Estate Surveying & Compliance
Understanding your estate and maximising its potential
Gathering data and information about your estate is the fundamental first step in strategic estate planning and decision making.
We provide a wide range of surveys to help manage education estates effectively. From conditions surveys, to understand the condition of your estate and to prioritise capital budgets, to health and safety audits to ensure you are meeting all of your statutory requirements.
Our surveys are designed specifically for the education sector, capturing the most relevant information delivered in reports which align with Department for Education (DfE) specifications.
We ensure minimal disruption while surveys are carried out and the results will be analysed and delivered with clear findings and practical recommendations. Together we can identify the most effective solutions to your estate challenges.
For more information on how we can support your school, college, academy or MAT, please call 0116 5070130 or email enquire@s2e.org.uk.
