Our extensive experience of working in the sector enables us to assist you in achieving theoptimum accommodation solution for your learning and ancillary requirements.Curriculum AnalysisWe are able to translate basic functional data such as student numbers; FTEs course type,contact times or equivalent and develop desk top models to inform the design team as toquantum and type of teaching and non teaching space requirementsSpace ModellingWe are able to produce space models that will identify schedules of accommodation detailingteaching, non teaching, administration and infrastructure requirements that can form the basis ofthe design brief. It also facilitates the preparation of a shortfall analysis when comparing themodel against existing accommodation which would then be a key driver for the preparation ofoption appraisals.www.rlb.com

Education | Capability StatementAsset Management AssessmentAs an integral part of any option appraisal we are ableto undertake assessment of the currentaccommodation to advice on its condition, functionalityand suitability to deliver the education services for theforeseeable future. Although the terminology differsdependent upon the age range the principles are thesame. Education establishments need the right numberof spaces of the appropriate size for the learnernumbers and in a condition that will maintain the properworking environment to promote learning.Capacity AssessmentWe can assess the capacity of new or existingestablishments to calculate their physical capacityusually represented by student numbers or equivalent.Site assessment, acquisition and disposalWe have experience of assisting in the process of siteacquisition or disposal. This is a key consideration when considering new build solutions on newor existing sites. We have dealt successfully with Sport England and other agencies to satisfyplanning and other statutory instruments such as those that exist for the protection of playingfields. We have experience of sourcing alternative sites that meet the statutory minimum arearequirements in the case of schools and in the case of Colleges are suitably located adjacent totravel hubs to maintain and grow the student population.Sustainability and 4DCMThe DfES, LSC and HEFC have all published guidance as to how they expect Schools, Collegesand Universities to address their particular Sustainability requirements. These are not whollyreliant upon building design but necessitate a detailed analysis of operational procedures. Wehave experience of providing advice relating to Energy Efficiency to the private sector that isequally relevant to education establishments.The Four Dimensional Cost Model is Rider Levett Bucknall’s unique response to the pressures ofcollaboration, sustainability and the legislation driving energy savings to new levels.The 4DCM is a fully dynamic whole life cost model where all variables can impact on oneanother. The fourth dimension is time.www.rlb.com

Education | Capability StatementThe information is stored in a format that allows similar projects or options to be analysed usingthe same template of logic and pricing. There are approximately 400 variables (but no limit) thatcan be changed. “What if” calculations can be done by changing one, or more, variables byselecting a different “scenario” (group of variables). This gives consistency of approach andenforces a consistent logic and presentational format.The 4DCM can calculate capital allowances, CO² energy and water consumption in addition tothe through life costs you would normally expect. The key is that a detailed through life costbreakdown is available at the inception of a project. This supports design decisions at a veryearly stage with essential sustainability measures in mind.Funding AdviceWe are able to assist you in the process of bidding for funds having successfully assisted LEAsGoverning Bodies and Colleges in securing funding. We also work with a number of Banks andlenders and as such are able to assist in applying for loansBenchmarkingWe can utilise our extensive range of capital lifecycle and FM cost data to assist in benchmarkingor market testing exerciseVAT and Tax AdviceWe can offer specialist tax and VAT advice as part of our specialist services.
