In the UK alone, we have £1 billion of schools being delivered currently, with 17 of the top 20 universities trusting us to manage their projects.

We offer advice on projects from early appraisal, funding and master planning stage through to delivery and managing building efficiency – saving clients money in both the short and long term. Our expertise spans:

Our team is well versed in adapting our thinking to diverse funding and asset management plans, and incorporating the unique numerous considerations that can impact the design, functionality and maintenance of an education scheme.

By identifying and prioritising key drivers, such as environmental standards or quality research facilities, we ensure everyone stays focused throughout construction and beyond. We also help to manage the stakeholder engagement that is so crucial to a scheme’s success.
