EDUCATION PROJECTS

 

We help education providers of all types who require good value, high-quality design solutions go from underperforming buildings or sites to achieving well-designed and sustainable projects with the minimum of fuss.

 

We achieve our goals by combining our natural design flair with a technical expertise, supported by our knowledge of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and Building Information Modelling (BIM), enabling us to deliver innovative and aesthetically-pleasing outcomes.

 

Our ever-expanding portfolio of education projects comprises work for Government and privately-funded institutions including Free Schools, Alternative Provision, Further Education, various temporary schools including RAAC replacement buildings and sports facilities. We pride ourselves on our ability to balance high quality design with a pragmatic approach to all education projects, providing varied services at all project stages, either as part of a school, college or university's professional team or as part of a contractor's team in a design and build situation.
