Building relationships, delivering value 

We have established lasting relationships with our education sector clients by truly understanding and meeting their building and construction needs. This is underpinned by clients having direct access to one of our experienced and qualified surveyors.  Having the same senior person as your main point of contact helps build trust as well as continuity of knowledge of your building assets. This in turn enables us to provide the best advice at every stage of your property life cycle as well as deliver projects on brief, on time and on budget.

Testimonial

“We had to prepare and construct additional facilities, within two terms, to accommodate a child with severe and profound needs. The initial task seemed totally overwhelming, however Hookway took on the role of project managing the nearly £100,000 extension and enabled school life to continue with very few changes. ”

“Everyone at Hookway has been great to work with. They have worked closely with us to ensure that every last detail has been agreed and implemented. Thank you - we look forward to working with you again!”
