Education Consultancy Partnership Ltd

We believe that teachers and students should be able to focus on what matters most—education—without being held back by the condition of their buildings. At Education Consultancy Partnership (ECP), we dedicate our entire practice to the education sector, ensuring that school leaders have a trusted partner to navigate the complexities of estate management.

Our mission is to provide vibrant, safe, and sustainable learning environments that foster growth and facilitate excellence in the classroom.

Why Education Leaders Partner With Us

We aren't generalists. We understand the unique logistical challenges of working on a live school site, from the strict requirements of safeguarding to the narrow windows of holiday periods for construction.

Securing Your School’s Future Through Funding

Navigating the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) or School Condition Allocation (SCA) can be a daunting process. We have a proven track record of helping Multi-Academy Trusts and standalone schools secure the vital funding they need.

We offer an expert no-win-no-fee support model for CIF bids. We handle the heavy lifting—from initial surveys and evidence gathering to design, tender, and final delivery—ensuring your bid is robust, evidence-based, and compliant.

Led by Industry Experts

Our practice is built on the combined expertise of our two directors, who remain actively involved in every project we undertake:

• Andrew Southey BA(hons) Dip Arch RIBA: A Chartered Architect with over two decades of experience. Andrew has a deep passion for education design, having delivered projects across the UK for primary, secondary, and independent schools.
• Andrew Davies MSc MRICS: A Chartered Surveyor with 16+ years of experience. Andrew is a specialist in winning funding bids and managing large-scale refurbishments, from roof replacements to complex structural defect repairs.

A Comprehensive Approach to Estate Management

Whether you are dealing with the immediate challenge of RAAC surveys and defect diagnosis or planning a long-term Decarbonisation and Sustainability strategy, we provide the technical expertise to see it through.

Our team includes architects, surveyors, CAD technicians, and CDM partners. This multi-disciplinary approach means we can take a project from a simple feasibility study through to a completed new build or extension, acting as your Principal Designer to ensure every health and safety regulation is met with precision.
