Good estate management for schools (GEMS) states that effective estate management is a vital component of high-quality education. The positive impact that carefully planned and designed learning environments have, when coupled with inspirational teachers and innovative learning approaches, cannot be underestimated.
This sentiment is entirely shared by the BRAC team.
We are a building and consultancy firm with extensive experience across both primary and secondary education sectors. We understand and appreciate, in detail, the issues that are often identified by the DfE’s self-assessment tools and can provide expert guidance on how to complete your review and move forward with an action plan.
We always take a partnership approach to our work within the education field, providing unrivalled advice and maintaining a focus on remaining within budget.
It is important that students and teachers are provided with the best educational environment in order to both learn and teach effectively.
BRAC is wedded to the belief that every school should be provided with equal opportunity. Every project is different, whether a school build, refurbishment, or renovation, but the end result must be the same: high-quality education facilities that inspire both students and teachers alike to perform their best and realise their full potential.
Ensuring the health and safety of everyone concerned is our number one priority. This is never more important than in a school context and we have a deep appreciation of how these particular projects place health and safety and safeguarding under even greater scrutiny.
BRAC has a huge amount of experience working on construction projects in live school conditions and we use this knowledge to ensure everyone, not least of all young children, remain safe when using the buildings. We also provide bespoke health and safety talks tailored to both pupils and staff to ensure everyone is aware of the dangers of such a project going on at their school.
By partnering with BRAC, you will be provided with far more than just standard construction services.
In addition to assisting in your initial assessment, we can help you prepare grant applications and capital bids; assist you in developing income generation through lettings management; and support with facilities management, including capital projects, buildings maintenance, cleaning, and grounds maintenance.
All this means that working with BRAC not only reduces your costs but, in many cases, creates new income streams and capital receipts.
With a long history of delivering high-quality school construction projects, we truly understand the concerns you’re likely to have around budgetary constraints and limitations.
We are committed to professional consultation and to maintaining a collaborative, open, and honest relationship at all times. By taking this approach, any problem can be flagged up in a timely manner and dealt with quickly and efficiently, ensuring your upgrade is completed with minimal disruption and delivered on time.
