoor spaces supported by upgraded site infrastructure.
Despite significant design developments throughout construction, Mykra managed cost, procurement and sequencing to deliver the project without compromising quality, often under tight timeframes.
“The handover had minimal downtime and was defect-free. The site is looking fantastic, and the quality of delivery is spot on. Well done, team!”
