In terms of managing costs, our cost consultants at Franklin + Andrews have extensive experience in the full spectrum of education projects in both public and private sectors from minor school refurbishments and extensions to construction of new buildings or entire campuses.

We’re providing full cost management services from inception to completion for the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology’s new Enterprise CentreWe draw on the traditional disciplines of quantity surveying including quantification, estimating, construction economics, procurement and contractual issues combining these with benchmarking against similar products, tailored procurement advice, risk and value management plus a sound commercial and analytical approach. We fully understand the complexities of each project, appreciating their differing requirements and priorities. For example extensions and refurbishments must take account of the need to maintain a working learning environment with continuing access for staff, pupils and other stakeholders.
