Built around the way schools work.

School projects involve more than great design. Funding and procurement, stakeholder expectations, Australian Standards, site safety and the needs of an operating school all influence what can be delivered and how.

Our proven delivery systems bring these considerations into the process from the beginning. Each environment is selected and prepared with the school’s site, priorities, budget, approvals and delivery requirements in mind.

ULP then coordinates planning, compliance, procurement, construction and handover through one experienced team, giving schools a clearer process and one point of accountability from selection to completion.
