analysis
for local people and benefitting not only school children but their families and neighbours. Building in value was vital for the
London Borough of Hounslow, which needed to keep to strict budgets and timescales throughout the programme – and this needed to be balanced with the requirement to deliver high quality new teaching and learning spaces. As well as looking at ways to save
money on the actual build costs – through developing a standardised palette of materials and considering various modern methods of construction – Pick Everard worked with the client to provide construction solutions that will deliver value through greater longevity and reduced maintenance during the whole building life. This was most clearly demonstrated
when initial plans proposed an extension to Hounslow Town Primary School but, upon examining the project in further detail, it was identified that a new build
scheme on an adjacent site would actually offer better value and provide a long- term solution to pupil provision for the local authority. Not only did this mean that the school
could be delivered with less disruption, but it also acted as a catalyst for further projects, including a brand new music centre for the community to use.
Pick Everard is working with the London
Borough of Hounslow into 2020, completing an estimated £120m of school projects across the borough. It is expected that this second phase will be completed in September 2020.
