Building schools more quickly, affordably and sustainably

 

With specialists in cost consultancy, project management, sustainability and facilities management, supported by educationalists, Appleyards is ideally placed to help schools, colleges and universities meet the challenges posed by changes in education policy and reduced levels of capital funding.

With our experience as consultants to Partnership for Schools (PfS) for its Education and Children’s Services Advice and Support Framework we can help you plan, design, create and operate buildings which deliver your educational objectives in the most cost effective manner, focusing capital budget on what's really important. 

We advise designers and contractors on best value solutions. This involves becoming active members of the design team, working closely with architects, and liaising with construction and facilities management teams to develop successful solutions to re-modelling and new school building initiatives. Our consultants provide a valuable interface between the contractorand school, college or university – helping to translate requirements into successful design solutions in all phases of education, including special educational needs. Our approach ensures that we design for flexibility, adaptability, sustainability, inclusion and personalised learning.

We can also help you deliver operational efficiencies through more effective procurement, energy savings, better facilities management and help you identify revenue-generating opportunities like Feed in Tariffs.

If you are considering a review of your estate or a new building project we would be pleased to run a half day workshop with you to consider your options. Please call Clive Ledger on 07738 726312 or email: capitalprojects@appleyards.co.uk
