Urgent capital support (UCS)

WGM Building Consultancy provides specialist building surveying and project management support to schools, academies and multi-academy trusts facing urgent building condition issues. Where critical defects present immediate health and safety concerns or threaten the continued operation of educational facilities, our experienced surveyors can assess the problems, identify appropriate remedial solutions and assist with applications for Urgent Capital Support (UCS) funding.

Urgent Capital Support funding is intended to address exceptional building condition issues that cannot reasonably wait for the next available funding opportunity. WGM can undertake building inspections, investigate structural defects, assess roof failures and other significant building problems, and prepare technical reports, specifications and cost estimates to support funding applications. Our approach focuses on providing clear evidence of the urgency, risks and proposed remedial works.

Following funding approval, our team can provide project management and contract administration services to oversee the necessary building works. From coordinating contractors and monitoring expenditure to managing project programmes and quality, we help schools and academy trusts deliver essential repairs efficiently, restoring safe and functional learning environments while minimising disruption to pupils and staff.
