Education

The Ontoit team has helped make vital improvements to building facilities and administration operations across primary, secondary and tertiary education levels, improving workspaces and workflows for teachers and students.

Our capability extends across the project lifecycle from strategy, through to delivery and operational asset. We have experience supporting government, private and institutional clients on complex education facilities that range from small to multi-million-dollar projects.

Here at Ontoit we understand the holistic approach that education stakeholders require. We have a proven record delivering solutions that lead to exceptional learning outcomes, complying with pedagogy requirements, and providing asset and non-asset solutions.

Our advisors play vital roles in delivering successful outcomes for government, independent schools, tertiary institutions and community learning precincts for local, state and federal education agencies.

We have a comprehensive understanding of the requirements, policies and processes that are unique to the education sector from project inception through to successful delivery.

 

Committed to effective stakeholder engagement we provide:

  • project management and superintendency services, often working in live operating environments
  • strategy development through to delivery and operational handover
  • business case development, feasibility studies and financial modelling advice on large, complex transactions
  • reliability based investigations, preventative maintenance schedules as well as identifying asset reliability improvements
  • strategies to enhance the learning environment for students, staff and the community
