Property Group can facilitate the whole commissioning process for schools, help with negotiation of fees and give general advice as the project progresses. There is not a fee for this.

Schools who approach the framework consultants privately or consultants who are not on KCC approved lists, will need to arrange their own commissioning arrangements, negotiation of fees and remain responsible for ensuring the correct core policies in connection with construction work are adhered to.

All the consultants have been fully vetted and their performance in key areas (such as performance, quality, health and safety, timescales and budgetary control) is regularly monitored to ensure stringent criteria are met.
