Why Are Education Building Surveys Important?

Education building surveys are critical for the safety of teachers, pupils and support staff. A building surveyor can identify issues and risks and ensure compliance with existing regulations to provide better peace of mind for all.

Surveying services for schools can also identify preventative maintenance work early, helping learning providers avoid costly repairs down the line. Likewise, the appraisal could highlight opportunities for upgrades that could be paid for using government funding schemes.

Educational institutions aiming for greater energy efficiency can use surveying services to find suitable solutions too, such as insulation or eco-lighting enhancements.

Frequently Asked Questions About Education Planning Services

  • When do I need a school building condition survey?

    You will usually need to arrange a school building condition survey at least every five years as part of your routine maintenance. However, other reasons for conducting one include:

    • Before a renovation
    • Following structural issues or damage
    • During funding and budget planning

  • How long do education building surveys take?

    No two school buildings are the same, so it can be difficult to provide exact timeframes for your survey. On average, you can expect the following:

    • Small schools – One or two days for the inspection and a few days to write the report
    • Medium to large schools – Three or more days to inspect the premises, with the report taking at least a week to complete

  • What are the benefits of using RICS-accredited surveyors for schools?

    Accuracy and alignment with strict industry standards are the most advantageous reasons to use RICS-accredited surveyors for schools. They can ensure regulatory compliance is met, provide detailed reports and help you prioritise repair work.

    Choosing chartered experts, like the ones here at Eddisons Education, can sometimes support funding applications. Providers often view their surveys as more dependable, potentially making applications more likely to be accepted.
