Getting Ready for the School Holiday Construction Rush

When the final bell rings for the school year, many construction teams are just getting started. The summer holidays present a crucial, and often narrow, window for schools, colleges and universities to carry out vital refurbishments, upgrades and extensions. But with just a few weeks to work with, speed, safety and seamless coordination are everything.

At Multitech Site Services, we support education sector clients in delivering high-pressure, time-sensitive construction projects with confidence. If you’re gearing up for this year’s school holiday construction rush, here’s what you need to consider, and how we can help.

Why Summer is Peak Time for Education Projects
Schools and colleges often schedule major works over the summer to minimise disruption to learning. That makes July and August some of the busiest months in the calendar for contractors working in the education sector. From electrical upgrades and boiler replacements to new builds and classroom refits, every project needs to be meticulously planned – especially when working to tight deadlines.

Temporary Site Services That Keep Things Moving
Multitech provides professional, reliable temporary site services that make your setup fast, safe and fully compliant. Our support includes:

  • Temporary power distribution and electrics
  • NICEIC-certified electrical testing
  • Site lighting and safety signage
  • Design and planning from our in-house team
  • Environmental solutions to minimise waste and emissions

We know that in the education sector, timelines are non-negotiable, so we build in flexibility, backup solutions and rapid response where needed.

Plan Early, Avoid Delays
Early engagement with our team means we can work with you on detailed design, logistics, and scope adjustments before term ends. That way, everything’s ready to go the moment the gates close. We’ll liaise with your team or principal contractor to ensure our services integrate seamlessly with your broader schedule.

Safety First, Always
School sites require heightened attention to safety, even during holiday periods. All our engineers are NICEIC qualified, and we follow strict health and safety procedures from setup through to completion. Whether working in a primary school or a university campus, we deliver with professionalism and minimal disruption.

If you’re planning refurbishment or construction work over the summer break, now’s the time to get your temporary site services locked in. Our calendar fills up quickly in the lead-up to July, and early coordination helps us deliver the fast, smooth service we’re known for.
