We transform empty shells into extraordinary learning environments through our comprehensive educational fit-out services. Whether you’re a school trust preparing new facilities, a consultant with existing specifications, or an educational institution
seeking a bespoke learning environment, we craft complete solutions tailored precisely to your specific requirements. Our expertise spans both CAT A and CAT B fit-outs, allowing us to support clients at any stage of their educational facility development journey.
For education property managers and governing bodies, we provide comprehensive design development and specification of all base building elements to maximise educational potential and investment value. For consultants and project managers, we offer precise technical execution to bring educational specifications to life while ensuring compliance with DfE guidelines and safety regulations.
Our CAT A services deliver complete mechanical and electrical installations including education-appropriate HVAC systems, lighting, power distribution, and building management systems. We install high-quality flooring solutions, ceiling systems, and develop core facilities essential to modern learning environments.
Our CAT B services include complete educational space division solutions with classroom designs, laboratory spaces, flexible learning areas, and specialised floor finishes. We implement tailored lighting schemes to enhance concentration and learning, power and data infrastructure for educational technology, and integrated systems essential for today’s teaching experience.
We deliver interiors that align with institutional identities, from wall treatments to wayfinding graphics, and handle all furniture and equipment installation to create engaging learning journeys through classrooms, libraries, common spaces, and specialised teaching facilities.
For educational trusts seeking to maximise facility value, our process begins with a comprehensive assessment of pedagogical requirements and building potential, followed by strategic specification development that enhances learning outcomes while controlling costs.
For schools and universities requiring comprehensive service, we begin with in-depth consultation to understand your educational philosophy and institutional identity, followed by strategic space planning and creative design development tailored to enhance the learning experience.
For consultants and project managers with established plans, we provide detailed technical analysis, value engineering recommendations, and quality implementation with minimal disruption to teaching environments.
In all cases, we conduct thorough site assessments, prepare or refine construction documentation, secure necessary approvals, and manage the entire educational construction process. We coordinate all trades, handle furniture and equipmentinstallation, system commissioning, and provide thorough handover including training and documentation. Our process ensures educational spaces are delivered to the highest standard, supporting teaching operations while providing flexibility for
curriculum changes and future needs.
