About RLB
PREPARING BRIGHT MINDS FOR FUTURE SUCCESS
With over 1,200 professionals across 14 UK offices, our multi award-winning team delivers forward-thinking consultancy to schools and academy trusts nationwide. From built asset strategy and cost management to digital transformation, health and safety, and sustainability, we provide comprehensive support tailored to the unique needs of the education sector.
Our national team includes building surveyors, architectural and MEP designers, fire consultants, and decarbonisation specialists—bringing deep expertise in developing and enhancing learning estates in line with the Department for Education’s Good Estate Management for Schools (GEMS) guidance.
Driven by decades of experience and a passion for improving education outcomes, we help create sustainable, flexible, and efficient environments where pupils and students can thrive. As an employee-owned business, our independence ensures a 100% client-focused approach, free from conflicts of interest and built on long-term relationships.
As a proud delivery partner of the DfE’s Condition Data Collection (CDC) programme, we’ve seen firsthand the urgent need for change across our school estates. That’s why we take a people-centric, solutions-led approach—working closely with you to understand your challenges and priorities, and helping you shape high-performing buildings that meet today’s needs and tomorrow’s ambitions.
We are a trusted partner to the Department for Education, supporting CDC surveys and RAAC inspections.
100% employee-owned and managed, our independence brings authenticity, transparency and clarity to the guidance we provide.
We act as a single point of contact for your entire school estate. Our turnkey solution simplifies administration and can reduce unnecessary fees.
We have a strong track record of securing grants and capital funding for school improvements.
