  • 🏫Feasibility Studies in School Construction Projects: An Essential First Step 🏫 Effective planning is crucial for any school construction project. A key part of this process is conducting a feasibility study, which assesses various factors to determine the project’s viability. Given the often limited budgets of educational institutions, these studies are vital for informed decision-making, ensuring resources are allocated wisely and minimizing the risk of costly errors that could affect both the learning environment and the annual budget. In our latest blog, we explore the importance of school feasibility studies, what they entail, and how Barker can assist with your next construction project: https://zurl.co/2c3Ce
