Education

At Pulse Consult, we’re education experts, empowering schools, academies, trusts and universities to develop inspiring estates, fit for the future. From funding and contracts to fit-out and aftercare, we’re a RICS-registered team with specialist sector knowledge.

Achieving your ambitions

It’s always a privilege to be part of education construction projects, and we’ve earned an outstanding track record for delivering positive, practical learning environments for a diverse portfolio of clients.

From new school buildings to university estate master planning, we combine a deep appreciation of the sector and its stakeholders with a proactive, hands-on approach. In fact, we’ll often start by basing ourselves within your offices, getting first-hand experience of your challenges and building strong relationships with your team.

From there, our project managers and cost consultants pave the way for a successful, smooth-running project – managing budgets and timelines, procuring suppliers, monitoring progress and delivering bespoke learning environments that are best in class.

Pulse have been a valuable extension of our Estates team… a strong management approach to getting results whilst balancing the need for stakeholder engagement and detail in cost planning schemes.

Why Pulse?

Optimising your entire estate

Whether you’re creating a new school building or modernising an ageing (or even listed) university estate, we’re here to help. With extensive experience of strategic master planning, we’ll assess your needs, evaluate your assets and make sure you’ve got all the flexibility, efficiency and digital capability you require, long into the future.

Securing & maximising funding

However complex your construction project, we’re here to build strong foundations that keep it on track, every step of the way. We’ll engage stakeholders from the start, set realistic schedules and budgets, proactively manage risk, help you secure funding and put effective, value-added systems in place, including robust procurement processes and watertight contracts.

Hitting your sustainability targets

We know the education sector is under increasing pressure to create more sustainable, environmentally responsible learning environments. Our team has vast experience in sensitively upgrading ageing campuses and listed buildings, raising clients’ green credentials and implementing strategies to reduce carbon impact.

Ensuring compliance & governance

With an in-depth understanding of the governance and regulatory standards required in the education sector, including DfE guidelines, we’re here to make sure you achieve compliance. We’ll also apply rigorous safeguarding from start to finish, managing logistics to get your project safely delivered, without impacting your learners.

Delivering exceptional environments

From pre to post-construction, we’ll meticulously manage your project to bring you high quality learning environments that more than meet your needs. As well as giving you the size and flexibility to deliver a diverse curriculum, adopt a multi-academic approach and keep on evolving, we’ll minimise your repair, maintenance and energy costs for the future.
