Galliford Try delivers a full facilities management service to 11 schools across Birmingham accommodating over 6,000 students under a 30 year Private Finance Initiative contract. The services include 24/7 emergency response, repairs, maintenance, grounds maintenance, caretaking, cleaning and life-cycle management through a directly employed labour force.
We work closely with the schools' management teams to ensure that life-cycle investment is used to target problem areas rather than following a standard forward replacement plan. In this way, the schools see an increased benefit from their investment and we are able to most efficiently maintain the systems and fabric whilst ensuring that the buildings remain aesthetically pleasing.
Perry Beeches School saw this benefit when our team brought forward the replacement of flooring. The original carpets were badly soiled by chewing gum which had proved extremely difficult and costly to remove through the cleaning regime. The carpet was replaced with robust vinyl flooring which will be much easier and most cost-effective to clean and maintain.
