We will advise which project to bid for and help you create the best submission. Much of our bid writing is done free of charge, giving a very low risk solution to academies who want to apply.
Our team will undertake condition surveys to help you identify the work needed to maintain your estate, how much it might cost and the appropriate funding avenue. The condition survey will also help to identify any building condition issues, compliance deficiencies and maintenance requirements.
We will develop your needs into a brief, apply creative solutions and subject them to a rigorous design process. A feasibility study tests this against the constraints of time, budget, regulations and practicalities to establish the best way forward.
We can assist with the development and implementation of planned maintenance programmes, and the management of your statutory compliance obligations, allowing you to maintain a low operational overhead.
