Smart scheduling ensures school kitchens are ready before term starts.

When it comes to schools, timing is everything. Most kitchen projects must be completed outside of term-time, often in just a few weeks. That makes planning and design even more critical.

Understanding the School Calendar

Summer holidays are the prime window for major works, but Easter and Christmas breaks may allow smaller upgrades.
Every day counts — overruns risk disrupting meal service for hundreds of students.

The Importance of Discovery

Early discovery means fewer surprises. By confirming utilities, access, and budget months in advance,
Ovation ensures designs are locked in well before the school holidays begin.

Prefabrication Advantage

Whenever possible, we recommend prefabricating elements off-site. Fabrication carried out in advance reduces on-site disruption
and speeds up installation.

Stakeholder Communication

School boards, bursars, and estates teams all need clear updates. We provide structured documentation so everyone knows the plan.
