Estate-wide insight across diverse assets
EDGE undertook detailed Condition Surveys and Lifecycle Modelling for eight secondary schools across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. The estate ranged from early 18th century buildings to early 21st century facilities, including one of the largest secondary schools in the UK. Surveys provided consistent, comparable data to inform estate strategy and prioritisation.
Responsive delivery in sensitive, live environments
Working across multiple live operational sites, EDGE coordinated surveys around occupied teaching spaces, safeguarding requirements and multiple stakeholders. Delivery took place during a challenging period influenced by Brexit and the Covid pandemic, requiring flexibility, clear communication and pragmatic problem solving to maintain programme momentum and minimise disruption to schools.
Supporting long-term planning and value
As a local partner with national coverage, EDGE engaged regional and specialist supply chains to support timely maintenance plan production. Survey outputs enabled proactive engagement with specialist consultants, reducing delays and improving certainty. The programme delivered robust asset data to support future capital planning, risk management and best value decision-making across the Trust’s estate.
