Redbridge schools
Expertise in Education consultancy
Redbridge Community school, awarded Specialist Sports college status, required expansion of their facilities to accommodate 150 additional pupils in a high quality, modern teaching environment. The project value was £2.5m and comprised new build and refurbishment.
Interserve Consulting was engaged to provide a flexible, multi-disciplinary consultancy service to support a new build site with eight mixed-use classrooms plus the refurbishment of existing facilities.
Professional services include:
- Cost management
- Project management
- Supplier selection and engagement, managing the tender process
- Commercial and risk management
Interserve's experience in the provision of project and cost management services, gained through the delivery of PFI construction contracts, made us a natural choice for Southampton City Council.
Benefits and added value of using Interserve Consulting:
- In-depth understanding of client and contractor commitments under PFI contract enabled stakeholder responsibilities to be clearly defined
- Entire process project-managed for the client
- Smooth and efficient management of project from the outset, delivering to client site constraints (operating in a live environment used continually by children and the public)
- Cost control
- Certainty of delivery through continuity of knowledge – Interserve originally built school
