The comprehensive renewal of buildings is the largest single expenditure in the lifetime of most colleges.

With the estate now recognised as vital to the ambitions of the FE sector, capital spend on asset renewal is approaching £300 million. Funding remains stretched in a highly competitive arena.

Davis Langdon is a leading provider of services to the FE sector, enhancing the delivery of a diverse range of projects. We understand what drives successful funding applications, and our expertise is recognised by the Learning and Skills Council (LSC). We skilfully navigate the varied routes to additional funding, exploring alternative sources - regional development agencies, land sales and debt financing - to secure the required minimum 65% of capital costs.

Market demands combine with competing and fast changing curriculum needs to complicate the process. As projects proceed, initial briefings often need review and change. We understand the unique pressures facing our FE clients, offering cogent and proactive guidance. Our enviable track record, sound sector knowledge, and ability to innovate have led to trusted and fruitful client relationships – ensuring first class facilities that match the aspirations of today’s discerning students.
