Education

HKL Special Projects has established a strong track record in the education sector – delivering facade, cladding, render and roofing packages across schools, colleges and universities.

Our most distinctive education specialism is summer holiday facade remediation: we have completed multiple school facade and cladding replacement projects within the six-week summer window – where the building must be ready for pupils returning in September – and we have never missed that deadline.

Delivering within a tight window requires a level of programme discipline that goes beyond typical construction management – materials must be procured and fabricated in advance, labour must be confirmed and committed and the sequence must be planned to the day before a single scaffold goes up.

We work closely with schools, local authorities and main contractors to plan summer remediation projects early, building in the lead times and contingencies that a non-negotiable handover date demands.

Our Constructionline Platinum accreditation, FIRAS approval and group safety record give education procurement teams the assurance they need – and our experience on occupied school sites means we understand the duty of care that working in and around educational buildings requires.
