Value engineering a £4.4m extension to a working school
Location: Bransholme, Hull
Sector: Education
Project value: £4.4m
Shard Stone's role: Quantity surveying
A standalone three-storey extension behind an existing secondary school, adding 150 places with 12 classrooms and a new dining area, built while the school stayed fully operational. The scheme had to be significantly value engineered.
What Shard Stone Delivered
Quantity surveying was Shard Stone’s role, with significant value engineering at the centre of it.
The Outcome
150 additional places in a building designed to match the existing school, rated BREEAM Very Good.
The test of value engineering isn’t what comes out of the cost plan. It’s what the building still delivers.
