  • Project Establishment: From initial academic brief to project governance and approval paperwork, we guide you through every stage of capital project development.

  • Ensuring Statutory Compliance: Reviewing the records you already hold, auditing against the latest statutory guidance and producing simple, clear, reports that will illustrate compliance for senior management.

  • Post-VAT Imposition Planning: Navigating the financial intricacies after VAT changes for Independent Schools.

  • Maintenance Planning: Ensuring buildings are safe and sustainable in the modern era, balancing the cost of maintenance with statutory compliance and making sure that the environments for teaching, learning and research are always in the best possible condition.
