They can be single classrooms, teaching blocks, or other public sector buildings such as offices and storage. ### Who it's for This service is for schools, nurseries, colleges, local authorities and other public sector bodies that need extra space, as part of our broader public sector and commercial work. ### When you need it Consider steel frame classrooms when pupil numbers are growing, when temporary units need replacing, or when a build must fit around term times and holidays. ### Why professional help matters Education buildings must be safe, accessible, warm, well lit and acoustically suitable for teaching, and they are usually built on a live site. Careful design, approvals and site management matter. We handle design, planning and building control. The cost of getting it wrong ## What Happens WhenIt's Left or Done Badly Delaying new teaching space, or building it badly, affects pupils and staff every day. ### Overcrowding Too few rooms means larger classes, shared spaces and timetabling compromises. ### Ageing temporary units Temporary classrooms can become cold, damp and costly to maintain. ### Disruption on a live site Long traditional builds mean noise, deliveries and restricted areas for months during term. ### Missed deadlines Space not ready for the start of term forces difficult short-term arrangements. ### Common mistakes we see - Starting too late to fit approvals and build before a new term. - Specifying temporary buildings for a permanent need. - Overlooking acoustics and daylight in teaching spaces. - Not planning safe separation between site works and pupils.

Planning your project ## What to KnowBefore You Start ### Safe Working on School Grounds Pupil safety comes first. We agree site boundaries, delivery times, access routes and working hours with the school before starting, and keep construction traffic separate from pupils and staff. ### Fitting Around the School Calendar Holidays are the best time for disruptive work. Because steel frame closes in quickly, more of the noisy work can be concentrated into those windows, with quieter internal works carried out afterwards. ### Robust, Low-Maintenance Finishes Classrooms take heavy daily use. Wall finishes, flooring, doors and joinery are chosen to stand up to that use and be easy to keep clean and repair. ### Accessibility and Welfare Level access, suitable door widths and accessible toilets are planned into the design and checked through building control, so the building works for every pupil, teacher and visitor. ### Replacing Temporary Units Many schools rely on temporary classrooms that were meant to be short term. Replacing them with a permanent steel frame building gives a warmer, quieter, better lit room that is designed to current regulations and does not need ongoing hire or repair. The old unit can be removed and the new building positioned to make better use of the site. ### What to Have Ready for Your Survey You don't need drawings to get started. It helps to know roughly what you want the steel frame classrooms project to achieve, any deadline that matters to you, and whether you already have plans, planning consent or a budget in mind. We'll take it from there, measure up and advise on the best approach for your site. ### How Your Quote Is Built Your quote is based on the survey and the design, not a generic price list. It sets out the scope, what is included, what you may choose to supply yourself and a programme from approvals to handover, so you can compare it properly and budget with confidence. ### Steel Frame vs Traditional Construction Traditional masonry relies on wet trades that stop in bad weather and need time to dry. A light gauge steel frame arrives made to size, goes up straight and square, and lets the building close in sooner. It is lighter on foundations, does not rot, shrink or warp, and our frames are made from 70% recycled steel. ### Planning and Building Control Whether your project needs full planning permission, falls under permitted development or only needs building control approval depends on its size, use and location. We check at survey stage and handle the applications and sign-off on your behalf. FAQ ## Steel Frame ClassroomsQuestions Answered Not covered here?

Your quote includes a programme so you can plan around key dates. ### Do you handle planning for school buildings? Yes. We manage planning applications and building control sign-off. ### Are steel frame classrooms permanent? Yes. They are permanent buildings designed and built to current building regulations. ### Do you work with public sector clients? Yes. Classrooms are part of our broader public sector and commercial offering. ### How long will a steel frame classroom last? A steel frame classroom is a permanent building. Galvanised steel does not rot, warp, shrink or attract pests, so the structure stays sound for the long term. The external cladding, roofing and internal finishes are chosen for durability and low maintenance under heavy daily use, and the building is designed and signed off to current building regulations like any other permanent school building. ### How do I get started?
