National free technical drama consultancy scheme for education
Published:  06 December, 2007

A new scheme will allow schools, colleges and universities the advantage of a free independent technical consultant. Drama by Design has researched difficulties schools have with refurbishing drama or performing arts spaces and has come up with a solution.

This innovative scheme provides education organisations with an independent design and specification, project management, plus quotes from three installation companies on which the consultant makes recommendations as to which offers best value for money. Drama by Design make sure you have the best design to suit your needs within budget. On completion, they independently check the installation to ensure all the equipment quoted has been installed/supplied and work quoted has been carried out to a high standard.

In most cases, a member of school staff is responsible for organising the refurbishment of their drama space. It can be a big responsibility as often this purchase is a major part of the school overall budget. Firstly they have the task of finding three contractors/installation companies who are appropriate for the project. This is more difficult than it sounds, then meetings need to be arranged with each contractor to discuss the school needs then eventually the school will end up with three quotes that could vary substantially in price, design and specification making the decision rather complicated. The project can be handled by a consultant who specialises in education performing arts spaces and you can have this service without paying for it and the school can save time by meeting with just one person.
