4. Budget & Specification Considerations
The college aims to complete these works within a defined budget and acknowledges that the highest specification materials and finishes may not be feasible. However, quality and durability remain a priority, and we are seeking to collaborate with a single supplier who can support the college's needs while offering a cost-effective and practical solution.
All works will be undertaken with minimal disruption to college operations, ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations and accessibility standards.
