Case Studies:
Further Education Colleges provide a rich and diverse choice of courses to a very cosmopolitan range of students. It goes without saying that to complement a high standard of teaching an equivalent level of facilities and student accommodation is required.
Through association with a number of colleges Metcalfe Briggs Surveyors have built an understanding of the needs of Further Education colleges.
Typical questions raised include:
- What is the condition of your property assets at present?
- To what condition should you maintain them in the future?
- Is alteration, adaptation or new-build feasible on your site?
- Do you need professional assistance with major repairs or alterations?
- Do you have adequate record drawings?
- Do you have defects in your buildings or problems with insurance renewals?
- Do you have problems with neighbouring sites or Party Walls?
The projects Metcalfe Briggs Surveyors has completed and the experience gained allows us to answer these questions. Our aim is to provide solutions that will optimise the condition and use of your facilities.
If you are looking to expand your teaching accommodation we can offer professional advice at all stages; concept, budgeting, design, procurement, construction and completion.
The roofs of this Grade II* listed mansion were of very high specification but the leadwork had reached the end of its useful life and had been patched numerous times. The future of the building was uncertain so Metcalfe Briggs Surveyors produced a minimum expenditure maintenance.
