Education Surveys

We recognise that the education sector in this region is challenging and very competitive. Education facilities need to be safe spaces and have the appearance of being well managed, in order to attract students. Asset condition plays a huge part in this. The better quality the condition of the asset, the more favourably parents and students will look upon the school or university. Due to the highly competitive nature of this sector, it is vital that there is a comprehensive asset strategy in place which incorporates robust financial planning. Our specialised education surveys will provide valuable information on physical condition, statutory compliance, safety, space utilisation and suitability, all of which will strengthen the effectiveness of the asset strategy. In addition to collecting our own condition data, we will assess your deferred maintenance activities, to help formulate a capital expenditure plan that utilises schools’ funds efficiently, whilst maintaining the quality of your facilities.
