School holidays are the perfect time for building works, maintenance and repairs.
But does this headache sound familiar?
Ugh! A project management nightmare no one should have to suffer!!!
Find out how a One Stop Shop will solve your problems...
Your building maintenance schedule combines your short, medium and long term plans. This is a standard list of 'every day' jobs but, as most Responsible Persons in schools know, the list doesn't stop growing!
This can be due to:
Having a long list of jobs that need doing is bad enough. Finding suitable contractors to do the jobs adds a whole new layer of stress to the situation.
They need to work to spec and with regard to the regulations and laws involved. You also need them to finish on time and within budget... nobody wants ladders and power tools around when the pupils return! And nobody wants to explain to the Head and Chair of Governors why the project wasn't completed on time.
When you're considering contractors, make sure they tick all these boxes...
That will assure you that they're fit to do the tasks and not about to go bust or disappear mid-job.
You then need to arrange a site survey with each of them and wait for their different quotes to get a total. Oh, and hope they can all work together on site when you need them to!
Cue the headache...
