The Queensland Fire Department (QFD) required a new Fire & Rescue Station to service the Carbrook area, including training facilities, and delivered under a tight time schedule. PDT Architects were engaged by QBuild and developed the preliminary concept into a workable design, coordinating with stakeholders.

Due to the compressed timeline, the decision was made to use prefabricated components for the station and multi-purpose building, excluding the Engine Bay. This required adjustments in planning and design, collaboration with the prefabrication contractor, and innovative staging processes to ensure on-site work could begin while components were being fabricated.
