Our team has an excellent understanding of the unique demands of working with schools and trusts and we are committed to securing the best possible outcomes for children and young people through delivering safe, sustainable, suitable and sufficiently sized learning environments.
Condition Surveys and Estate Surveys
Regular condition surveys help assess the physical state and level of deterioration of your buildings and site, enabling you to plan appropriate maintenance strategies and accurate capital investment. A comprehensive condition survey is recommended at least every five years to underpin your Estate Strategy and Asset Management Plan while also meeting the DfE School Estate Management Standards (SEMS) which require that you have up-to-date data on your school or college buildings and estate.
Capital Funding
We have extensive experience of supporting schools and trusts in using their estates strategy and condition survey evidence to enable capital funding applications – and in the strategic prioritisation, delivery, reporting and monitoring of funding once secured.
Feasibility, Design and Project Management
We are specialists in the delivery of capital projects for the education sector, ranging from small refurbishments and building component replacements to major extensions and new builds. Our multi-disciplinary teams work from project feasibility and inception through design and procurement stages to overseeing delivery on-site.
Health, Safety and Compliance
We deliver practical and proportionate health and safety solutions that support schools and trusts at every stage of their estate’s projects. From fulfilling CDM and Principal Designer duties to guiding clients through the latest Building Safety Act requirements in addition to providing operational health and safety advice, we tailor our services to meet your specific needs and risk profile.
Decarbonisation and Energy Efficiency
We offer specialist advice to support our school and trust clients in their journey towards decarbonisation, working with specialist partners to offer step-by-step guidance tailored to each client’s specific decarbonisation and energy needs.
