How We Service the Education Sector
Advocacy and Connections
We have a deep understanding of sport and appreciate the value that sport can bring to schools and education establishments. We work with schools and universities to drive participation, enhance environments and provide added value to standards.
Facility Feasibility
Understanding how to develop facilities for the next generation of users is critical for all levels of education, and should be dependent on a detailed understanding of:
- Community needs – through comprehensive consultation
- Stakeholder consultation – to assist in priority development
- Design and sustainability – to create functional facilities that are cost-effective and have a small environmental footprint
- Business case – to ensure the facility’s whole-of-life costs and management costs are within budget
- Facility type – includes indoor and outdoor facilities
Sports Surfaces
The global recognition for our work in the strategic planning, design, procurement, and management of sports surfaces has allowed us to complete more projects than all of our contemporaries combined. We provide a ‘One Stop Shop’ with engineers, surveyors, and landscape architects.
With over $200 million worth of projects over the past 15 years across Australia we bring the latest global knowledge and design to projects. This includes embracing the latest environmental sustainability principles into the design, procurement and management of the fields of play.
