Switched on electrical projects

Before you begin a building or refurbishment project for an educational institute, you will already have addressed some vital criteria. The project has to have a demonstrable benefit to the students. Whether they are three years old or thirty, it's the outcome for your students that determines much of the value and detail of your project.

Our projects principally tackle the refurbishment or new build of teaching or administration facilities. These have a direct impact on student life and learning, however, we add further value by advising on innovative, green or cost effective products and solutions for internal and external lighting, security, data cabling and fire safety.

Timetabling your project

Student and staff safety and access is another key criteria. Can your project be delivered within holiday times when fewer staff, if any, need access to the premises? We advise headteachers and school business manager on ways to organise and schedule work to suit your school's timing requirements.

A well-designed electrical installation makes all the difference to the final cost of your project, now and in the future. Our professional team of qualified electricians ensure that your projects are completed to the highest quality and safety standards on time and on budget.

Tried and trusted

Project managers and client representatives in the education sector are required to account for the success of maintenance, refurbishment and new build projects. We understand that there is no time or flexibility for overrunning a project or not delivering the full specification.

We have extensive experience of working on minor and major projects in schools, colleges and universities across East Kent and work with some of the leading contractors in the education sector.

We were recommended to use Murray & Jones by our QS for a new office development. It was important to us that the overall fit out and move to our new office was completed on time, on budget and to a high standard. We have clients that come to visit us so projecting the right image is very important in both we do and the environment we work in. We needed an electrical team that would work alongside other trades on the project and keep to our schedule. It’s in the aftercare and snagging phase that you can test a firm’s professionalism - Murray & Jones never let us down and we are delighted with our light, bright new office space. I’d very happily recommend them.

This was the first project which we worked with Murray and Jones and we were very pleased with their professionalism and attentiveness and they worked effectively alongside the other sub contractors throughout their time on site. I would personally recommend Murray and Jones as the whole team, including the younger members of the team were great to work with; trustworthy, polite and patient and their flexibility was second to none. I would be very happy to have Murray and Jones back working on projects with us in the future.

We asked Murray & Jones to implement our energy saving lighting design for our offices in Whitstable, Kent. We required a high quality installation of low energy LED light panels throughout various office buildings. It was important that the project had a minimum impact on our tenants and that meant working to a short completion date. Murray & Jones did a great job, they worked hard to meet our deadlines and our quality standards, and they also delivered the project on budget. We look forward to working with Murray & Jones again.
