The Casper Builders company is well-known for its expertise in building school buildings. We have been providing educational services to schools for many years now, and are the go-to choice when it comes to constructing educational buildings. Casper Builders has built many types of educational institutions, including primary schools, secondary schools, colleges, and universities.
WHAT IS AN EDUCATIONAL BUILDING?
An educational building is any type of school building. Casper Builders provides services for schools that require a new structure to be erected, or an existing structure to be renovated. All current and future projects are handled by our professionals with expertise in the education sector.
BENEFITS OF HAVING AN EDUCATIONAL BUILDING
A new school building can provide students with better facilities than they previously had access to – such as improved sports equipment, more modern technology within classrooms, an increased number of computers per student, etc. It’s also important to note that we will ensure environmental conditions are perfect for learning before beginning construction on the site, which includes eliminating noise pollution from nearby roads or airports (if your school is close enough), ensuring air ventilation is not impeded and taking care to ensure dust does not affect the health of students or teachers.
WHEN IS IT NOT ADVISED TO ERECT AN EDUCATIONAL BUILDING?
Casper Builders has expert staff who are aware that budgets can be tight in school projects, so we advise against overspending on unnecessary features such as extravagant external finishes (like fancy stone cladding), which will ultimately reduce the amount available for other much-needed areas within your new school building – like improved technology for classrooms. We also recommend avoiding overly complex design features, because these tend to lead to high maintenance costs after completion-making them less ideal than simpler designs with lower ongoing running costs post-construction.
FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN PLANNING YOUR EDUCATIONAL BUILDING

For your plan for an educational building to be completed, Casper Builders recommends that you consider the following factors:

  • BUILDING SITE: Is this where your school building will be situated? If not, how do you plan on moving everyone over there (bus or car)? Will it be easily accessible for all students and staff?
  • CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT: Casper Builders suggests that you take into account the size of your student body, and what grade levels they’re in. We also recommend considering whether or not you’ll need to provide for things like playgrounds nearby as well as parking! We encourage school owners to consider access routes when reviewing their educational building plans with us.
  • SAFETY: Will your building need to be fireproofed? Is it possible that any construction workers or visitors will require access to the site? Have you considered what sort of security measures might be needed (alarm systems, lighting)? These are all things Casper Builders can help with.
  • FUNCTION OF THE SPACE: Can all students fit within this area? Are there any specialized activities (music practice, art classes) that will take place on-site regularly? Do you have a designated assembly hall attached to our school building plan? Will certain classrooms be used by different grades at separate times during the day/week/year? These are important factors to consider.
  • REQUIRED PERMISSION: We will guide you through all the necessary paperwork and approvals that are required before work begins on any project which involves constructing a new building to house educational facilities (such as nurseries, primary schools, etc.). If there is already an existing facility that needs converting, Casper Builders can help with this too! We have worked in partnership with Edinburgh’s education boards previously, so we know exactly what they expect when creating their ideal learning environment.
  • THE BUILDING CONTRACTOR: When choosing a school building company, don’t just go for the cheapest quote! You should consider factors like previous work experience and references provided by them, as well as their track record when working within educational buildings in Edinburgh. We are one of Edinburgh’s most trusted commercial contractors who have been providing high-quality products for years. We understand how important it is to provide an educational environment that encourages learning without compromising on safety standards or practicality. Casper Builders can provide you with the best solution for your educational building-whether it is an infant school, nursery, or secondary school.
WHAT IS INVOLVED IN ERECTING AN EDUCATIONAL BUILDING?
Before we erect an educational building, we will first talk to the client and understand what they require from it. We will then use our years of experience in building educational facilities, along with Casper Builders’ expertise in design, planning permission criteria, and work health and safety laws, to create a building that is both functional for its purpose and fully compliant with all necessary regulations, so you can have peace of mind throughout your project.

FAQ

These are some questions we often get asked, so here are the answers to some of them:

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A SCHOOL BUILDING?

Erecting a school requires permission from the local council. We have extensive experience of obtaining this for both pre-existing schools and new builds, so it’s business as usual throughout your project with us. The only thing that may be slightly different is that you will need to provide us with an education facility report which outlines how many children are expected at the school daily, whether there are any special requirements such as playgrounds or storage required etc., but even then, we can handle all of this for you!

WHAT ARE THE FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED IN THE DESIGN OF A SCHOOL BUILDING?

It depends on where you live, but a rule of thumb is that if it’s warmer outside than inside, then the AC shouldn’t be set below 74 degrees Fahrenheit.

WHAT IMPROVEMENTS AND MAINTENANCE OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS ARE IMPORTANT?

There are many elements of school buildings that require improvement and maintenance. We can carry out all tasks, from window replacement to heating system installation. We would advise you on the best course of action for your building depending on its needs, ensuring no unnecessary costs are incurred in future years or any labour requirements left unremedied.
