Education
Safe, compliant buildings for the people least able to look after themselves.
Education facilities carry an unusual combination: the highest possible duty of care, and often the oldest building stock. A single campus can run a 1960s block, a portable classroom and a new science wing, each with entirely different systems and compliance profiles.
Add large numbers of students moving in fixed patterns, evacuation procedures that have to work with young children, and constrained budgets set by a calendar you don't control. The maintenance task looks quite different to a commercial building.
The upside is the calendar itself. Term breaks give genuine windows to do work properly.
Detection and alarm systems, sprinklers and extinguishers, emergency and exit lighting, fire doors and egress paths, maintained to AS 1851 with records supporting your Annual Essential Safety Measures Report.
Fire / ESM servicesClassroom heating, cooling and ventilation, air quality in teaching spaces, plant across mixed-age buildings, plus fire mode and damper testing.
Mechanical / HVAC servicesSwitchboard maintenance, RCD testing, test and tagging across classrooms, labs and workshops, lighting upgrades and power for new equipment.

Anything intrusive gets scheduled into term breaks. During term, attendances are planned around class timetables and kept out of teaching spaces wherever possible, with technicians who understand campus protocols.
Education budgets are set annually and rarely flexible. Our condition reporting tells you what's approaching end of life and roughly when, so capital requests go in before something fails rather than after, when the money isn't there.
Yes, and we'd recommend it. Term breaks are where we plan plant replacement, major servicing and any work affecting occupied spaces.
Yes, with one program and consolidated reporting across every site in the group.
